Spinal Fusion Surgery

Rosalie Greenbaum

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Heidi Prather and Dr. Gbolabo Sokunbi, who quite literally saved my life. After being diagnosed with severe spinal cord stenosis and cord compression (myelopathy), I was urgently referred for surgery. Thanks to Dr. Prather's care and timely referral, and Dr. Sokunbi’s extraordinary skill in operating on my spinal cord, I have an excellent outcome.

Their expertise, compassion, and quick action prevented what could have been a devastating outcome. I have happily returned to my volunteer position as a museum docent, and to the travels I enjoy with my family. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Prather and Dr. Solunbi as well as to the entire team at HSS for the excellent care I received.
