A Patient Story
Thank you Dr. Herceg and CeCe! I am now 4.5 months post surgery and feeling like I got my life back. I can not begin to say thank you enough, not only Dr. Herceg but the whole team. From my first meeting he made me feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable with options to resolve or help with my back issues, with only one being the right choice for long term relieve. I have known for over 20 years that I would need surgery at some point, from the severe spinal stenosis and disc degeneration at L4, L5, S1. Utilizing exercising, chiropractic care, and physical therapy kept me going but by the end of 2021 in to 2022 I was degrading quickly so by the time I contacted Dr. Herceg in March 2022 I was in constant pain and basically disabled utilizing a walker to get around.
I had met with three other spine surgeons over those 20 years and all said I was surgical via the xrays and scans but not symptomatic enough or told I was to much of a risk since I am a bigger guy.
Fortunately six plus months before seeing Dr. Herceg a friend had a fusion surgery by him which was successful, fortunately for me she highly recommended him. When I met Dr. Herceg for first time, he confirmed I was surgical and was ready for the spinal fusion if I choose that option – here I am highly recommending him, CeCe, and the team at Dublin Methodist. If you meet with him don’t expect a chatty Dr., he is to the point but answered all my questions along with making me feel confident in him and that all the previous denials were for a purpose, to get to the right doctor – I did. The end result says it all, I am another success story.
Thanks again!
