“Phenomenal”
I just had surgery performed by Dr. Schwab on 1/9/2013. I had fusion of L5 and S1. Bone had to be taken from my sacroiliac region, and bone marrow taken from my hip, was placed in the fusion area to promote a good, solid bond forming, all held together with instrumentation and finally screwed together. My physical therapist who comes to my home remarked that my surgeons technique must be phenomenal, because he hadn't seen anyone with the amount of invasive work done like me that was up and doing the things I'm doing so quickly. Of course all surgery is painful, but the speed in which I am recovering is testament to Dr. Schwab's technique, knowledge, skill and caring. If I ever need anything done to me, I would go nowhere, but, Dr. Frank Schwab. Thank you Dr. for all you have done for me!!!
