Dr. Joseph D. Stern, MD - Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates

Dr Stern has been an answer to prayer. I was unable to drive or be without pain since January 2016. The pain began in October 2015. It became so bad I could barely walk at all. Due to a ruptured disc and scoliosis I was bent over . After two surgeries, I now am 5 inches taller and, praise God, free from pain. I thank God for leading me to Dr. Stern!,.

Ruptured disc lower back. Pain in front of thigh and lower back. Pain completely relieved by surgery.

Dr. Stern did disc replacement surgery in 2005. Ruptured disc occurred 2016, had immediate MRI and surgery, went very well. We could not ask for better doctors and staff.

It has been a great experience. Dr. Stern did a great job from start to finish. When I came to him I had significant problems with weakness and pain in my right hand and arm. After surgery my symptoms have improved dramatically. Throughout the process Dr. Stern took time with me to answer my questions and alleviate my fears. I highly recommend Dr. Stern.

Excellent identified problem on first visit. Operated the next week to repair L-4 L5 issues. My pain had gotten to a point where not only I had a lack of sleep, but it had also destroyed my spirit. The surgery and post op. care given by Dr. Stern and Nurse Brian Poteat saved me, and I recommend anyone having these issues consult them before giving up. Glen Epperson.
