The DISCSEEL® Procedure – Patient Succcess Stories
These are all complex spine cases from around the world, who’ve failed to benefit from multiple procedures and even multiple surgeries done elsewhere.
They found relief with the DISCSEEL Procedure.

After being told his only cure was spinal fusion surgery, Jim searched for an alternative and found the DISCSEEL Procedure. He is now back to his active lifestyle and has been pain free since his procedure.
When Erica began developing spine pain, she felt that the activities she loved were taken away from her. Erica now says that the DISCSEEL Procedure has “100% turned her life around” and allowed her to get back to the things she loves, like running.
Charlie had always led an active lifestyle, but when he began experiencing back pain, he became hesitant to continue being active. Eventually, his back pain even made everyday tasks difficult.

When back pain stopped Jenny from spending quality time with her grandchildren, traveling, and even doing simple things like sitting down, she knew she needed to get help. After failing to get relief from spinal fusion surgery, friends recommended the DISCSEEL Procedure. Now Jenny has her life back and lives without pain!
30 years ago I injured my back with two herniated discs pressing on my spinal cord that turned into degenerative discs in all my lumbar disks. I even had two vertebrae that naturally fused together because one disc was totally degenerated and I wouldn’t give into the surgery. Doctors told me surgery was my only option. I spent 20 years looking for an alternative without surgery. I was in a lot of pain and at the point where I couldn’t work anymore. Found you on the internet 10 years ago and you had been offering disk seal for 2 years prior. I went against what everybody was saying and went for it because it made sense. I am now 10 years pain-free and continued my career as a successful chef thanks to your vision and efforts to heal people with the disc seal procedure. I’ll send you some picks of where I live and the area when I get a chance. Thanks Kevin.

We made it for 7 nights on the Harmony of the seas, Royal Caribbean ship. We had a blast and I could not make this trip previously. Thanks to DISCSEEL I could do it! Happy Holidays!!
Jim & Tammy H.
I had the lumbar DISCSEEL Procedure on August 25th, each disc L1 down to S1. My pain level had dropped from around a 9 on the day of the procedure to ZERO! After all these years of nerve ablations, injections, and spine stimulators, the doctors were just treating the symptoms and NOT the cause of the issues. It will be three weeks this Friday since the procedure and I’m doing great, being careful. My wife and I are both having trouble making me not over do things and take it slow and steady! Even people at church have noticed that I have a spring back in my step and a relief of pain in my face! I can not say thank you to Dr. Pauza enough! I just wish we had met about ten years earlier.

"A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Kevin Pauza and the DISCSEEL Procedure” About 45 days ago, I was in such severe pain that I couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone walk. After a hospital visit and numerous tests, it was confirmed that I had a herniated disc. With my responsibilities and obligations, I knew I couldn’t afford to live with this pain for years like some people I know, who have been suffering for 3 to 10 years. This condition impacts every aspect of life, making it impossible to function normally. During my research to find an immediate solution, I came across Dr. Kevin Pauza and his DISCSEEL® Procedure. Learning how he addresses this biological issue with a biological solution convinced me right away. I quickly sent all the required documents for him to evaluate my case, and within three weeks, I had my procedure on October 2, 2024. The entire experience, from my first contact with his office to the procedure itself, was outstanding. His staff was professional and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. Now, just 12 days later, my pain has improved daily. While the first few days post-procedure can be uncomfortable, I highly recommend staying active and taking brisk walks to aid recovery. For anyone considering the DISCSEEL Procedure, I also recommend getting exosomes as part of the treatment for enhanced results.

