Testimonials
-Janice H.
I would like to thank Dr. Musleh for my very successful back surgery in 2014. After going through severe pain in my lower back and the need to carry a cane to keep from falling caused from sudden loss of control of my left leg.
Today I am able to walk and stand with no limits, I am back to doing things that I have been unable to accomplish in several years.
I recently returned from a trip to Sofia Bulgaria, where I was able to walk around that city on rough skinny stone side walks with no pain or worry.
Many thanks again to Dr. Musleh and his staff for all they have done for me.
I will turn 76 in May and feel like I'm 46 again.

On Feb 6th 2015 I put my quality of life in the hands of Dr. Musleh & team. I put off back surgery for 14 years because at the time I was told there was nothing could be done. At the end of 2014 I ended up in Dr Musleh's office. I thank God I did. After some tests we found out that the nerve in my right leg was about to be cut off by bone growth. On Feb 6th 2015 I had a 9 hour surgery to fix the problem. Fuse L4 to S1 and cut the bone that was cutting off my nerve. The minute I opened my eyes there was NO pain in my right leg and my back feels so much better. Thank you Dr. Musleh and Team for your service.
