Default Bio Spine Institute

5 days into my back surgery from this group in Orlando and I can’t say one bad thing about them or my surgery. Dr. Cucchi and his staff was excellent.

One small incision on each side of my spine (L4/L5), put a bone generating spacer in where the disc was, tie everything together with 2 tiny titanium brackets and the debilitating pain running down both legs is gone.

Back to work in another week!

Always good to get feedback from folks successful med procedures. I, for one, want to know we're to go that has produced good results. Also good to know who to avoid.
Eventually, most older folks will have need to know where the best results can likely be found.
Congrats on your success.

Yes it was. The bill for the surgery was a little over $21k; the back brace I’ll need to wear for about a month was $1,300; all covered.