I cannot even begin to say how thankful I am for finding Dr. Pauza! We live in Canada, and if I had to wait to get by back fixed here, I would have been in excruciating pain for a very long time. I had tears in the L5 S1 and the fluid was leaking onto the sciatic nerve root, which was causing me pain like I had never felt in my life. 3 days after my procedure with Dr. Pauza, the pain down my leg was almost gone...THREE DAYS!!!! As of today, I am 2 weeks since my procedure, and it is night and day. While I know the recovery is most important for the first 3-5 months, with full recovery within 12 months, I am mindful to not do anything that will compromise my results. It was worth the money...without health, wealth is nothing. Dr. Pauza was informative and answered any and all questions. He is genuine and sincere in that he wants to be able to provide an alternative option to people who have back issues, without having to have the extremely invasive back surgeries. His staff was lovely, and communication was great. The staff at the medical facility where the procedure was done were so lovely as well. I cannot recommend them enough...like seriously...you won't regret it!
Dianne W
Dr. Pauza is the best, he is 100% professional. He knows what he is doing and gives you the best results. I am so happy that I get to know him as well as get the DISCSEEL Procedure.

Kevin’s Team runs flawlessly. Dr. Pauza has helped 5 of my friends who now are living their best life. I had a lot of cervical issues that made my life difficult for about 15 years. To be honest I was nervous as I had never had a procedure or an operation and I’m 51. Dr. Pauza explained what his plan was to repair my neck to new-like condition. Everything was on time and exactly as promised. It is the most amazing thing to wake up with no pain and able to go recover for a night locally in Dallas. The next day we walked 1.5 miles to dinner and back. It’s been 7 days and I am following his instructions to a T. If anyone is thinking of this procedure quit thinking and get it done. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you to the Staff for making this easy coming from out of town. Thank you Doctor Pauza for giving me my life back to enjoy it pain-free.
Christopher R
I have high hopes for relief of pain I have lived with for approximately 8 years. Dr Pauza could not have been more knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. The procedure was performed very professionally. I had a lot of pain the first day, then no pain the second day. Here I am on the 5th day and am still in pain as before but I have been told that is to be expected. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Dr. Kevin Pauza is the most dedicated, caring professional that I have met. He took his time to explain the DISCSEEL Procedure to me, was honest and concerned about the cost, and let it be my decision as to how I wanted to proceed. On the day of the procedure, he came to me in the prep room and explained what he was going to do and also came to me in recovery to let me know that everything went well and what was accomplished. I was under general anesthesia so felt nothing. Although I had some post-surgical pain in the recovery room, by the time I got back to my hotel, I was pain-free. I have some pain now on and off but nothing that wasn't bearable. I never even had to take any of the pain meds that were prescribed. I would recommend Dr. Pauza to anyone with disc problems because I feel he is the most experienced in the field. He invented this procedure 15 years ago and has given a great gift to humanity by his inventive genius.
Marie P
Dr. Pauza performed my DISCSEEL Procedure 2 weeks ago on 4 discs. At my consult, He explained what was causing my pain and how the procedure works. After my procedure, he wrote me a note explaining what he found during the Annulargram pre-procedure and what he treated. On the note, he also included his personal cell phone if I needed anything after my procedure. In recovery, I had severe spasms and he came to my bedside to help. After a few days at home, I was still having pain. I reached out to Dr. Pauza and he quickly responded and helped me to manage my pain. Dr. Pauza truly cares about his patients and wants them to be able to return to a quality of life without surgery.
Dana P
Excellent experience. Definitely recommended for anyone struggling with painful disc annular fissures. Only 12 days after the procedure I am feeling a lot better. And Dr. Pauza definitely gave me as a patient all the time I needed to feel confident before and to have a fast recovery after the fibrin injections.
Carlos
The whole staff truly treated me like family from the beginning when we set the appointment up through the procedure, Dr. Pauza as some of the best bedside manners I have ever encountered.
Brad F
Dr. Pauza
Another pain free day today every day is more amazing than the next. I’m still in shock over my shoulder. Years I couldn’t sleep or put pressure on it. Amazing those nano guts you put in there.?
