“Dr. Sean McCance and his staff helped me survive crippling acute sciatica, and he removed a lumbar cyst that was literally choking off some crucial spinal nerves. I was better immediately, began to have feeling again in the leg, and the sciatica disappeared. That was in 2012. Since then, I have had (unrelated) other serious spinal issues (former dancer, athlete and gymnast), and he has steadfastly worked with me to find alternatives to spinal fusion until such time as I really cannot avoid it. I recommend him highly.” ~ RateMDs
