Disc Replacement Surgery

Patient image of: Jackie

When I was a teenager, I was hit by a drunk driver. I had injuries, but I didn’t know how extensive my injuries were till later in life. Years later, I started to develop neck pain, and the pain got more and more intense until one day, I woke up and I couldn’t move my neck. After my first surgery at another hospital, I never fully recovered. I developed intense pain that just became too hard to push through.

When I found Dr. Qureshi, I immediately felt comfortable. He recommended disc replacement, an option that hadn’t been available to me at other hospitals. After my surgery, I felt like I was finally healing and moving back into life naturally. Knowing that I’m fixed, being able to do what I want to do, it’s priceless.
