Oct 21, 2020 Report
To The Spine Centre Team, I had spinal surgery in June 2018, Dr Cleaver removed a herniated disc from my lower lumbar and replaced it with an artificial disc. I am very pleased to say that 20 months later I am completely satisfied with the results and living pain free. I haven't taken 1 tablet for pain since the surgery, and I enjoy an active lifestyle with my young family. I highly recommend the Spine Centre.
