Spine Surgery Allows Woman to Dance Again

Spine surgery allows woman to dance again. In this patient testimonial, Cheryl, a patient of
Daniel S. Husted, MD, FAAOS, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon at South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, shares her story of how Dr. Husted helped her reclaim her quality of life and get back on the dance floor.

“I was lucky enough to have surgery with Dr. Husted,” says Cheryl. “My biggest benefit from the surgery is that I have my life back now. I can walk, and I'm working out again. I can laugh, drive a car, and I can dance. Dancing is one of my most favorite things of all.”

“I fell down on October 23rd. I fell six, seven, eight steps, from the second floor. And my husband took me to the emergency room, and the doctors there said to follow up with Dr. Blum and Dr. Husted. So we immediately got an appointment at South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine. And Dr. Husted said to me, ‘Cheryl, you're dancing around, you don't have a week left with this spine.’ So I made the appointment for surgery that day.”

“Dr. Husted is phenomenal, just phenomenal. He really cares. This whole place (South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine) is phenomenal, unbelievable. Dr. Husted's nurse is unbelievable. Every time I called her if I needed prescriptions, or if I needed this or that, or if I needed to talk to him, she was right on it. Not like, ‘we'll call you back in 48 hours.’”

“And where I live, people saw me when I first got here, and they look at me now, and they cannot believe that I am the same person. It was a blessing, this whole trip of mine, coming here, staying here, falling down the steps, led me to Dr. Husted. And I have nothing but the utmost, greatest things to say about him.”
