Tanya Dorato (Howell, New Jersey)

Surgery / Procedure: Endoscopic Lumbar Spine Laser Surgery

I am 33 and a mother of a 2 year old. It was difficult to say the least, to function normally with constant back and leg pain. I was only able to sit, stand or walk for short periods of time. I was in pain for several months and tried everything. Injections, epidurals, physical therapy, and chiropractic, nothing really helped.

I was referred to Dr. Liu and was happy to need a doctor who actually concerned and wanted to help me. After speaking with him, my husband and I felt very comfortable with his plan for alleviating my pain. No one wants to have surgery but this procedure is quick and effective. After surgery I had immediate back relief. I continued to have some pain in my left leg but it slowly subsided. After 3 months I am virtually pain free. I know that without the surgery I would not have gotten this far. My family and I have referred several people to Dr. Liu and I know that they will be as happy with their results as I am.

Thank you Dr. Liu for taking away my pain.

Peggy Soto (New Jersey, USA)

Surgery / Procedure: Endoscopic Lumbar Laser Surgery

Before surgery I was on a lot of pain that would radiate down both of my legs. I was not able to sit for 20 minutes and was praying and searching for relief. I had endoscopic lumbar laser surgery by Dr. Liu on 10/5/2007. Dr. Liu is an outstanding, kind, and miracle worker. He has made me pain free and able to live a productive life again. Thank you so much.

Edward Ying (New Jersey, USA)

Surgery / Procedure: Endoscopic Laser Spine Surgery

I had lumbar disc herniation and a back surgery in 1974. Lately, my left leg was extremely numbed and painful. I could not walk for more than one block because of that. I must stop and find a place to sit down. I could not go anywhere for social activity in the last six months before the surgery.

On September 21, 2007 Dr. Liu did the laser spine surgery for me to enlarge the cannel that the nerve running out and removed the spine disc material that pinched my nerve. I was awake with a little sedation during the entire surgery. After surgery, I can walk one hour without numbness and feeling pain now. The surgery is very successful. Now I can drive to go very far away without problem. I do not have numbness and pain feeling anymore.

Thank very much, Dr. Liu. You help me get my life back.

Timothy Brown (New Jersey, USA)

Surgery / Procedure: Laser Assisted Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

I am 28 years old. I had severe pain in lower back that ran down to my left leg to foot. I could not stay in any position for more than 5 minutes at a time (sitting, standing, laying down). My pain was 10 on a scale of 1-10 for 3 weeks. I was operated by Dr. Liu with endoscopic laser discectomy. I feel 150% better now. No more pain instantly after the surgery. I was walking around that day. Some numbness in left leg is getting better each day after physical therapy. Thank you Dr. Liu. I recommend you to anyone who needs this surgery.

Shike Li (New Jersey)

Surgery / Procedure: Endoscopic Laser Spine Disc Herniation Surgery

I am 34 years old. I had endoscopic back surgery by Dr. Liu at Atlantic Spinal Care, in November 2006. I had back and leg pain for more than 5 years. It started after I had my child. The pain in my leg was so terrible that I could not do the things that I loved to do anymore. I tried physical therapy and I did back exercises, but my pain was getting worse day by day. My doctor sent me for MRI. I was told that I had a few disc herniations in my lumbar spine.

I am a medical doctor from China. I knew that I had no other choices other than surgery to relieve my pain. I knew the bad results of open spine surgery. I searched the Internet about more advanced laser surgery. I contacted a doctor in Florida whom I found from the Internet. I was ready to go to Florida to have laser surgery by him. Just before my trip, I found Dr. Liu in local news paper and realized he was doing same type of laser surgery in New Jersey. I made an appointment with him for a second opinion immediately. Dr. Liu reviewed all my history and MRIs. He was confident that he could help me. Dr. Liu was very nice and professional. I decided to cancel my Florida trip and asked him to do my surgery. He did discogram for me, a diagnostic test. He suggested me to have two levels of endoscopic discectomy. In November, 2006, on a Thursday morning, I had my surgery. You could not believe it. I walked home the same day without pain. I went to work on next Monday, only in 3 days. Now, six months after my surgery, I am so happy that I can do the things that I could not do for a few years.
