Mark recounts his experience following spine surgery at HCA HealthONE Rose.

September 19, 2018

"I was one of the first patients to use the new (orthopedic and spine) wing at HCA HealthONE Rose when I was recovering from a three level cervical discectomy and vertebrae fusion a little over two years ago. Dr. Gary Ghiselli performed the surgery and had told me that I would need three days in recovery — which was a very accurate prediction. Those three days were not pleasant, but the staff did everything they could to make my recovery bearable, and I really appreciated their efforts."

"I am fully recovered from the operation now, and have regained almost total range of motion and flexibility in my neck. The pain and the other symptoms associated with my condition were eliminated, and I have resumed all of the activities that I had previously enjoyed. The result of the surgery exceeded my expectations, and I have only praise for both Dr. Ghiselli and the nursing staff at Rose. I highly recommend Rose for anyone needing a surgical procedure."
