Patient Reviews
May 02, 2025
I came to Dr Lami with lower back pain. He figured it out the pain was coming from the SI Joint. We tried PT and shots that maybe worked for a day or to. I found he is very conservative on “fixing the issue”. He explained everything in great detail and left me feeling good on the decision of fusion. Dr Lami and his staff are very attentive to helping you recover. If i had to do this again I would. ( hopefully i wont have to ) Thank you so much for helping me get back to a productive life.
