"I started out with less invasive approaches for a year, trying to get relief from my chronic leg pain. With only minor relief and losing the ability to do many of the things I truly enjoyed, my surgery was scheduled. Dr. Gebauer performed my back surgery with the assistance of the Mazor X™ robotic system. Three hours after coming out of surgery, I was walking! For the first time in almost 18 months, with tears in my eyes, I walked pain free. I am grateful to Fawcett Hospital and Dr. Gebauer for a life changing surgery. In less than six months, I resumed fishing, cooking, and enjoying my family."
