What Patients are Saying About Abington - Jefferson Health

• “At every step of the way, from the neurologist’s office to the ETC to my operation and inpatient stay, I was treated with compassion and empathy. I always felt I had chosen the right place for my care.”
  — Melissa
• “When I woke up [from surgery], I got out of bed and used the walker right away, and walked up and down the floor three times. A nurse asked why I was crying – I told her it was happy tears. I had instant relief from the unbearable pain that had gone up and down my legs, my whole back. I have since told three people who are having similar pain to have the surgery – you don’t have to live like that. Get relief now!”
  — Edwin
• "I only needed a walker for the first week after surgery. I think even Dr. Hsu was surprised. I was back to driving six weeks after the surgery. I’m living my life again. Best of all, I don’t have that all-consuming pain from so many pinched nerves.”
  — Barbara
• “After spinal surgery, I was able to do what I’ve wanted to do for 30 years – hike in the Himalayas!”
  — Linda
• “As soon as I put my foot on the floor to stand [post-surgery], I realized all of my pain was gone. Since that moment, I have had no pain whatsoever. Without this surgery, I would be in a wheelchair now.... You can’t go on in constant agony. I’m so thankful to Dr. Barrer for his skill in finding and fixing the source of my pain. I’ve been telling everyone I know about my results.”
  — Joan
• "Chronic pain was hurting me and my family. I'm so glad I met Dr. Lee that day. This surgery - and his skill and compassion - have truly changed my life."
