I have been suffering with back pain for many years, but within the last five years my pain had become much worse. I had several bouts of really horrible sciatica pain. Thought the cause was due to me being over weight. I found out recently that I had a bulging disk. Saw a pain management doctor and decided to have an injection for a particularly painful back ache. Missed two weeks of work and got a referral to see Dr. Marius Maxwell at Arctic Spine. My pain was really bad. He took one look at my MRI and told me I had Lumbar spinal stenosis. Had my surgery seven weeks ago. He took excellent care of me. I saw him every week until my incision fully healed. I received extraordinary care from Dr. Maxwell and his staff. Back surgery is a very scary thing. I'm so gratefull to have found Dr. Maxwell. He made a hard decission easy. Thank you so much! Rana Wilson 2/9/2015
