Patient Reviews
Sep 25, 2024
Dr. Lu assessed me with Sciatica L-5 and hoped I would try non invasive physical therapy, but the pain was so great, I just could not do it. So he suggested surgery to cut away the cushion area between spine disc through a less than 2 ' incision. I went to a nearby hospital and had a remarkably 'unremarkable' surgery. The whole procedure took me from admittance to discharge about 3 hours maximum. I came home with mild discomfort. For a few days it was difficult to hop into bed, or get groceries, and move like I use to, but soon I was no longer in any sciatica pain and for me, that's everything. I recommend him highly as he is highly trained and skilled in this specific surgery.
