I spent one year hardly able to walk. For three months I needed a cane to standup, it was then I knew I must try to find a solution. My doctor Toulouse suggested I see doctor Howe. Doctor Howe decided to do L4-5 STENOSIS and L4-5 LAMINECTOMY. He did this procedure on March 24th and now nine weeks later I can walk without a cane. I am so grateful to him for this gift!!! He gave me my life back.

I can now do everything I did before except skiing. Thank you, Dr. Howe, you gave me my life back. You were real prompt on appointments, you also would check my grandsons Dylan’s back just to make him feel you cared about his back. I have recommended you to my friends with back problems.
