I have been meaning to write this review of my surgery I did in early April 2024. I remember the…read moreday I got my surgery as if it was yesterday. I am very happy I chose Dr. Zachary NaPier for my surgery. Here's my background as a patient and the history. I am originally from Hawaii and have been an active water polo player throughout the years. I consider myself active and healthy. Over time I would complain of back problems and muscle spasms, but it wouldn't last more than a few days. I was only 34 years old at the time when I suddenly felt extreme shooting pains down my legs that prevented me from walking for several hours. I went to a local hospital to get a steroid injection and was recommended I go see a pain doctor. After x-rays and an MRI, I was diagnosed with nerve damage, and severe spinal spondylosis in my L4-L5 region. I was put on heavy pain medications, various muscle relaxants, nerve thinners and I went through too many Aleve and Tylenol which did not help. I could not walk comfortably for more than 10 minutes. I did not like this lifestyle and found my pain getting more severe to the point where I could not work, and lay bed ridden with pain on the worst days. I needed surgical care. The spinal surgeons in Hawaii wanted to shave my spinal bones from the back to alleviate pain. They told me this is a temporary fix that would destabilize my back, and water polo would be out of the question. They even suggested jogging with caution. I would be due for continuous back injections after the surgery. I reached out to both UCLA Spine Center and DISC's Newport office. Neither could get back to me timely, and said they had issues with contacting my insurance. Then I heard of Indiana Spine Center and spoke with Dr. Zachary NaPier. I've read his bio which included experience at Cedar Sinai, Harvard, and procedure expertise in ALIF, LLIF and PTP LIF procedures. To be honest, I haven't even heard of these procedures at length before meeting him. I spoke to one of Dr. NaPier's assistants named Nikki. She is very warm and helpful. She quickly got me on Dr. NaPier's calendar for a video call. There were times I emailed Nikki after work and she responded to me very quickly from Indiana. After I "beamed" my images to Dr. NaPier he got back to me with a permanent solution utilizing a PTP LIF. There were animations he would show for every step of the surgery, along with examples of patients similar to me with successful results. This was the first time a doctor recommended approaching my situation through the side which would minimize muscle damage and pain. I have a local PPO insurance plan here in Hawaii that is somewhat notorious for taking a while to approve procedures. For example, both my MRI's took over a month each to be approved. I decided to go in to my health insurance office in person and luckily had Dr. NaPier on the phone during this meeting. I was approved within 20 minutes! An amazing first impression. Within a week of being approved, I made it to Indiana and met Dr. NaPier's team for surgery. The assistants, nurses, nutritionists, rehabilitation team, were all 5/5 amazing. I got a little nervous as I have never done surgery in my life, but Dr. NaPier walked me through the process. My operation pictures looked great and I walked the day of surgery. Before writing this review, I wanted to give it proper time to heal. Since surgery I have had amazing sleep and can do activities even better than before. Just last month I hiked up diamond head and now have been playing in water polo tournaments and practices. I followed the rehabilitation program and feel stronger every day. Thank you Dr. NaPier and everyone at Indiana Spine Center for everything you do! (Here is a picture of my x-ray and a picture of a recent water polo tournament. I am pictured holding the trophy on the right)

I decided to write a review because I have been reading nasty reviews (probably deserved) of other…read moredental offices in town, and I thought it might be nice to write a good review for a dental practice that definitely deserves it. I have been going to Dr Ortman since I moved to Lafayette in 2008 (I'm writing this in 2015). His staff has always been knowledgeable and friendly, and the dental hygienists are very good at what they do. Getting my teeth cleaned is not my favorite way to spend an hour, but they make it as pleasant as possible. The last hygienist I saw was Kirsten, and she was friendly, gentle, and even made me laugh a few times. There is a new dentist there, Nathan Webster, and not only is he a good dentist and explained everything clearly to me, but he's also easy on the eyes. Mmmm hmmm. Anyway, since my insurance is through Purdue (for grad students) and it's total crap, I had to pay out of pocket, about $245 for x-rays, exam, and cleaning. While that's not cheap for me at all, it's still better than going to the two places that are covered under my insurance, both of which magically see cavities that you don't have and run exorbitant, unnecessary treatments such as "deep cleaning" and "mouth cancer screen". Oh, and if you're from Dr. Ortman's practice and you're reading this: please update your website and add some pics of your new dentist. Thx.

He was willing to answer any of my questions without any impatience on his part. His delivery of pain injections was excellent. He first numbs the area to be injected. Which I know is standard. But he was also willing to give me some gas to take the edge off even more. He always told me in advance what to expect during the procedure. This morning I feel great. Minimal soreness (despite stitches for both teeth), nothing the pain meds he prescribed or Motrin/Tylenol can't handle. I have no concerns about my mouth healing up. Also, a very friendly member of his staff called me this morning just to see how things are going. Told me to call if I have any needs. I highly recommend Dr. Bagnoli.
