• 03.10.2021Legand ! Words are hard to find . Cameron genuinely cares about the outcome of your operation . I had an L3/4 L4/5
hemilactimony 12 days ago and my life has changed already . I still have pain ,but its healing pain & I,m loving it .

to walk with a walker ,I feel happy & positive for the future . I dont know the end result yet as its early days , but I,m one happy woman . I am 65 yo & already feel 10 years younger . This surgeon is a Legend in my eyes !thank you so much Cameron Downes .
