Cervical Spine Surgery
After my car accident I have never been the same. I had MRIs and about 5 consulta with different surgeons, in the hopes that I would here that I didn’t need surgery. Unfortunately, all doctors agreed on the severity and need to for surgery. As a healthcare provider myself I was more afraid of the outcome of such serious surgery especially on the cervical spine. I wanted to feel better but not at the risk of becoming more disabled. In this process I was referred to Dr. Apazidis about a 1 yr after, I saw him and I saw his confidence in his work pouring out of him. He was so thorough with explanation, illustration by viewing my MRI cd, not even cutting corners by reviewing a report of the MRI read by someone else. He knew his stuff, so much that he told me if I ignored this I will eventually be nearly paralyzed from my upper extremities. Of course, I’m young so I didn’t believe that part so I left and decided to ride out the pain. But 6 months later, I realized more tingling, numbness and pain not only headaches, neck pain but now my hands, thumbs contracting and very painful. Then when I noticed I could grab things and I was dropping most items from my hands most of the time, this is when I called the only doctor that gave me the reassurance with his confidence Dr Apazidis. After a new MRI with worst results and another consult we scheduled the surgery. A week after the surgery I was up, feeling better. He was so attentive preop and postop. Such a great doctor and he is really good at what he does!!
