Lazar Daniel MD

Dr. Lazar is awesome! After my my surgery I was up and around that evening and feeling so much better. When I started having complications a few weeks later he was very quick on getting tests to see what was going on or if there was infection. When everything came back normal he was very honest with me on saying he had no idea what was happening. Also explaining where to go from there. What he thought would be in my best interest. It ended up not being related to the surgery, but Dr Lazar was very caring and did a lot to ease my concerns. :-)

I cannot believe no one has written a review for Dr Lazar yet so let me have the honor of writing the first one.
I was referred to Dr Lazar by Dr Michael Y Lee for neck surgery. I had such terrible pain issues I was sure the rest of my life would be shorter and more miserable from pain that caused my to take very strong pain meds just to sleep, made me hurt constantly and forced me to be mainly left handed due to all of the pain in my right arm mostly at the elbow and wrist.
The surgery was specifically Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion (ACDF) with the fusion being the 6^th and 7^th vertebrae in my neck. the compressed disc was replaced with bone and titanium brace used to hold the two vertebrae together. I had the additional issue of what were apparently nasty bone spurs sticking me in the spinal cord and restricting the movement in my right arm since they had a grip on the nerve that runs into my right arm from the spinal cord.
When I first regained consciousness in the recovery room, I immediately felt like I had a new right arm. Seriously it was astounding the improvement I had the moment I was awake. I moved my arm all around without any pain (though I was not supposed to be doing that right after surgery) and could even place my arm on top of my head, something I had not been able to do prior to surgery.
By 9 PM the same night (surgery started in the AM and took longer than normal, I was like one of the last ones to leave the recovery room) I no longer felt the need to take any pain pills. I was just fed up with taking the darn things and though the nurses thought I should still take them for the time being, I felt just did not need them. When they finally completely wore off, I still did not have enough pain to necessitate taking any more pain pills and I have not taken any since! OK, I still have some issues in my lower back and left knee, but now even those things bothered me less.
I was just astounded by the change in my life. To be able to sleep again without tossing around in pain or swallowing narcotic pain meds all the time, not having to wear a wrist brace at work and when I sleep at night to immobilize it and not having to wear my right arm in a sling just to keep my elbow from burning with pain. It is beyond belief!
And I have Dr Daniel Lazar to thank for this! Both him and Dr Lee said I may be some of the best results they have ever seen so not everyone can expect the same results I got. But I am so happy with the results I cannot say enough good things about Dr Lazar. The man saved my life! Thank you so very much! Gee, do you think I can recommend him? Um, YEAH!
