After having back pain on and off for 20 plus years, I had over a month of excruciating pain. I was going on a dream trip to Hawaii in less than a month and I knew there was no way I could enjoy it with the pain I was in. I was incredibly fortunate to find Dr. Yevgeny Khavkin. Dr. Khavkin's expertise and confidence is only trumped by his patience and caring. Dr. Khavkin was quick to get to the root of the problem. After surgery, I was not only pain free, but I felt better than I had in years. I dreamed of going to Hawaii all my life and thanks to Dr. Khavkin I was able to truly make it a trip if a lifetime.
