Micro spinal decompression for severe spinal stenosis with Dr. Massicotte. All symptoms were eliminated immediately following the surgery. Outstanding care and professionalism.

Micro spinal decompression

Dr. Massicotte did a minimally invasive lumbar laminectomy causing severe pain in my leg. The surgery went well and I could walk with no pain. I thank him for giving me back my freedom to walk again.
