I had a four level fusion in April 2016 by another surgeon which was a total failure my pain was worst and after 2 years of chronic uncontrollable pain I was sent to Dr Margraf by my pain management Dr... two weeks later I had a surgery that included my surgery from 2016 being redone and four levels above!! I went from not being able to control my left leg to completely picking it up as I was waking from recovery... I feel like Dr Margraf gave me my life back two weeks after the surgery and I can walk with no dragging my left leg I can also pick it up 3 foot laying flat down!! I am a 60 year old female and I feel like my life just done a 360 turn around I have quality to life now and I do not have that deep down excruciating pain and that I am very grateful to Dr Margraf he is amazing and I thank God I was referred to him! I do have pain now but it’s the normal after surgery pain .. Thanks again Dr Margraf and your staff you guys are wonderful ??
