Spine Surgery

Mimi Torchin

I had several steroid shots in my spine over the years to various degrees of effectiveness. But it wasn't until I came to Dr. Wyss that every shot hit its mark and gave me several months of pain relief. He's also extremely kind and inspires total confidence. HSS is like space age medicine compared to where I received my other shots. Most recently when I found out the date of a planned trip to Africa too late the night before a scheduled shot to cancel, when I told him minutes before I was to receive my injection that I wished I could have had it closer to my trip, he canceled on the spot. I rescheduled for two weeks before my departure. Thanks to his great compassion and understanding, I was able to enjoy every minute of my 17 day Safari to Tanzania and Kenya. Thanks, doc. You're a rockstar!
