My active lifestyle and strenuous work had caused me, overtime, to become progressively more…read morepainful in my lumbar spine. At 72, I was unable to stand up straight, like.a bent over old woman, my legs would go numb, and sometimes my muscles wouldn't work and I would just fall over! I couldn't walk more than 25 yards and I was in constant pain. I had asked to be referred to Dr. Yundt for over a year, but I kept ending up with other PAs and other neurosurgeons, because providers in corporations are unwilling to refer outside their group.All they told me to do was get injections into my spine, which did no good whatsoever. I finally did some foot stamping, and ended up in Dr. Yundt's office. he took one look at my MRI and told me not to worry, that he could help me.
I had a laminectomy on L 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5, and when I woke up from anesthesia, for the first time in two years, I could feel my feet, and when it came time to be discharged from this day surgery, I could stand up straight and tall, and walk normally, painlessly. I'm going to be able to ride my horse in another month, and now I can walk normally everywhere; I can hike, I walk my fields, And start living a normal life.
Dr. Yundt changed my life, or perhaps I should say that he returned my life to me. I cannot say enough, good about him. He was clear and concise, and very straightforward. Not only is he a skilIed and conscientious surgeon, but also a stellar person who does many works for those less fortunate. I don't think he has a God complex, but he certainly deserves to.
I love his staff, and they have taken good care of me. Kelly, at his phone board is always on point.
