Herniated Disc (Bulging Disc)

Daved De La Cruz

In 2011 I had an accident at work. As a result I incurred three herniated discs from it. For three years I went back and forth trying everything that was recommended in order to get better. I did countless hours of therapy, shots, and many other things. Nothing seemed to help and my condition got worse. I finally decided to get surgery. The real mission began at that point. Where do you go and who will do the surgery? After much research, I finally decided to get the surgery done at HSS. Dr. Hughes and his team were great from the first visit. He made me feel better comfortable and was there every step of the way. The surgery was a success and Dr. Hughes gave me back the ability to continue one of my hobbies which is hunting with a bow. I was unable to do that since the accident. Thank you Dr. Hughes and HSS for your professionalism and care.
