Jodi

Just a little over one year ago, I believe I had almost come to the point where I felt I might have to accept pain as a way of life, along with the inability to stand up straight or walk normally.  After meeting with Dr. Francis and his fantastic staff at Spine Associates, I began to believe that I actually had a chance to improve my quality of life.  I just had no idea how true that would be!

Almost two years following the last of two prior back surgeries, my condition seemed to be worsening, and I was in constant pain.  I had always been very physically active, and it was difficult not to be able to do so many things that make up who I am.

Now I am almost one year post-operative with Dr. Francis; having found Dr. Francis is just one more thing for which I have to be truly thankful! 

Dr. Francis is caring and compassionate and, at the same time, he is honest and straightforward, so that I was able to be informed and actively involved in decisions regarding my own health.  I believe his skill as a surgeon is an absolute gift.  He cares deeply about the overall well-being of each patient, as well as caring about them as individuals.

Thanks to this awesomely talented and skilled man, I feel normal again, and each day brings continued improvement in my condition …. Thank you, Dr. Francis …….. for giving me my life back!
