The optimal window for this surgery is within 3 weeks of the injury, but because of the MRI delay, Dr. Nuccion wasn't able to do the surgery until 6 weeks after. 5 1/2 months later, I am still not fully recovered, but I am well on my way doing light pushups and resuming tennis. I don't know what full recovery looks like a couple of months from now in terms of my strength and athletic capacity compared to before, but it's 100% guaranteed to be far better than the massive limitations I would've had to live with for the rest of my life had Dr Nuccion not been able to pull off the surgery despite the delay.

He makes the to explain medical terms and anatomical functions of your conditions and best available procedures to correct the conditions. Furthermore, he is comfortable with going into greater details about how the procedure/ procedures will improve the medical conditions. I was so surprised that after decades of my mother having spinal surgeries and epidurals by traditional orthopedic surgeons, she was left is severe debilitating pain. Her only recourse was pain medication, which left her tired, sleepy, and hopeless every day. She had a L5/S1 fusion and c4/c5 herniated disk surgery, and recently was diagnosed with spondyliothis/ degenerative spine condition. To make matters worse, the L5/S1 fusion has compacted the above vertebrae and worn down the cushion in L4 to the point of bone on bone. We had been searching for a remedy for years, and we're only offered cortisone, epidurals, and ultimately fusion surgery (again), by doctor after doctor. Until.... We met Dr. Wu. In 15 minutes he explained an outpatient procedure that we had never heard of, that for the first time - actually made sense! So we gave it a try. In 15 minutes, Dr. Wu completed his recommended procedure on my mother. In 2 days, she was walking without a walking stick/ cane, not needing wheelchair assistance, not debilitated by severe pain, nor completely dependent on medications like nerve modulators, or opioid pain killers, or muscle relaxants to maintain her daily activities. A week later, I am truly amazed that his work has reduced her pain by more than 60% and now she is walking and smiling and laughing again. She has improved drastically, and now I am blessed to enjoy holding her hand while walking together - something we have not done since I was much younger. I missed so many years of this special experience with her. Thank you so much, Dr. Wu; for giving us new memories to rekindle. PS. Thank you for diagnosing and treating my bursitis. I can bend my knee again and walk without a painful limp. I had no idea the problem could be fixed so quickly and feel so much better! Sincerely, Yamina

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Peter Borden for his exceptional care and…read moreexpertise over the years. About 20 years ago, Dr. Borden corrected the results of a failed knee surgery that another doctor had performed on my daughter. Thanks to his skill and dedication, she was able to recover and return to an active life. Since then, our family has trusted him many times. In total, Dr. Borden performed four surgeries on my daughter during her teenage years, when she was very active in sports and unfortunately experienced multiple injuries. Each time, we felt confident that she was in the best possible hands. Recently, I found myself needing his help as well after injuring the menisci and ligaments in both of my knees while traveling in Europe. Without hesitation, I turned to Dr. Borden. Today, all surgeries and recovery are behind me. I consistently attended physical therapy, and what I especially appreciated was that Dr. Borden personally monitored my progress throughout the entire process. That level of attention and care truly means a lot to a patient. Dr. Borden is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also a compassionate and dedicated physician. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

I am really late in recognizing the caliber of employee and the care that I received from everyone…read moreat this clinic after my shoulder surgery. When one suffers any kind of injury, and its concomitant loss of the ability to engage in normal day-to-day activities, it takes both a physical and psychological toll. We go through our lives with the presumption that tomorrow will be just like today, and when there is a breakdown in that pattern, we have to entrust strangers to the task of helping us repair the damage and to return to our lives. I consider myself incredibly lucky that the staff of Sports and Spine Orthopedics was recommended to me for this purpose. After my surgery, my doctor informed me that not all therapists are created equal. Sadly, many places simply throw an ice pack on your injury, give you a couple exercises to do, and send you on your way. This almost guarantees your injury will never heal correctly, and your lifetime mobility will almost certainly be impacted. From day one, my therapist, Dr. Joy Puente, pushed me and ensured that although the process wasn't a physically pleasant one, it was necessary and she made me feel very comfortable pushing my body where it needed to go. She was not just an incredible therapist, but she always maintained a strong sense of oversight over all of the events occurring on the floor. Even though she might be working with me, she was constantly aware of other patients, and other employees. She provided guidance, and ensured that others were given gentle correction if an exercise was off or being done incorrectly by a patient. It's the little things that separate the average from the superb. She is a wonderful leader, therapist, and person. I'd like to acknowledge some of the other employees as well. Ashlee was the first face I would generally see upon arriving for my appointments. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. One day I heard her recounting a story for a client who pointed out her bubbly personality. She told him that her mother had told her, "Nobody who comes to a hospital wants to see a frown on an employee," or words to that effect. It is words of wisdom such as this from our parents that set us out on our path into this world to become valuable employees, friends, and civic minded citizens. She's a wonderful young lady. The world needs more smiles and kind words for those in need of them. Big shout out to Marco, Diego, and Katherine (Catherine, Kathryn?). Each of these employees helped me on numerous occasions, even though the floor was busy, they painstakingly and caringly helped me with my exercises, and made sure I wasn't cheating. As our coaches once taught us, when we cheat, we're only cheating ourselves. God bless each of them for their kindness and care. In short, I was given excellent attention and, in a small way, wished that my sessions did not come to an end. These therapists are often tasked with working with some difficult clients, and they also have to listen to some very personal life stories. Part of their job, although certainly not in their job description, is to provide some "pastoral care," to these men and women, many of whom are elderly. The care they give is an excellent manifestation of the corporal works of mercy which we are called to provide to our fellow brothers and sisters. If you're still reading, I hope that this review has properly acknowledged and lauded those who helped me get back into the gym and back to work. My shoulder is back to its full range of movement, and I'm even "pre-habilitating" my other one. I wish all of the employees at this office the best and may each of you who read this who are recovering from surgery be returned to your former active lifestyles.

My awesome doctor, Dr. Farahmand, has requested testing for me in an effort to see how my body is handling my medications. I stopped by the office to pickup the proper paperwork to take down the hall for the lab to use and was warmly greeted, as always, by his staff. There ended up being a small snafu with the requested test not being available for me at the lab, but his staff did all they could to assist me with still trying to get it done. After several attempts to get the correct test for me on hand, I sadly had to leave without accomplishing the objective. But the funny part was that I just see this as I will have another chance to see the smiling faces of the Sports & Spine staff again in another week when the test does become available for me. The staff is so welcoming that it is actually a doctor office that I look forward to visiting, and for that I say THANK YOU! Thank you for making me feel seen and heard. And thank you so much for keeping me calm as I navigate the difficult waters of back pain. I appreciate all that your office does for me and others.
