What is the patient testimonial about?

In the video, this patient from the Bahamas, suffered a car accident in 2011. He went to two different doctors in the Bahamas, and then went to the Cleveland Clinic. After seeing 5 different doctors at the clinic, not one doctor was able to uncover the true pain generator.

The patient did his research and luckily found Dr. Nordt. In 2014, The patient came into Dr. Nordt’s office in Miami on crutches and had a difficult time walking. Dr. Nordt gave him a full and complete back examination, ordered xray and an MRI and found the issue. The surgery was performed and the patient went back to his normal life before the accident and has been pain free ever since. He only needed one spine surgery. This testimonial was taken in November 2019, almost 5 years later and the patient is still doing great.

Unlike most spine surgeons today, Dr. Nordt continues to follow up with his patients to ensure they continue to do well after surgery.
