I had a L4-L5 S1 procedure by Dr. Haft. Before surgery my pain level was a constant 8-9. I walked bent at the waist and needed a cane. I am now 3 months out pain free. I'm able to walk erect for the first time in years.My friends can't believe how fast I recovered.

Haven't done follow ups, those will come after surgery but first initial visit was great and he made me feel the most comfortable out of other surgeons I've seen and I didn't feel rushed out of the room!

My mother Cheryl had a major Spinal Disc Fusion operation completed by Dr. Haft, she was in life changing pain before the surgery. 5 months later now Dr. Haft has changed her life completely. She is able to enjoy her life, and not be in constant pain. So when i found out 4 weeks ago that I myself had a Ruptured Disc in my L3-L4, I asked for Dr. Haft specifically to do my Microdisectomy. I couldn't be more happy, he was extremely fast, but not too fast where he didn't seem to care, but fast because he knew and cared about how much pain I was in. Bad backs run in our family, and I am so thankful that Dr. Haft has taken such great care of me and my mother in both of our major surgeries.
