Dr. Esses changed my life in 2016. I had a spinal fusion and decompression. I had been in severe pain which eventually made opioids and conservative treatments no longer helpful. I also was wheelchair bound. No surgeon wanted Show moreto take my case and in a last ditch effort I decided to try one more time. Dr. Esses took my case with confidence. I had the surgery and immediately regained feeling and movement in my legs. My pain was drastically cut and for the first time in over 4 years I was comfortable and happy. He gave me my life back. I had to see him again in 2018 because a CT scan revealed my screws were loose and causing me a tremendous amount of pain. This was a risk and complication I knew was a possibility. My pedicle screws failed so I needed hardware removal. I had no reservations about Dr. Esses going back in. My wife and I were more then confident that I would come out and have great results. Dr. Esses is an amazing surgeon. I'm 20 days post op and already I feel amazing! I recommend anyone suffering with back pain go and see him. He changed my life and my wife and I are forever grateful!

Drew R. • September 12, 2018

During my second visit on 8/15/19 Dr. Budoff reviewed my CT scan which indicated 35% bone loss in the PIP joint & osteoarthritis. He suggested two surgical options for the correction of traumatic Swan neck deformity - #1. Joint Show morereplacement #2. Fusion. He then injected steroids in the IP and PIP joints to reduce pain & swelling. While injecting steroids he discovered my little right finger had significant scar tissue in the PIP joint then explained surgical complications caused by scar tissue. Upon my third visit on 9/12/19 - my PIP joint had collapsed, the Swan neck deformity went from 29% to 32% with zero movement, thus he could no longer perform the joint replacement. Dr. Budoff gave me a compassionate explanation why only a fusion is possible. He is understanding, supportive and kind knowing I fractured my finger in multiple places on 2/11/19. He is sympathetic and wants to perform the best surgical repair. Dr. Budoff knows the pain I’ve endured with pinning stabilization surgery, difficult pin removal & closed contracture release by another Hand Surgeon 7 months ago. Though he can’t return movement to my finger I understand why.
