Option AOption BOption COption DOption EDue to severe scoliosis I was having difficulty walking and in a lot of pain. I was referred to Dr Armin by an acquaintance. I was in so much pain I had difficulty sitting in the car. My daughter was getting married and I needed to drive 8 hrs in each direction several times to help her with the wedding and to later attend the wedding. When I saw Dr Armin he could tell my spinal cord was being constricted by my curving spine. He said I needed a laminectomy to release the pressure. It was an outpatient procedure and I was amazed that my problem was immediately solved. I was out of pain and able to enjoy my daughters wedding. Dr Armin explained to me that my scoliosis was going to continue and I would eventually need a different surgery. Three years later I was in pain again and my spine was at a 50 degree curve so Dr Armin did a lower lumbar fusion. That was five years ago and my posture is still very good and I have minimal pain. Dr Armin is very a compassionate and concerned physician who wants the very best for his patients. I’m very happy I was refer to his office and he was able to help me.07/12/22
