I had to wait 18 days due to circumstances to get my initial surgery and then two weeks later I had to go back to get a surgical infection cleared out via another surgery. While I was quite unhappy initially, Dr. Vitolo did a great job handling the situation and taking my condition very seriously. There is always a risk with these kinds of things and he made sure that the proper steps were taken for my well being. In the end, I made a full recovery and am very grateful for that!

Other doctors wouldn't help me. They said I couldn't have an MRI because I responded well to physical theropy, but there was no way to get better without the surgery.