Chris P.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
You did my DISCSEEL Procedure 2 weeks ago today. I am doing so good that words cannot begin to express the gratitude I have. When taking meloxicam I have absolutely zero pain. It is absolutely incredible. I have been this good since day 2 post procedure. The hardest part for me is behaving myself since I feel so dam good!
Mike H.
I have zero nerve pain in my leg, my lower back feels pretty good and I’m able to sleep through the night. I can tell this procedure was my ticket back to life. Thank you so much for thinking outside of the box and making this procedure available to people. Words cannot express!
Christine M.
From the Doctor to the staff they are very professional and thorough. Dr. Pauza explains the procedure and what to expect. He answers any questions you might have and puts you at ease. I personally have had the procedure twice and it has changed my life for the better. I use to wear a back brace due to ruptured lower discs. After the DISCSEEL Procedure, within three months I was no longer wearing a back brace. I also had ruptured discs in my neck making sleeping difficult. Again after the procedure I have less neck pain and am sleeping better. If you want your life back I highly recommend Dr. Pauza for his professionalism and skill and the DISCSEEL Procedure.
D.K.
2 years later & still pain-free the DISCSEEL Procedure was truly my miracle!!
S.P.
All I can say is DON'T WAIT until you have a few empty disc spaces like I did. His procedure is Miraculous! Completely Grateful.
Cynthia R.
Couldn’t have asked for a better team to care for me. Communication was clear and prompt before, during and after the procedure. These people are truly doing work they love and care about all they come in contact with. They are earth angels in my book!
Carol B.
I had been in incapacitating pain and suffering from lumbar back pain for over a year due to herniated discs, Dr. Wiederholz recommended the DISCSEEL Procedure and I can't be happier with the results. 5 months after the procedure l'm feeling amazing and being able to return to my normal self and activities. Thank you Dr. Wiederholz!
Damian G.
Dr Pauza is kind, caring and a magician. He has given me back my life!
Vincent B.
Very professional! I was treated well and was informed in detail how the procedure worked.
Jim H.
After 2 weeks all is good. Working in the yard and playing golf.

From the initial inquiry to walking out of the clinic after the DISCSEEL Procedure, I was treated very professionally… Best experience I’ve had. I feel like a million bucks! Best decision.
L. Bissell
DISCSEEL has given me a chance to enjoy my grandkids, travel and soon, retirement. I can walk a little more each week with out pain and without my legs going numb. It’s been a lot of years since I could do that.
Mark C.
Life changing procedure for me. 8 years and still feeling great!
Jon A.
This procedure was the best choice I ever made. The DISCSEEL procedure has cured any back issues I had and saved me from having major surgery.
Art H.
This procedure is life changing. I am planning on going para-gliding in the Swiss Alps in a couple of months (weather permitting) after fully recovering from this procedure.
Kim K.
Dr. Pauza sits with his patients and discusses the procedure and why the DISCSEEL Procedure works as opposed to the traditional surgical method of cages and screws. He put both my husband and I at ease and patiently answered all our questions plus gave us the background on how he came to discover the DISCSEEL Procedure.
The DISCSEEL Procedure to me is the only procedure anyone should have done if possible. It only makes sense while the alternative of screws and rods in your back seems so barbaric and doesn’t even compare. I sit for my job and hourly I walk for at least 500 steps. I have all cheers and gratitude for the DISCSEEL Procedure. 5 stars are not enough!
M. Rule
I had a level fused in my neck years ago. Since then I’ve been looking for alternative treatments as the levels below the fusion went bad and the doctors wanted to go in and fuse the whole mess! I really thought that it was over for me. After the DISCSEEL Procedure I was so impressed, that six weeks after my procedure I took my wife down and had her back and neck taken care of. The results are the same. She’s eight days out and already seeing improvements. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is a candidate and looking for an alternative to a fusion!
G. P.
Everything was perfect. The staff were so friendly and the staff in recovery were awesome. My whole experience was perfect. I traveled from Michigan to Florida for my procedure and it was well worth it.
Pamela J.
