Despite earlier reservations with their scheduling delays I ended up getting microdecompression endoscopic spinal discectomy surgery by Dr. Kondrashov. The half day outpatient procedure was 100% successful, totally relieving the excruciating leg cramps I’d been having. The St. Mary’s Spine Center Staff was caring and thorough in their followups. The only thing they should have done differently is set a more realistic expectation about the painful 2 week recovery period.
