Hear From Patients Who Chose CemLIF
Every story on this page comes from a real patient who was facing lumbar fusion and chose the CemLIF approach: a rodless, screwless fusion that skips the separate posterior incision traditionally needed to place screws and rods. In their own words, they describe what led them to Dr. Frenkel, what the procedure and recovery were like, and how they are doing today.
We share these stories because deciding on spine surgery is hard, and hearing directly from people who have been through it can help. Please keep in mind that every patient and every spine is different. These are individual experiences, not a promise of what your outcome will be, and whether CemLIF is right for you can only be determined through an evaluation of your imaging and history.
Below you will also find patient reviews collected through Google and recent news coverage of the procedure. If you would like to find out whether you may be a candidate, request a Free MRI Review. There is no cost and no obligation.
