I had a three level surgery in 2012 be cause of non fusion onjan 2014 all hardware war removed and replaced using cadaver bone. Fusion took place but still had pain I' had a spinal stimulator put in 2015. This has helped a great deal. I suffer numbness on my right side and intense paid where the battery is located and still have pain while standing and walking Pain level has gone from a 9 to about a 4. Pain medication and the stimulator has improved my daily life.

I had an arthroscopic knee surgery and 2 cervical fusion surgeries b Dr Mulvania in the late 1980's. He was kind, campassionate and the outcome of those surgeries was great! I have had no further problems esp. w/ the cervical fusion (C2-C4 & C5-C6). There's barely even a scar from these 2 surgeries. I wish there was some way I could have had both of my rotator cuff surgeries by him, but I live in OK now. I know that if he had performed them, I would not be in the world of hurt I am in now. He is the best doctor I have ever had!

He is top notch in my book. He was highly recommended to me & I would highly recommend him to everyone in need of an Orthopedic surgeon. He has had top reviews & is always very pleasant & answers all my questions as does his staff. He is most friendly & seems & appears more knowledgable then other drs. in his field. Keep up the gopod work & may you be blessed w/many more patients. I hope someday you will have answers for me. Keep smiling & shaking your patients hands, makes us feel better knowing you are their for us & at least helping those you can help. You deserve a trillion stars in my book.

Dr. Mulvania is a caring physician who is an expert in his field. I could not function today if it were not for his expertise and surgery on my spine. Medications were not helping and he probably saved my life!!!
