Patient Story of: Martin Ludorf

Southbury, CT

Spinal Stenosis

Patient image of: Martin  Ludorf

Before surgery, I was unable to travel, work effectively, or simply enjoy everyday life. Today, I am able to do all of those things again.

Dr. Sheha initially recommended several non-surgical treatment options, which I agreed to pursue for a period of time. While these treatments provided some limited relief from my back pain, we eventually agreed that surgery would offer the best long-term outcome - and it absolutely did.

Since the procedure, my quality of life has improved immeasurably. Before surgery, I was unable to travel, work effectively, or simply enjoy everyday life. Today, I am able to do all of those things again.

The entire staff and the HSS organization provided outstanding care both before and after my surgery, and they continue to do so. My sincere thanks to Dr. Sheha, Vivian, and Michel - a truly exceptional team of dedicated professionals who made a tremendous difference in my life.
