More than five years after the surgery, the patient is living an active and fulfilling life again. The debilitating nerve pain that once dominated everyday life is gone, mobility has been preserved, and long periods of sitting, traveling, hiking, and physical activity are once again possible. Follow-up imaging confirms that the ESP-LP artificial disc remains well positioned and that the adjacent disc is healthy.

 

I could have had surgery for my L5/S1 in the United States had I pushed for it … instead chose to have Dr. Desai fix my back.

 

Surgical Results: Since day one of the surgery, I continue to be 100% FREE from any back pain. Prior to surgery I did not have any nerve damage and had only minor radiculopathy.

 

My thorough research led me to the LP-ESP artificial disc. Then I searched for a top surgeon with lots of disc replacement experience. Dr. Desai has been implanting artificial discs since 2004.

 

I am very grateful for the years of study and experience that Dr. Desai has spent in becoming such a skilled surgeon. And, now I can move again and participate in activities that add such joy to life.
