How likely are you to recommend Dr. Valente?
I first came to Dr. Valente for a serious and painful problem in my neck which required a spinal fusion. Before surgery I was in terrible pain and my legs would go out on me or feel quite weak at other times. I had osteoarthritis growing into my spinal canal because of a bulging disc. I was terrified to have the surgery but his office staff and the Dr. himself explained things and helped me through all of it. It's not an easy recovery, but you can do it, I did. Little did I know that nearly two years later to the date I would have to have spinal fusion in my neck for a bulging disc again. This time I had a fall in May which caused another bulging disc to move slightly and cause another bone spur to grow, this time pinching a nerve. I cannot tell you how excruciating the pain is without cringing at the thought of what I went through. It was horrific! But I knew I was in GREAT hands with Dr. Valente and his staff. Once again, I came through this surgery in an incredible way. The one advice I'd like to give anyone reading this is "follow the Dr.'s orders, WEAR your neck brace correctly and at ALL times." Don't mess with your recovery, it's not worth it. Yes, you'll have to sleep in this neck brace for a full six weeks, you'll wear it day and night, but it is for the best. Do yourself another favor and search on YouTube how to sleep in the neck brace, it saved me so much pain the second time around. And with that, if you need an incredibly gifted and caring surgeon with a staff that compliments these attributes, then look no further. You've found a great surgeon.
