The staff made an appointment supposedly and never contacted me. Then, they made another appointment and when I got there, they said I wasn’t scheduled. The wait to see this doctor is always two plus hours. He kept referring me for injections instead of fixing me (again). My new doctor in Memphis had to correct the surgery and could not believe I was told I was fine for over two years.

Surgical correction of stenosis has been wonderful. The constant shooting pain is totally gone. Some minor numbness and tightness are only remnants of my pinched nerve. It did take several weeks to heal but each day the nerve pain became less and less. The actual surgery sight was never painful, I had an easy and quick recovery!

I had very good service! The staff are very friendly and courteous and answer all questions. Dr. Schlesinger was very courteous and explained the surgery he preformed on my back so I had an understanding of what would be done.

I felt that Dr. Schlesinger and staff did all they could for me to avoid surgery which I appreciated. However having the surgery, everything went well and as of today I’m very glad I had it!

I had excruciating pain down my left arm. I went to the emergency room and then to my PCP- both treated me with medication but didn’t help. Referred me to a physical therapy practice in my hometown, that did not help. Finally I was referred to Dr. Schlesinger. An MRI showed bone spurs at C5,C6,C7. We opted in for surgery and I had instant relief afterwards. Other than recovering from surgery I have no pain at 3 months out.

Before surgery I could not hold a knife or fork without extreme pain in my hands. After surgery on my neck I feel great and life is great at 71!
