I'm not sure how to rate the surgeon's skill. He is well regarded which I way I wanted him to do it. But I have no frame of redeemable and won't know for sometime if the surgery achieved its objectives.

Met with 5 surgeons leading up to the decision for surgery. Dr. Girardi just really exuded confidence yet listened and understood. It was clear he was the right surgeon for us.

I was relieved to see Dr G before surgery and after before I was discharged (early - my roommate had been tough, and another one was on her way in - thought she and her family were much nicer). It just was a lot of necessary noise so I opted to get up and out to my sister's asap. Dr Girardi stopped by at 6:30pm - prob after his last surgery and it felt good to talk to him briefly vs. Get the news via my sister that things went well. He said I really needed the surgery and that meant a lot and then another huge boost was that he said my L4-L5 was in decent shape and I was so happy. He also said he repaired my nerve and that the more I walk, the more the tightness would go away (which I was feeling). I can now feel my left toe, my butt doesn't go numb and my left foot doesn't drop. I am sore but pain-med free and my doorman said day 5 post-op today that I am walking so much straighter and I was like I AM?? They've seen me at my lowest, so that, too, meant a lot, and I have Dr Girardi to thank.

Dr. Girardi was confident and informative. He completely explained the one question I was most concerned about, making a point to address the question and then come back to assure me.
