I was referred to Dr. Ghobriel by my personal physician in October 2013.  I had XRays and MRIs done which showed that I had spinal stenosis.  I was at first getting up in the morning using a walker to go to the bathroom and going to the kitchen to make breakfast ans take medication to numb the pain.  For the rest of the day I would either have to use a cane or was just lying around waiting to take more medication.

When I met Dr. Ghobriel during my first appointment on Nov. 18, she was very concerned and scheduled me for my first shot on Nov. 25.  The pain subsided for about a week and a half but then returned.  I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Ghobriel two weeks after the injection where I still needed to use my cane.  At that appointment she scheduled me for my scecond injection on Dec. 23.  That second shot was a blessing so far.  It has been three weeks with no pain and I no longer have to use my cane or walker.  I am very thankful for the outcome that has occurred thanks to Dr. Ghobriel.
