Dr Antonacci saved my life. Back in 2003 after seeing many spine surgeons, neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons, every other doctor missed the main issues going on in my neck. Dr. Antonacci took his time evaluating each symptom and didn’t just settle for what everyone else thought was obvious. He ordered new MRIs and then other tests that confirmed his thought that I had a spinal cording just at c3-c4. I was young, 37, at the time and he looked at the technology that was coming down the line and departed my original surgery into two separate surgeries five years apart. Unfortunately I had a weird occurrence happen and developed a cyst under the bottom level of my fusion c3-c7 and I then needed a posterior surgery that went from c3-t2. Most recently I needed my lumbar and a second cervical posterior that I unfortunately had done by two other doctors that worked together. These surgeons, who were also top in their field, were not nearly as meticulous as Dr. Antonacci. I think about Dr. Antonacci often as I am blessed to have watched my three young boys grow into three wonderful productive men. Thank you Dr. Antonacci and know that you are in Ron, the boys and my heart!!!
