Dr. Rudin did an excellent job on my back. I went from nearly paralyzed to walking miles in just 2 months after surgery!

You gave me back my quality of life. I can walk, bend and I’m off pain meds. Thank you so very much!

The care I’ve received since my first visit has been exceptional. The staff is so caring and supportive; everyone is so understanding of my needs.

“Dr. Newell has been my spine doctor for several years. He is attentive, takes his time explaining non-operative choices. He has helped me with injections and pain management of my lower back. I am very satisfied and would recommend him. Because of his pain management planning on my behalf, I have been physically as active as ever.”

“It is with sincere gratitude that I offer this testimonial for Dr. Zaslavsky and his Physician Assistant, Alexandre Mikhail, PA-C. Following a severe accident in July 2024, I experienced debilitating pain that significantly limited my ability to perform routine daily activities and enjoy my hobbies.

Dr. Zaslavsky and Mr. Mikhail expertly performed a cervical fusion of my C4-C6 discs. The surgical outcome has been remarkable. I am now, thankfully, completely free of the chronic pain that had plagued me.

Remarkably, only six weeks post-surgery, I have been able to resume activities I cherish, including opening my pool for the 2025 season, without any recurrence of neck, shoulder, or right arm pain.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Zaslavsky, Alexandre Mikhail PA-C, and their dedicated team to anyone suffering from chronic pain. Their skill and commitment to patient well-being are truly exceptional, and I am confident in their ability to provide outstanding care and achieve positive outcomes.”

I never expected to get hurt at my age. I’m 34. When I got hurt at work I was referred to FSO and met with Dr. Z and Dr. Childers. I was afraid of what would happen to me.. if I’d be able to dance, if I’d be able to type with both hands, if I’d be able to even carry a basket of laundry ever again.

After many trials and diagnostic processes, we finally decided on a complete disc replacement. Was I scared? Of course! But after 18 months of suffering, and dealing with insurance and workman’s compensation, I was ready to do anything.

It’s funny, because now I AM able to do anything (within reason.) It’s been three months since my disc replacement and I feel like I finally have my life back. I am able to do chores as usual and take care of myself regularly without pain. There is now a small joy in doing dishes, because it doesn’t hurt! The surgery was done before I knew it and the pain was gone the very same day.

The joy of being able to live life again has given me so much, and I wouldn’t have that if it weren’t for the professional and gentle care of Dr. Z and Dr. Childers. Feel safe in their hands, they are miracle workers.
