Dr. Brisson gave me my life back! I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me. My pain was so bad when I finally found him, I had almost given up on finding help. I had been to so many doctors who were misdiagnosing and just wanting to treat with "pain management" that I was dying from the drugs and the pain. Dr. Brisson took his time to explain exactly what needed to be done. I had a 3 level cervical fusion, decompression and reversal of spinal kyphosis. I am happy to report that I am now doing things that I never thought I would be able to do again. I have full use of my arms and hands and can move my head again. He is meticulous with his surgical hands and takes great pride in his work. He is a patient's doctor! He cares about making people well. That is his focus and his goal. His staff is just as caring and professional. Thank you to Agatha as well! She assisted with my surgery and guided me through this entire process!! I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

How is spinal stenosis diagnosed?
To diagnose spinal stenosis, Dr. Brisson will talk to you about your symptoms and your medical history. He will conduct a physical exam including neurology, arms, and legs. He may order lab tests including spinal imaging such as X-rays, CT scans or other tests.
Is surgical lumbar spine treatment always necessary?
Though he is a skilled spinal stenosis surgeon, Dr. Brisson always explores non-invasive treatment options first, before determining that a laminectomy surgery is needed.
