I had my TLIF surgery on 6/24/2020 by Dr. Corenman, I can not say enough good things about the Dr or his staff. I was always treated with respect and explained everything throughly, that made it easy for everyone to understand. I highly recommend Dr. Corenman and the Steadman Clinic.
This website is the stand out source for me. The explanation and descriptions are easy to follow and so helpful in understanding the a variety of conditions covered.
Thank you Dr Corenmen for providing such a valuable directory of information.
i was so confused and lost about which procedure i should treat my back pain with.
Dr.Corenman is just so kind to make time from his schedule to help me :')!!
he read all of my issue and details and his replies really helped me in deciding
i am now confident about my decision and i now totally understand the procedure thanks to the in-depth information provided
thank you ever so much !
This review is long over do! Dr. Coreman pretty much save my life. I had an accident in 1997 with a horse; I fractured my pelvis and had other injuries. After recovery, I had back pain 24 hours a day and couldn't even stand on my feet for more than 10 minutes. Other doctors kept saying that my bones had healed and I just had residual pain and to accept it. IN 2003, I felt I couldn't take the pain anymore and needed to find a solution. I was referred to Dr. Coreman and I made an appointment. Walking through the hallways of his clinic, I realized he treated very famous athletes and expected him to be arrogant (like some doctors) I was pleasantly surprised, he was not just a nice guy, he took the time to listen and he truly cared. I still remember what he said to me once he saw my MRI "My dear child, you must be in such pain." I started to cry, finally someone that understood my pain and cared enough to do something about it. Dear Dr. Corenman, you saved my life! after all these years, I still remember your kindness and empathy. Thank you!
Dr.Corenman is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him to friends and family.
He treated me with the upmost courtesy and compassion.
I i am 6 days post-op an L5-S1 microdiscectomy and having buttock pains and cramps. Your reply to someone with similar issues has provided a lot of peace of mind for me!! I have been worried i was reherniating. Thank you for you explanation of nerve recovery!!
I recently had Dr. Corenman perform lumbar back fusion surgery on me. I am now entering my sixth month post op. Results to date have been spectacular. After living with constant lower back pain for 3+ years, the procedure results to date have met all my expectations. His diagnosis was spot on, surgery went well and I can attest that I am now 100% pain free. Recovery has progressed exactly as explained with Dr, Corenman and his entire team delivering excellent care and follow up from day 1. My thanks and appreciation go out to Dr. Corenman, his staff and all the folks at Steadman ….very professional !