The procedure was fast and painless. I was pleasantly surprised to only have mild discomfort post op and was able to fly next day. I am only one month post procedure waiting for full recovery but able to go about my daily activities without issue. This certainly beats all other options!
K. Woods
Everything went as smoothly as possible. I had the DISCSEEL procedure, and it is now 3 weeks later, and yesterday was the first day that I didn't need any pain pills in over 3 months. The fact is, I was hurting so bad before that I was doubling up on every pain pill they gave me and still couldn't get any relief. I know I still have some healing to do, but the night before last was the first time Ive gotten a full night's sleep in over 3 months and already, if nothing else, it was well worth the money. I'm usually not a wimp when it comes to pain, but I honestly could not do that for the rest of life. I feel like my life for all intents and purposes was saved through the DISCSEEL Procedure. Highly recommend.
B. Smith
The DISCSEEL staff get a 10 ++ from me and I will recommend this to anyone who will listen and who potentially can be helped by the DISCSEEL procedure.
Christian Z.
DISCSEEL gave me my life back.
Richard S.
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is a candidate and looking for an alternative to a fusion! While I’m still healing, I’m so thankful that I found the DISCSEEL staff. They gave me my sanity back! I can’t thank them enough!
Greg P.
After almost 20 years of back pain I am living a normal life again and able to enjoy going out with friends and family. I can play with my grandchildren and enjoy teaching water aerobics. Last year my back took another turn for the worst and I had to stop teaching and could barely get through the day even with medication. I could no longer play with my grandchildren or even pick them up. I did not know what to do and went to two different doctors who both stated surgery was not an option for me. They both suggested pain management. I had done this in the past with no relief and it only masked the pain for a short period of time. I did not know where to turn. Thanks to my daughter in law and some research we found DISCSEEL. The DISCSEEL Procedure has been a God send. I am just over 60 days post procedure and getting better daily. No back pain and my body is adjusting. I am back to teaching water aerobics. The DISCSEEL staff were great. I was able to return to work the Monday following my procedure. I have taken a slow return to teaching water aerobics but have been able to do my job as the aquatics director and managing the facility.
Lady Bug
The DISCSEEL staff are the most friendly, compassionate group. I’m so thankful I found out about his DISCSEEL, my saving grace to not end up having a lumbar spinal fusion. Highly recommend for anyone with disc issues!!
Amber C.
Excellent. I recommend this procedure for anyone who is dealing with herniated or bulging disc. IT WORKS!
S. Brown
The DISCSEEL staff go above and beyond for their patients. They are fully vested and care. They want to see you heal and improve your quality of life. Remarkable treatment and team. I’m glad I did not opt for surgery and took this route.
M. M.
My DISCSEEL Procedure went off without a hitch. Super staff of nurses and care team. I’m feeling stronger already only 3 weeks post procedure!! 100% recommend!
Joanne W.
I had 4 of my vertebral discs treated with the DISCSEEL Procedure. My expectation was to relieve my serious sciatica and upper leg pain and my sciatica and upper leg pain is almost completely gone. After 18 months of no relief I am finally able to start enjoying the things that I like to do. The surgeons that hurt me in the first place wanted me to have another surgery with rods placed in my back. DISCSEEL was the wise alternative.
Dean H.
The DISCSEEL staff provided wonderful care, communicated very effectively, and had incredible attention to detail. I felt very at-ease throughout and had no discomfort at all after the procedure. At five weeks past the procedure, my neck feels and sounds significanly better. I am encouraged and glad I made the choice to have the DISCSEEL Procedure.
Mark T.
After ample research and 10 years of agonizing and immobilizing pain, my mom and I discovered this procedure. I am 2 weeks post-procedure and already can say this changed my life completely. I am a nursing student with high aspirations for my career and I now can say with full confidence, this procedure has enabled me to pursue my wildest dreams. I am SO grateful for DISCSEEL and their team and cannot recommend this procedure enough. I am so incredibly grateful and hopeful for a bright future ahead all thanks to DISCSEEL!
