We spoke to Tony Urbina two months ago and he told us how happy he has been since having Dr. Haronian as his doctor. Two months later he had his surgery and is doing much better.
We will speak to him again as he undergoes recovery.

Spinal fusion, also called spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a neurosurgical or orthopedic surgical technique that joins two or more vertebrae. Surgeons use supplementary bone tissue—either from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft)—or artificial bone substitutes in conjunction with the body's natural bone growth (osteoblastic) processes to fuse two or more adjoining vertebrae.
Spinal fusion treats a variety of pathological conditions to eliminate abnormal motion of the vertebrae that causes pain, neurological deficit, or spinal deformity. Common conditions incorporating spinal fusion in their surgical treatment are spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, cervical discopathy, spinal fractures, scoliosis, and kyphosis.
