Real Patients, Real Transformations

Vanessa
3-Level Anterior Cervical Fusion

Vanessa had years of neck pain leaving her unable to even do her daily work. But with Dr. Wascher’s quick and timely intervention that included multiple viewings of MRIs, muscle and nerve tests, followed by a 3-Level Anterior Cervical Fusion, she is now happy without any neck issues. “I can happily say that by following the recommendations of Dr. Wascher, I am now pain-free,” says Vanessa as she talks about how great Dr. Wascher and his team were to work with.

Nanette
Posterior Laminectomy With Fusion

When Nanette experienced deep pain in her shoulder, she got tests performed, only to discover that she, in fact, had issues with her neck instead. After a few MRIs and scans, she contacted Dr. Wascher, who told her that she has bone spurs going into the spinal cord. Within a span of 3 weeks, she was able to go through surgery and get on the road to recovery. “I cannot say enough about Dr. Wascher’s expertise and empathy”, says Nanette as she joins an ever-growing community of people who, through Dr. Wascher and his team, have found happiness again.

Conditions We Treat

Our Approach To Spinal Care

Dr. Wascher's treatment philosophy begins with a conservative-first approach, thoroughly exploring all non-surgical options, including physical therapy, medications, and targeted injections, before considering surgery. Your well-being comes first, not surgical volume.

When surgical intervention is necessary, he employs the most advanced microsurgical techniques, resulting in smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery. Most patients return home the same day or after an overnight stay.

What truly sets Dr. Wascher apart is his commitment to personalized, family-centered care. Dr. Wascher personally performs every surgery from start to finish, no residents, no fellows, no assistants operating on your spine. With over 4,500 cervical spine procedures completed throughout his 35+ year career, he brings unmatched expertise combined with the compassion and attention your health deserves.
