Patient Reviews
Sep 30, 2025
I had two previous spinal surgeries and felt awful after both. It was by chance that I ended up at St. Claire’s in Dover. Dr. Assina was consulted for my back pain. He took over 30 minutes to speak with me and show me what was wrong. Within one week I was in the operating room As soon as I opened my eyes in the recovery room, the horrible pain Inhad been dealing with for 2.5 years was GONE! I cried in the recovery room. Within a few days, the feeling returned in my foot and I felt like I was back to my old self. Thank you Dr. Assina for giving me my life back. I feel whole again. May God bless you and your skilled hands always. My husband and I are planning a trip to celebrate!
