Hello, my name is Kimberly Kearns and I had transforaminal injections at L4 to help intense chronic left leg sciatica pain. I have had 5 major spinal surgeries thus far. In addition, i have had over 10 sets of injections with little to no relief due to severity of my low back. Everything changed when i met Dr.Jeffrey Jaffe at SEPA. He was one of the first doctors who studied my complex case PRIOR to my appointment and not once did he look at me asking, "why are you here?" I immediately had no fear with the incredibly caring, straighforward, genuine & in the way he explained & taught me exactly what he was going to do mannerism of Dr. Jaffe. I should preface, after last round of shots, I told my boyfriend and Mom I'm never doing shots again. Dr. Jaffe changed everything...he is so approachable and kind.

Today I did great with anesthesia. I was greeted by a wonderful front desk employee also named Kim. Very professional, kind & caring. She processed me in a very timely fashion. The OR team were exceptional. The post op team of nurses were above par...caring, kind and reassuring me I was all done in the OR...just made me feel so relieved. I could also tell that they worked very well together while maintaining excellent care to not just myself but each patient around me! I was given ice cold ginger ale and shortbread cookies as a snack then was released to my beautiful Mom & boyfriend...not such a bad experience at all! Dr. Jaffe, I thank you to the moon & back & to your skilled staff...yipeeee! I had lost all hope in injections and today you changed that! I've been through a lot...that's why this is lengthy but if it even helps 1 person, it was worth writing! Thanks Abington Surgi Center!!! Thanks again, Kimberly Kearns, B.A. B.S.
