I am closing in on 5 weeks now and all is going very well. Pain levels keep getting better, med levels keep going down. Dr Zeegers fixed me. The surgery report validates my decision and Dr Zeegers diagnosis. It feels so good to know I had the right thing done. Most US neurosurgeons would not have done anything for me. I'm in that category of people whose mri did not reflect the amount of pain I was in. I am so grateful that doctors like Willem Zeegers are out there. So for any of you who are going thru hell with spine pain and not getting a clear consensus of opinion or perhaps are not getting any significant recommendation, I suggest you see Dr Z. He's a spine saver.
