Pain free!

After many years of having back issues, it finally came to the point of seeking medical advice from a spine surgeon. Coming highly recommended, my first choice was Dr. Ernest Braxton at Vail Summit Orthopaedics. I was having extreme nerve pain, constantly a nine/ten level, from the base of my spine down my legs. An MRI revealed scoliosis and spinal stenosis, along with arthritis. A spinal laminectomy was scheduled for January 20, 2022, and Dr. Braxton said the pain would be gone as soon as the procedure was complete. I am happy to say I have had no pain since my surgery. Dr. Braxton is brilliant, and I recommend him and his highly qualified staff to anyone who has back or neck issues.
