Greetings to all............. My name is Dean Kachulis and I live in Waterbury, CT. After neglecting my body for over a decade, I decided to undergo spine surgery : I went into this venture with few expectations but I chose David Kramer................... I knew that there was something special -- about his surgical prowess that most guys don't have. After reviewing my M.R.I., he made it perfectly clear that ANY serious improvement was a long-shot. It's been almost seven weeks since my surgery, and, I DO see positive results. My right leg HAS gotten better {lower leg} and I FEEL that a miracle {"Dr. Dave's words} could happen. He assured me after my surgery {at Danbury hospital} that NONE of my discs were pressed against my nerves. I believe that 2 or 3 discs were fused as well. I am no longer experiencing ANY drop-foot {right leg} when I walk. I hope that my next check-up reveals more improvement. Every day, my right foot wiggles a bit more, as do my toes. NONE of this movement was present BEFORE my surgery. Whenever I walk, my spine feels like it's floating on a cloud : I can't explain it..................... Maybe that's normal when discs have been fused. {I think titanium was used - I dunno'.... ha, ha}. All I can say is this, "WHEN YOU'RE FACING A LOADED GUN, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE -- RIGHT?" Dr. Kramer is the real-deal man -- and, he is very empathetic.......................... A bit unpretentious as well. You don't see that in too many guys................ So, forget all your troubles and put your faith in a truly qualified surgeon........... My very best, Dean O read more
