As a 35 year old woman with Parkinson's disease, I have met more than my fair share of doctors. I can say with confidence he was among the finest. I had a laminectomy a little over a week ago. The staples are still in my back, and without any pain medication I am feeling a billion times better thanks to this gentleman. I'm actually looking forward to seeing him again so I can personally thank him. I was in very serious condition and the emergency was done the morning following my lovely trip to Jefferson's ER. I could not walk without pain shooting down my leg. So severe I just couldn't walk. Everythibg was explained. He was reassuring and confident he could fix it, and he did. God bless him.

I sought out dr Altschuler for ACDR utilizing the Mobi-C artificial disc. I could not be happier with my early results.

I feel fortunate to have selected Dr. Altschuler to partner in my care. I chose him over several other surgeons to perform ACDR with the Mobi-C artificial disc.

I recently selected Dr Altschuler after meeting with 3 other spine surgeons for a herniated c6/c7 disc causing pain and numbness in my right arm. He is extremely thoughtful and approachable and has significant experience with the Mobi-C artificial disc. I am extremely fortunate to have found this practice. If you are interested to learn more about my injury and decision to pursue ACDR, I posted a series of videos on YouTube under the title: My Mobi-C cervical disc replacement journey.
