My pain was in my lower back on the left side. After I had a Rhizotomy at Spine Institute of Central Florida, maybe 20 seconds later the pain was gone before I even got off the procedure table. If someone is having pain like I was having and they don’t have this done they are stupid. I’ll have it done as many times as it takes. It’s a very tolerable procedure and only feels like a little pinch. It’s not even worth talking about because that’s how little it hurts. When Dr. Okafor burns the nerves I didn’t feel it at all. He told me he was finished and I couldn’t believe it but my pain was gone.

I’m feeling great and have much pain relief after my kyphoplasty at Spine Institute of Central Florida. It hurt a lot less than I thought it would and I got pain relief within a couple of days. I was having pain maybe up to a level 9 sometimes but I have pain relief now. They take great care of me here and make sure the procedure is done right and I am very, very pleased. I’m amazed at how well I feel.

I had a back problem in my lower back, it was aggravating my spinal cord and the pain went down my leg. Injections didn’t work for me and after getting the MRI done it showed I really had a mess going on. Dr. Kyle Merritt even came to me my first visit after getting the MRI and he said he couldn’t believe I was walking without a wheelchair. I’m a Christian and I believe in prayer so I prayed about my situation and it seems I was led to come to Spine Institute of Central Florida and have Dr. Okafor do the surgery. I am very pleased and I have no pain and this is four months after surgery. I’m 81 so I’m real blessed with good health, I’ve had a long and full life and I don’t expect to go anywhere anytime soon. I appreciate everything the staff at Spine Institute of Central Florida has done for me and I would recommend to anyone and I’m real pleased. My wife has also come for her back problems and she got injections. We are both very pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

Dr. Okafor was supposed to be the doctor who was supposed to be the surgeon on my neck so I had the chance to have him repair the problem I had and I will never use anyone else and I recommend him to anyone else who wants to be fixed right. I am his unofficial spokesperson!

The staff is wonderful at Spine Institute of Central Florida. They've been very helpful with everything. Kyle spoke with me during all my pre-op appointments and he always took the extra time to make sure I always got all my questions answered, even if I repeated myself! Dr. Okafor took the time to visit me and explain the procedure beforehand. Having spine surgery was terrifying but the staff really took the time to explain everything and it made me feel very comfortable and confident!

Nice courteous staff. I never feel rushed when I'm here. Staff always asks hows I am before, during and after session. I enjoy coming here for therapy sessions and will recommend this place when and if the need arises. A++

I am 4 weeks post op. I had 2 back surgeries in 2 days. Dr. Okafor did a wonderful job. Even only 4 weeks out, I have very little to no back pain at all. It has been years since I felt no pain. I can walk now. Before surgery I couldn't walk from the parking lot to the store. I recommend Dr. Okafor if you are considering back surgery.
