February 2007 My name is Peter Jacobsen, I live in Bonita Springs, Florida and I had Lumbar Surgery at LSI.

As a 30-year veteran of the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour, I wasn't surprised when I started to develop pain in my back and my legs. Each year my pain grew worse, impacting my golf game and the ability to compete at the highest level. It was also getting in the way of my quality of life, preventing me from doing the things that I love to do with my family and friends. It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to participate in simple everyday activities like walking, biking and exercising. I didn't want to live like that!

There were many different treatment options and facilities that offered to help me, ranging from standard physical therapy and rehabilitation to traditional open back surgery, but none of those services offered the recovery time I was looking for - something that would get me back out on the course quickly!

After months of research, a friend told me about the Laser Spine Institute and their techniques that reduce recovery time and enable you to be treated in an outpatient setting without the use of general anesthesia. I met with the staff and within days scheduled my procedure.

To this day I can't believe how short my recovery time was. I even made a run at winning the 2007 Toshiba Classic only ten days after my procedure! Since then, I've won the 2008 Wendy's Champions SKINS GAME and look forward to participating in many more events this year and in the future.

Thanks to the fantastic staff at LSI who helped get me back on my feet and out on the golf course again!

WOW! Talk about relief! Walk in one day with pain and out the next day painless. That smile on my face was created by the Laser Spine Institute of Scottsdale. The entire staff from the doctors, nurses, nurse's assistants and receptionists were friendly, courteous, knowledgable and attentive. It's hard to beat that type of spirit. Thanks Laser Spine for "Giving Me My Life Back.
November 2008 My name is Joan Cardarelli, I live in Daytona Beach, Florida and I had Lumbar Surgery at LSI.
When I think of or mention LSI, it brings tears to my eyes; my tears are from the joy I feel. My tears truly compliment my intense gratitude that words cannot explain. I am happy and cannot stop saying "I love that place"!! Thank God for each one of you at LSI. You work as individuals, yet as a synchronized work of art. You are a credit to the medical profession, you shine as you consider and implement every need of each patient, their family that shares in the suffering and then, thank God, share in the joy as each one leaves with their lives back.
September 2008 My name is Cheryl Iggulden, I live in Edmonton, Alberta and I had Cervical Surgery at LSI.
I have been in pain for over ten years and this last year has been the worst with chronic pain in my right arm and tremors in the left arm. Once the MRI results were in my family doctor only recommended Laser Spine surgery. After a couple of months research on the internet and a close friend had successful surgery at LSI I was convinced. I walked in to the operating room and walked out pain free. It has been two days and I feel like a new woman. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at LSI.

August 2008 My name is Barbara Cannady, I live in Dothan, Alabama and I had Lumbar Surgery at LSI.
I had doctors tell me that all they could do was open surgery with fusion, screws and rods. I said no way and thanks to Dr Scott and LSI I have a new spine pain free. I feel like I am walking on a cloud, God bless you LSI.

This is a place of miracles!! My deepest thank you and appreciation to Dr. Weiss and each person at LSI for giving me my life back again. I can walk, sit and stand without excruciating pain. I don not have the words to express my gratitude.
January 2008 My name is Donna Martin, and I had Cervical Surgery at LSI.
The service of my patient relations coordinator, the driver Eddie and the staff of the physical therapy was excellence or even above. I felt absolutely at ease and relaxed with the telephone operators Ashley and Priscilla, their kindness was super. When I was changing my mind on the morning of my procedure, the nurses sent to me were so kind and treated me with so much love and respect I just had to stay. The surgeon was one in a million and I thank God for leading me to this Institution of such high moral standard and integrity. They are very thorough and leave no stone unturned in ensuing that you are properly taken care of. Thank you.

As a Division One soccer player, LSI has given me the chance to live life to the fullest and continue playing the sport I love.
November 2007 My name is Joanne Bell, I live in Oregon, Ohio and I had Lumbar Surgery at LSI.
I have had sciatica and back pain for five years and I could not walk or stand for longer than five minutes at a time. The day I had surgery I walked around a store that evening without a problem. It is a miracle I can now walk and stand without pain I can now get back to living again. I was sceptical at the procedure but one hour after surgery I knew I was a new person so thank you LSI for making me a new person again.
May 2007 My name is William Agyei, I live in Chesapeake, Virginia and I had Lumbar Surgery at LSI.
About four years ago, I started feeling pains in my lower back. Later on when I woke up in the morning I had difficulties getting out of bed because of the pain. The pain would move into my buttocks, legs, and down into the feet. My feet became numb. The numbness made walking extremely difficult. Pain medication a series of physical therapy and steroid injections did not work. My dear wife discovered LSI over the internet. I contacted LSI and I was asked to send in my MRI I did, I had my surgery and, Immediately after the surgery I was able to walk pain free. It feels good to be pain free again. I will strongly recommend LSI to anyone in a similar situation.
April 2007 My name is Laura Henle, I live in Nutley, New Jersey and I had Lumbar Surgery at LSI.
Well, here I am one week post surgery and I feel GREAT! Before my surgery at LSI, I had relentless pain in my right lower back, hips, buttocks, and calf that was increasing in intensity so that sleeping was unheard of, and even standing in line at the bank, post office or deli was intolerable. I was looking for some way to alleviate the pain so that I could attempt to live normally. Now I don't have any of that! Just a tiny tingling sensation as my incisions heal! I am truly amazed at what they can do at the Laser spine Institute! I walked into the operating room with the assistance of my anesthesiologist "Peter" who was truly wonderful! ( thank you Peter!)He helped me through the entire process, explaining what was being done, and making sure I was not in any pain. My "procedure" was completed in under an hour, and thanks to the skilled hands of Dr. Michael Weiss, I was on my way to getting my life back. Again, my anesthesiologist and my post op nurses took wonderful care of me, and I was only in recovery for under and hour. My sister was brought back to meet me and there I was walking out of the Laser Spine Institute feeling confident that this one was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made in my life! We went back to our hotel, and I rested for a bit, then I was up and walking for my 30-40 minute walk as I was told. ( again.. totally amazing!) We went to dinner and I could not wait to get on the phone to call all my family and friends to tell them how great I felt already! My sutures will come out in four more days and in the interim, I am doing the exercises I was taught in Physical Therapy before I left LSI to retrain my posture to support my "new" back. I am feeling better and stronger every day! This was a truly AMAZING experience. You are treated with caring, compassion and humor, pleasant smiles and good wishes the entire time. The entire atmosphere at LSI is one of total positive thinking. You see it from the moment you sign in for the first time, to all of the other "patients" filled with anticipation, and right to the last moment your actually sad to leave all your new found friends. The knowledge they have at the Laser Spine Institute is an inspiration to me. I am now walking tall again at my 5'10" height rather than being hunched over in pain. I tell everyone I know, and everyone I meet about my experience with the hope that anyone who suffers the same way I did, or worse, that hearing my story will "inspire" them to look to LSI to help get them on the road to living life to the fullest! Thank you LSI!
