I suffered with sciatica for a very long time. Dr. Schnetzer performed my microdiscectomy and I never felt any more sciatic pain after I woke up from surgery. I did have some nerve pain in my foot but he and Kayla Kell worked with me and that is now almost completely gone. 2 months out and I feel amazing. Excellent Dr and stafff.

I was nervous about having an epidural but he told me what was happening as he did it and that relaxed me. Also, the entire staff was pleasant and friendly.
