What Patients are Saying About Dr. Roger Härtl, MD

I had been in daily back pain for over three years and thought I would never have relief. I couldn't even sneeze without screaming. I researched the different options for my back surgery and discussed them with my doctor. In researching the best surgeons in New York, I found Dr. Roger Härtl. From my first visit, he made me feel safe and hopeful and I wasn't disappointed. I recovered quickly from the fusion, with 75% of my back pain gone by the time I left the hospital a couple of days after the surgery. The remaining 25% left over the following three weeks. Today I am pain free, able to exercise again, and my quality of life is back. Each day I celebrate my decision of going to Dr. Härtl and putting my back in his genius hands.
