Swann, Karl W, Md - Neurosurgical Associates

I am a 32 yr old female w/ lumbar disc degeneration. I tried for multiple strains, years, and non-evasive procedures to overcome the pain, but the last back strain that put me out of commission and 12 weeks of work had me at no other point but surgery. With todays advances and Dr. Fichtel's explanation and website I felt very comfortable going into my procedure, Microscopic Diskectomy. It was performed on an outpatient basis and immediately alleviated me of my back pain. I have had to recover in other ways due to the deterioration of the muscles that I had to work back into shape and am still working very hard at my physical therapy, but I know bcse of his help I am on my way finally to recovery, whereas I have been so limited for so many years. His follow-up appointments have proved him to be a very attentive physician and he did not just write me off after the procedure when I was having some other difficulties. I am very greatful to have found and utilized him.