Serena P.
My procedure was smooth sailing! Everyone was so nice and took a lot of time talking and explaining the process and after care. I love having an alternative to surgery. Thanks, DISCSEEL!!!
Denise J.
I highly recommend the DISCSEEL procedure to anyone wanting to end years of misery. It is truly worth it. I can now look forward to living a full and abundant life without crippling pain!
Kerri M.
Just a quick note to say thank you once again. Just returned from a vacation with my wife in Santa Fe, NM. Walked all day long for 4 days. Didn’t think I’d ever be able to enjoy walking this far ever again.
Larry G.
You performed my DISCSEEL® Procedure on October, 2022.
Rather than write a lengthy text, (which I could easily do!) let me just say that I'm enjoying life in a way I didn't think was possible over the last 5 years. I'm now able to walk long distances, garden, do woodwork, and continue my design profession - all thanks to you! The process did take several months, as you told me the time frame might be. As many others have noted, it's been a life-changing experience. Thank you so very much for all of your research and courage that is providing so many people a solution to what can otherwise literally destroy the joy of life.
Larry G.
I just had 3 Discs (L3/L4 L4/L5 L5/S1) repaired with the DISCSEEL Procedure last Wed. 5/18/22 in the Naples, FL office. OMG, I'm an inch taller (back to my original height). The lumbar pain and nerve pain I've been suffering with for the last 9 years was gone as soon as I awoke from the sedation...5 days Post-Op, no pain and I feel like I have a renewed energy... Britany, Carrie, Amy, and Dr. Pauza are 1000% the real Deal! If you find from the team that you are a candidate, beg, borrow, or steal to get the procedure done! You wont regret it! If you need a real world non-affiliated testimonial, please feel free to shoot a DM on fb...
Dr. Pauza...I can't thank you enough for giving me my life back! I am forever grateful!
Jeff M.
No leg pain at all, back pain decreasing daily. For the first time in months, I feel like full recovery is possible. Very caring, responsive doctor and staff. I highly recommend Kevin Pauza and staff.
Gaylon C.
I am so impressed with Dr. Pauza, and his whole team!!! I had my cervical and lower back areas treated with DISCSEEL about 10 days ago, and I have experienced incredible improvement so far--while the results are not even expected yet!!! Dr. Pauza has done a lot of the important research on what he stands behind. And he is a totally committed doctor to me having a life with reduced pain or no pain. He will tell you he is with you for life in whatever he can do for you. I was looking at laminectomy or fusion, told to me by other doctors recently (post disc replacement already). And I can't believe I have already improved so much. I look forward to continuing the healing process, and Dr. Pauza is critical to my process. Thanks Dr. Pauza! I suggest you meet with him face-to-face even though it may be inconvenient to see what you think!
Anna B
Excellent , compassionate staff!

After dealing with 24/7 back, neck and sciatic pain for four years, researching all possible options for relief and resolution of this life-altering problem, I decided on Dr. Pauza’s DISCSEEL procedure. After thoroughly reviewing his website, protocol, reviews and testimonials and the YouTube interview with other doctors, my apprehension disappeared, and I moved forward. From the beginning, Brittany, his liaison assistant was a gem! She explained everything concisely, edified Dr. Pauza and his staff and made me feel very comfortable about the process. On February 17, 2022, my daughter Lauren and I met Dr. Pauza for a pre-op consultation. He was very personable, thorough, and reassuring about his breakthrough procedure and what to expect. I no longer had any anxiety. As I was set up for the procedure, his staff was professional, relaxed, and made me feel the same. Although I took only half of a pain med after the procedure, I initially had no pain anymore. I was ecstatic! It is now February 26th, I have skipped days taking any pain meds, and I only have a residual hip pain. After mentioning this to Nurse Rhonda, she said it is normal and should eventually go away. I am VERY PLEASED with the initial results! I have already told five friends about Dr. Pauza and the DISCSEEL Procedure, three of whom are making plans to have it done soon. For anyone suffering with herniated or bulging discs, or degenerative disc issues, or previous spinal fusions, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Pauza and his DISCSEEL solution!!
