Patient Reviews
Dec 09, 2025
Thank you Dr. Daniel Refai for removing the tumor from my spine. Before the tumor was removed I was having difficulty walking , lifting my right leg , going up one step, and very unstable. I had fallen 6-7 times ,and had needles in both feet for the past 3-4 years. After surgery and the tumor was removed I have no trouble walking, and jog with my dog. I have climed up a ladder to clean the leaves out of my gutter with no problem. I am so so so very Happy I can walk. I tell people if you can walk you should be a happy person.
