Dr.Neubardt and Dr. Stern are extremely skilled, talented, honest and straight forward surgeons.Both of them have saved my life when eight years ago they have successfully performed ACDF due to spinal cord compression caused by a cervical herniated disc at the C5 and C6 level. I owe them my life, and will be forever grateful to them!Unfortunately and fortunately ...Unfortunately, last week I had to consult with them once again after receiving a MRI report indicating a disc fragment compression on my spinal cord in the thoracic region this time, specifically at the T6 level.Fortunately for me, the two of them agreed to a consult during which they have presented a very clear step by step action plan giving me more than just hope; they gave me a peace of mind.I can’t wait for the surgery to take place, so that I can regain my life - pain free - once again...Heartfelt thank-you to Alison for all her help.She is a gem!
