"I’d never had surgery before and suddenly needed emergency surgery on my spine. Dr. Joseffer explained the surgery in detail, making me feel at ease. He got on the OR schedule quickly and performed a discectomy to improve the compression in my spine.

A few days later, he performed another emergency surgery to repair a herniated disc. Thanks to Dr. Joseffer, I’m no longer in pain. My results were so impressive that my roommate in the hospital asked for a referral!"