Bernard B
Dr. Pauza is a genius , prior doctors wanted to do an S1/L5 fusion on me coming through my belly. Researching that procedure, I knew it would be horrible at 65.
Dr Pauza was completely right, all the pain I was experiencing was from the torn discs. As soon as he finished the procedure, I felt relief from pain in my legs. I could barely walk and sit prior to the procedure, now, almost four weeks after I have no pain at all anywhere! Slight stiffness when I get out of bed, but it goes away as soon as I start walking. The Dr said it would take 3 months to a year to heal completely. If I had undergone fusion surgery after 3 weeks, I would still be a mess. I am completely satisfied with Dr Pauza and his dedicated team everyone is customer focused. We drove from Houston to Tyler to have the benefit of his experience. Totally worth the trip and the cost. .Dr Pauza ended up repairing all my lumbar discs, a fusion operation would have missed this opportunity to relieve pain from those leaks.
Thank you, Dr Pauza!
J. Smith
Dr Pauza is amazing -- highly knowledgeable and very personable. During the consultation, he takes all the time needed -- explaining the procedure and answering questions. It's clear he truly cares about his patients and their quality of life. He delivers a highly personalized experience. He is supported by a highly professional and responsive team -- always available to help and answer questions both pre- and post-procedure. One staffer is even going to provide guidance to my Pilates instructor on how best to approach some movements going forward.
It has only been a few days since my procedure and I'm already beginning to reap the benefits. It feels so good to be in less pain! Thank you Dr Pauza!!
Nancy W
I honestly have nothing but good things to say. Dr Pauza's pre d post off procedure. I feel so much better it's amazing. I was in a wheelchair just over a month ago. Everything is back to normal god bless this man. He's a great doctor. Go see him you. Won't regret it.
Joseph J
Dr. Pauza and his entire team are personable, professional and care deeply about their patience. I highly recommend Dr. Pauza and his staff.
John T
My experience with Dr. Kevin Pauza, MD, and his team was above my expectations. My only regret was that time was too short for me to have a decent pre-op conversation with the doctor, but I was too excited to remember my questions for him. From pre-op to post-op, by my count, there were ten assistants to the doctor ranging from my liaison who handled paperwork, to the person who placed my IVs, the anesthesiologist, and many nurses. The procedure went quickly as I had seven discs sealed and filled, and by the time I got up from the table to get dressed the back pain was erased. Since that time, thirty-six days later, I have only had two short episodes of pain that lasted maybe three minutes tops- I'm not worried about this as I was advised that it could take up to a year for everything to heal.
I am very grateful that the complete numbness that had settled into my back over the past two years is now gone- that only took two weeks to resolve. My sleep is greatly improved, and I am gaining energy on a daily basis as I relearn to walk and use muscles long past dormant. I highly recommend the DiscSeel procedure to anyone wanting to end years of misery. It is truly worth every penny. I can now look forward to living a full and abundant life without crippling pain!
Dr. Pauza is the most attentive doctor I have ever met. He provided a lot of personal attention to make sure no questions are left unanswered. He provided his personal contact information in case I need to reach him with any additional questions, and he even provided a personal handwritten note post-op, which I thought was a very nice, and reassuring gesture. His technique is very unique, and I am so happy I got a chance to participate in the method.
Kerri M
Dr. Pauza and his Team of professionals treat you as though you are the most important person. They go above and beyond to make the procedure a positive experience. From the time you arrive at the airport in Tyler and the car service picks you up (if you choose to use this service) to the time you are delivered back to the airport I had the feeling of confidence I was being taken care of in the best possible way.
