Read MoreI consider my laser back surgery to be a 100% success thanks to Dr. James Chimenti. Earlier this year, I herniated a disk in my back while coughing (yes it happens!). The horrific pain subsided in about two weeks, after which time I noticed I wasn't walking properly. I was suffering from drop foot, which requires immediate surgical intervention by a neurosurgeon or the damage can be permanent, leaving me unable to walk normally again. Thank goodness I was referred to Dr. Chimenti by RWJ Somerset ER and by my own family doctor. I saw him on Friday for the first time, when he reviewed my MRI and he made the surgery appointment for Tuesday, just 4 days later. There was no time to lose. Surgery was done on an out-patient basis. The surgery took about 1 hour, I was at the facility for about 3-4 hours in total and I walked out unassisted! I had minimal pain in recovery, I followed the regiment of physical therapy suggested, and I now continue with pilates to keep my core strong. My back is pain free and my drop foot and my balance are about 90% improved and still improving. I can't say enough good about Dr. Chimenti's quick diagnosis, recommended treatment plan, and surgical skill. So many people with back problems suffer without considering surgery and others have surgery and still have problems afterwards. I consider myself blessed to have been treated by Dr. Chimenti. If you are suffering with nerve issues in your back, I highly recommend that you call him to see what you can do to relieve your problem. I'm so happy that I did. Thank you Dr. Chimenti.
