Neema Patel, NP- Dear Neema-Thank you for all your good care! I've just come off of a six day trek in the Nepal Himalayas and I know I couldn't have done it without you, your nurse, and the PT staff.

I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in September 2007. The results have been better than I expected. The goal was to relieve my pain by 50%. I had lower back, hip and leg pain.
