Review for Dr. Purvines

I had a protruding L5-S1 disc. We had a couple consultations. Dr. Purvines was 50-50 if he wanted to do the surgery. We ended up doing it, which basically was using a laser to remove disc material pressing on the nerve root. Dr. Purvines commented after the surgery he was surprised I was walking and...
