Microdiscectomy: Minimally Invasive Surgery for a Herniated Disc

Mack Ward

In September of 2020, I underwent a microdiscectomy performed by Dr. Huang to treat sciatic pain from a bulging disc. Since then, I've been pain-free, which has completely changed my life. Rather than feeling irritable and exhausted at the end of each day, I feel comfortable and capable. In fact, in early 2022, I started doing triathlons and recently completed my first IRONMAN race. I made a video to commemorate the journey. Be warned, it's a bit self-indulgent, but I thought you might like to see how far I've come, thanks to your life-altering procedure. I will forever be grateful for what you did for me.
