These testimonials are from patients that underwent Deuk Laser Disc Repair™ for herniated or bulging spinal discs. All of the surgeries were performed outpatient in our state-of-the-art surgery center without hospitalization. Almost all of these patients would have undergone a fusion surgery if the laser disc repair was not available to them. Fusion surgery requires metal implants, loss of spinal motion, large skin or muscle incisions, months of recovery and powerful painkillers during healing. In sharp contrast, most of the patients undergoing Deuk Laser Disc Repair™ go home 60 minutes after surgery, take minimal or no post-operative painkillers, return to work as soon as the next day after surgery, have 90% resolution of pain, numbness and tingling immediately after surgery and no spinal implants or cadaver bone is used. This is only possible because of the revolutionary new laser procedure Dr. Deukmedjian developed, offered exclusively at Deuk Spine Institute, appropriately called Deuk Laser Disc Repair™. Read more about how Deuk Laser Disc Repair™ is superior to other types of "laser spine surgery" where drilling holes in the spine leads to spinal instability and fusions.

About Deuk Laser Disc Repair™
As a pioneering development of minimally invasive laser spine surgery, Deuk Laser Disc Repair™ is truly revolutionary. Back or neck pain is many times caused by a disc herniation or disc bulge, which is a fragment of a spinal disc. To get to this herniated fragment and relieve pain, traditional open back surgeries destroy otherwise healthy tissue — and even healthy parts of the spine — just to get to the disc fragment. With Deuk Laser Disc Repair™, this damage to the adjacent healthy spine is no longer necessary.
As an outpatient, state-of-the-art endoscopic back or neck surgery, Deuk Laser Disc Repair™ requires a small incision less than the width of a dime, and does not destroy healthy parts of the spine. Instead, patients resolve back and neck pain on an outpatient basis with surgery that usually takes about 30 minutes per disc. With minimally invasive, endoscopic laser back or neck surgery, there's no need for spinal fusion, metal screws, plates, rods, cages, or any of the other accoutrements of traditional spine surgery. Instead, our advanced laser surgery has substantial benefits of not only being more effective over the long-term, but also far more convenient over the short-term. Our patients can anticipate a return to driving, shopping, and most daily activities, only a day after surgery, and a return to work in three days or less.
