I was 29 years old and had back pain for years. I started having severe sciatic pain that eventually became constant. I was unable to do any of the activities I love and was having to miss work. Dr. Wills did my surgery and when I woke up all the sciatic pain was gone. It was amazing! Dr. Wills even called the morning after surgery to check on me. From start to finish I had nothing but great care from the Summit team. It's been 10 months since my surgery and I'm pain free. Thanks Dr. Wills and his team for giving me my life back.
