Dr. Magdy M El-Kalliny.did my spinal fusion in 2005, I was 59 years old ,I had been going to Vanderbilt ,in Nashville,Tennessee over 14 years.with any help, I was referred to Dr. El-Kalliny and after MRI's,he did a spinal fusion, and took 5 disk out and installed two 11 inch rods and 6 screws into my low back. I did as he told me and after a year.I recovered and can do a lot that I wasn't able to do before the operation, Dr.Elkalliny treated me and my family with the highest respect.and I would tell anyone who has a back problem to see him and take his advice and do as he tells you, after a year of recover, I have no pain in my legs, very little pain in my back,and I can lift up to about 35 pounds. I am 71 now and work 3 or 4 days a week at Sam's Club and alway buy and sell farm tractors.. Thank,You Dr. ElKalliny for healing me.. Just remember if you have back surgery or a spinal fusion ,it will take a long time to heal. Do as the Dr tells you.. Not as you want.. You will feel a lot better
