Andrew Sama Md Pc

Dr Sama operated on me in 2018 , laminectomy, stenosis in lumbar spine . I have had back issues for decades and had other surgeries in that time.Seven years later I’m active , in good health and free of back pain except for some issues with arthritis. Dr Sama is a great surgeon and someone that listens to your issues . I recommend him without reservation.

i am a 61 year old woman. On 9/28/2023 i had multi level spinal fusion surgery at HSS. Dr.Andrew Sama is my Surgeon. I am a happy, successful and active person. When i reflect back on significant life events, they've all involved a great mentor, coach and the strength of an excellent team, After the age of 50, I completed 2 full distance Ironman races, many marathons and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Training for an endurance sport is not without pain. Winning the race, achieving my goal was worth months of dedication and the suffering that went with it. Finally the pain won and I lost. Each step i took was excruciating. When I met Dr.Sama, i knew immediately, i had the best surgeon and my new coach. My spinal surgery was my next Mountain to climb and race to win. We reviewed my MRI, we discussed the goal. Dr.Sama designed the strategy. together we agreed to "go for it". Dr. Sama's standard of excellence and that of his team, gave me my life back. I am a few weeks post surgery and I am pain free. this is also an endurance event that i know i will win. I want to extend my gratitude to Dr. Sama my surgeon, his team and everyone at HSS that went on this journey with me. Thank you. Jacqueline Wolfson
