Video Transcription

My name is Dr. Steve Stulc. I’m a PMR physician, which stands for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. And that’s a three-year residency that I did at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. And then, after that, I did a one-year fellowship in an anesthesia-based pain medicine fellowship at Penn State. Well, my current practice here at Summit Orthopedics for the spine service involves providing comprehensive spine care – whether that be recommendations on potential injection, comprehensive physical therapy program, or potential medicines to help with your pain. And, in certain circumstances, surgical referral. I have a lot of activities I like to do, outside of the clinic. I love to fly-fish. I’ve been doing that for about 10 years. And I also like to mountain bike. Greatest reward I get are small measurements. Patients who really potentially were met with failure other places, were told there was nothing they could do. Potentially offering them something that can even improve their function by 50 percent can turn out to be a life changer for them.
