Patient Stories
They Were Home by Dinner™™
Real patient — 1 week after same-day spine surgery with Dr. Sharan
Real patient — walking around NYC 2 days after spine surgery
"I went into surgery at 8:30am and walked out of the hospital at 2pm. Incredible! Nobody can believe I was walking around the same day. I have dealt with back pain for 20 years and I wish I had found Dr. Sharan a long time ago."
"Dr. Sharan has the hands of an angel. The pain and numbness I was experiencing was so intense. He assured me he could help me and he absolutely did. I feel a thousand percent better. No pain. No numbness."
"Eight days after surgery, I cooked myself homemade black bean burgers — and I live by myself. I could dress myself less than a week after surgery. I’m in my early seventies! I can’t thank Dr. Sharan enough."

A Better Way to Heal
Why We Minimize Opioid Use
Opioids slow recovery, cloud your mind, and carry serious addiction risk. We’ve built a surgical protocol that spares the use of opioids - without sacrificing comfort.
Minimal Addiction Risk
Regional anesthesia through advanced nerve blocks keeps you comfortable while minimizing dependency risk.
Faster Mental Clarity
Wake up clear-headed. No opioid fog means you can think, communicate, and heal faster.
Faster Physical Recovery
Opioids may slow the recovery process. Using them sparingly allows for a faster recovery.
