After many years of back pain due to arthritis and normal wear and tear through out the years, and trying any and all treatments available to deal with constant pain, my orthopedic surgeon , Dr. Mark Stephen, suggested to see Dr. Marco Palmieri. After reviewing my MRI and x-rays , Dr. Palmieri took the time to listen to me and come up with a plan to pinpoint exactly what was causing the pain that has limited my activity for many years now. Dr. Palmieri was clear , concise , and honest explaining what treatment would give me the most relief. After a successful Lumbar Nerve Ablation , performed by Dr. Palmieri in September , I am back at the gym , enjoying the fall hiking season and , most importantly , sleeping well ! I cannot thank Dr. Palmieri and his , amazing, staff enough!
