Dr. Ara Deukmedjian is one of the best neurosurgeons in the world with his cutting edge DLDR (Deuk Laser Disk Repair) and Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy. I travelled all the way to Melbourne Florida from Melbourne Australia to the Deuk Spine Institute because I couldn't find this technology in Australia. I didn't want a fusion with a metal cage in my neck, but a minimally invasive procedure. I had the following done to my neck and back between 29 August 2023 and 31 August 2023: Deuk Laser Disc Repair C5-C6, C6-C7; Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy C5-C6, C6-C7, C7-T1; RT L4-L5, L5-S1; BL SI Joints Dr Deuk and his team took care of me and carefully performed these procedures. The admin staff were also excellent. The operations were a success but I will have to wait at least 2 months since my neck muscles have become deconditioned after the procedures which have caused me some muscle spasms. Things will improve with time. Dr. Deuk is the man if you want a minimally invasive spine surgery which is safe. Alfred B
