Dr Garber saved my life ! I can't tell you how many times I contemplated suicide because of the amount of pain I was in everyday . I am 28 years old and about 2 years I started to suffer with debilitating back pain . I found out that I had a severely herniated disc in my L5 S1 . My mother has numerous herniated discs and DDD so I genetically inherited it from her . I tried injections and physical therapy to no avail . I finally had a spinal fusion last November and I feel amazing ! I have little or no pain . I also had horrible pain in my neck , and come to find out I had 2 bulging discs in my C5 through C7 , again I tried physically therapy and injections to no avail . I recently just had 2 total disc replacements and am 2 weeks out from surgery and I feel amazing ! Now I must warn you since he is such an amazing surgeon he is very busy but I think that out ways the positives ! I feel like a young 20 year old girl again ! I can't thank him enough !
