Summary
A physician from Canada had been suffering from back and leg pain for 15 years. A condition that had progressed to the point of near-wheelchair dependency, making travel through airports impossible without wheelchair assistance and leaving him facing the prospect of spending the rest of his life unable to walk freely. Three neurosurgeons had unanimously recommended spinal fusion as the only solution. After extensive research he discovered Dr. Deukmedjian, was thoroughly convinced after a warm Zoom consultation, and traveled to Deuk Spine Institute for the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at L3-4 and L4-5 on both sides. The morning after his procedure he was walking easily with no pain medication, describing the experience as a transformation and reclaiming a life he thought might be lost and was planning a trip to the zoo and the beach that very afternoon.

Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: I’m Dr. Deukmedjian and I’m here with a patient who came here yesterday with back pain and leg pain. And now he’s had the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at L3-4 and L4-5. And he’s going to tell us a little bit about how he’s doing. How do you feel today?
Patient: Today I feel fantastic. And I’m walking easily. I haven’t taken any pain meds this morning. And I’m just so happy about that. You know it’s really like being transformed. I was almost in a wheelchair before I found Dr. Deuk. Once I saw what this whole organization was about, I was absolutely convinced that was for me. I had had three opinions from neurosurgeons who said the only solution is spinal fusion. So I did a ton of research about the procedure, and luckily I found Dr. Deuk. And I was completely convinced after that was the way to go. And particularly with him, after meeting him. Experiencing the warmth from the first meeting on Zoom. So I’m just feeling wonderful today.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Well, thank you. And you would know you take care of patients yourself. You’re a physician in Canada.
Patient: Yes. I’m a physician in Canada. There’s no question that I will be recommending Dr. Deuk to anybody who is looking at back surgery. Show them your video.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Well, absolutely. So yesterday you had the Deuk Laser Disc Repair®. We fixed both sides L3-4 and L4-5. We made two tiny little cuts on your back seven millimeters each. And through the endoscope I was able to use the laser and clean out the tear, remove the herniation. So now your discs will heal naturally. And the surgery itself takes away the back pain from the disc. So do you still have the back pain you’ve had for 15 years?
Patient: 15 years. And you know, I was pretty much in a wheelchair before I came here. Traveling through airports, for example, was completely impossible unless I was in a wheelchair. After that you know I was looking at deciding whether to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. And that’s not a happy feeling. So, just I mean, that just shows how incredibly happy I am now after this surgery.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Well, that’s why we do it to improve people’s quality of life.
Patient: Yeah. I mean, I literally have my life back. And I can make all sorts of plans now that were impossible before. Congratulations.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: When do you head back to Canada?
Patient: On Friday. Love the town, love the people, love the staff here because it’s a whole team. And everybody was fantastic. Thank you so much.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Did you make it for a walk on the beach?
Patient: No. We’re first going to the zoo this afternoon. After that we will walk on the beach.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Fair enough. Fair enough. All right. Is there anything else you want to say to your fans out there or your patients?
Patient: That’s the thing I will any patient who’s been advised to have back surgery of any kind, you must consult Dr. Deuk first. Send your MRI. He will read it and advise you. And I have no doubt you will choose Dr. Deuk.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Thank you so much. Congratulations.
Patient: Thank you so much.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You’re welcome. You’re welcome. All right.
Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute
This patient a practicing physician from Canada. Underwent the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute for 15 years of chronic back and leg pain that had progressed to near-complete wheelchair dependency, with travel through airports requiring wheelchair assistance. Three separate neurosurgeons had unanimously recommended spinal fusion as the only available treatment a recommendation he refused after extensive independent research led him to Dr. Deukmedjian. Using a laser and endoscope through two seven-millimeter incisions, Dr. Deukmedjian cleaned the annular tears and removed herniations at both L3-4 and L4-5 on both sides. In a single outpatient procedure with no fusion, no hospitalization, and no narcotic pain medication required. Walking freely and pain-free the following morning, this physician declared that he would be recommending Dr. Deukmedjian to every patient of his facing back surgery, and advised anyone who has been told they need any form of back surgery to submit their MRI for a complimentary MRI review and virtual consultation with Dr. Deukmedjian at Deuk Spine Institute before proceeding.
