Dr. Ko was so confident he could resolve my nerve issue that had evaded everyone else for years that he made me believe it. Literally within days of surgery I could stand for hours, where prior to it if I stood more than 10 minutes my leg went numb followed by burning pain. I feel like I have my life back and so many opportunities in front of me now that I'm no longer restricted by this pain. Thank you Dr. Ko!
