Frederik A Pennings

I am a year late in writing this review, but not in the sentiment that goes behind it.
I had a giant herniated disc; «giant» being a clinical term for a lot and really really bad. After some time already spent in the hospital after my entire body just sort of locked up, I found myself confined to bed, a wheelchair, and, on a good day, a walker. I was also opened to risk for loss of all kinds of other functions which I won’t get into.
What I hear is often a 2 hour in and out sort of surgery, for me, was almost six hours with a three day observation stay after and it was successful. Although I am still building back muscle strength etc, my ability to walk increased tremendously overnight.
As a person faced with a potential reality of life in a wheelchair and a bag strapped to my leg, I can say I have a new appreciation for my mobility. Last Saturday I was out dancing — in heels.
Dr. Pennings, however, is more than a skilled surgeon. He is a charming human being. His bedside manner is comforting and reassuring and his staff and associates are also very knowledgable and capable.
I sincerely hope you never have the need for Dr. Pennings services, but, if you do, I couldn’t possibly recommend him more highly than I already do.
