I'm 4 months post-op and my life has totally changed from my surgery. For12 years I've suffered from degenerative disc disease. In February on vacation I could barely walk 100 yards without stopping. Dr Q fused L5-S1 both front and back and my recovery was amazing. Within 3 weeks I was walking 2+ miles every day without any breaks. He explained the procedure very clearly before and made sure I understood the procedure with no questions. He checked in on me every day in the hospital to make sure that the pain management was working for me. Follow up were great with his PA as well. I would strongly recommend Dr Qureshi to anyone thinking of spine surgery. My only regret is that I waited so long to take care of my problem
