Dr. Orisek is an amazingly skilled Orthopedic surgeon. He did a minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery on my back on 12/29/23. He performs this type of surgery at least weekly. On the day of surgery I was barely able to walk into the hospital and needed the assistance of a wheelchair. That night after surgery, I was able to get up to use the bathroom and the pain I had been experiencing for the last 8+ months was completely gone, I didn't need any assistance or a walker and I only had to stay in the hospital overnight. The pain I experienced was nerve pain which can be pretty painful but i only needed to be on pain medication for two weeks after my surgery. It has been three months since my surgery and I'm able to do about just about anything except twisting at my waist. The only discomfort I have if you want to call it that is tightness around the area he did the surgery when I bend over to reach something on the floor. I was even out weeding in my garden this weekend. I have two incisions on either side of my spine and they're only 2 inches long and have healed very nicely. He his office staff are great and totally professional. He has a nice sense of humor which makes him easy to talk. His colleagues do not do the same type of surgery (minimally invasive) that he does and the recovery takes soooo much longer and carries much more pain not to mention the increased risk of infection. It would be nice if more orthopedic surgeons in this area would do minimally invasive surgeries on their patients. It's much safer and better for patients than totally opening the back up to get to the spine. I would recommend Dr. Orisek without reservation. So if you need spinal fusion surgery, schedule a second opinion with Dr. Orisek so he can assess your particular situation and give you his recommendation for such a repair. You'll be glad you did.

Dr. Orisek is an excellent surgeon. He removed a disk in my lumbar spine, straightened my spine, which had slipped forward, and fused the vertibrae together. Dr. Orisek said I would be at least 80 percent better, but I feel at least 95 percent better! I would highly recommend him.His office staff and assistant, Phillip Lanum, are very helpful.
