Spinal Decompression Surgery

Kathryn Zerbe

In mid 2015 I began to suffer severe sciatica pain in my left leg and lower back. Many visits to many orthopedic doctors all ended in the same result, which was pain medication. Desperate for a permanent solution I was referred to HSS and Dr. Rawlins. He explained to me that you cannot fix a structural problem with chemicals. In August 2016 I had laminectomy surgery and I have never looked back. He is my angel always and forever. I'm living pain-free because of you. Thank you Dr. Rawlins!