My procedure included 4 discs and went well. I still have back pain, but I feel it is less than before and I am confident it will get better over time. I was told from the beginning it could take up to a year. At this time in my life any pain relief is welcome. With 10 years of back pain I think I can be patient and do what I can to make sure it has maximum gain.
Thank you, Dr., Kevin Pauza and Company for your Professionalism and dedication to disc regeneration and actual healing.
Zane B
I had my injections the end of August so still hard to tell. I have had a few great days for sure! Still waiting to hear when I can start some light PT.
Really nice staff! Dr Pauza seems very knowledgeable!
Rachel N
I visited Dr Kevin Pauza and his team in July 2021.From the beginning to the end on treatment day, the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient Dr Pauza had the ability to explain details and set you at ease. I would recommend this procedure to anyone that has disc problems. I’m my opinion, Dr Pauza gave me a new outlook for my future, this after being offered only total fusion of my lumbar spine, even by surgeons in Germany. I am one month out and 98% free of pain. So, many thanks to Dr Pauza and his staff!
Kate M
Before and after my neck and lumbar Discseel procedure with Dr. Pauza, I did a lot of research. I talked about and showed the CBS Sunday Morning clip of Dr. Pauza to dozens of my clients. Now that I am feeling the results of my procedure, I have continued to have people who hear of my being out of work to have “surgery” come up to see about me and once again… I showed them the video and beg them to not get traditional surgery and only see Dr. Pauza. I now have 3 people so far scheduling their MRI to schedule a consultation with Dr. Pauza. Even my mom, who lives a couple hours away is asking me to send info to her friends about Discseel.
Laura S
From my very first contact with his office was nothing short of fantastic. Amy was the absolute best patient liaison I have ever worked with. The day of the discseel procedure when Dr Pauza came to talk to my husband and I about what to expect he was not rushed and took the time to answer every question we had. When we were all set he wheeled my gurney out of pre-op to the procedure room. My experience was the best I have ever had. I am 10 days post procedure and my pain is almost completely gone. I have struggled with severe back pain for more than 20 years and never thought I would ever be pain free and this procedure is proving me wrong. Amy has contacted me several times checking on how I am feeling. That makes me so happy I pursued having this done. Thank you to Dr. Pauza, Amy and all the staff at the Turtle Creek Surgery Center.

Dr. Pauza and his staff were excellent. I had three ruptured disks in my lower back. My leg pain had been very bad for the last 4 months. Could not sit at all. Had my procedure completed on 4/13/21 and every day has been better than the previous. I am so happy to finally have relief and have a normal day without spending all day on my pain. I still have some lingering leg pain, but not nearly as bad and getting better every day. My back pain seems to be gone or disappearing every day. I could not be happier that I went to Tyler, Texas, from Ohio. I was very nervous about the procedure, but give Dr. Pauza the highest praise now.
Brian D.
I wish there was a Higher Rating then 5 stars....LIFE CHANGING!!! This Procedure Works! I am living proof; my life has changed completely... I had my lumbar spine procedure (6 levels) almost 6 years ago and feel AMAZING!!
After my lumbar procedure, I woke up and felt my toes for the first time in years. Since the procedure, I have been able to live an active lifestyle with almost no pain. Completely the opposite prior to having it done.
Prior to seeing Dr. Pauza, I had no hope, considering the alternative was extremely evasive surgery recommended after prior rhizotomy's, 2 failed neuro stimulators, epidurals, trigger point injections, etc. did not work. My final recommendation was a 6-level fusion which is life changing and very dangerous surgery. I was told by both neurosurgeons and spine surgeons that this was life altering and even told "I could walk in and possibly wheel out" of surgery by one of them.
I just underwent my cervical C3-C7 and already feel a change (no numbness in my arm or tingling fingers). I am so Thankful that I found Dr. Pauza, I truly feel I have been given a second chance and would highly recommend him to anyone who suffers the way I did.

Absolutely the most sincere and wonderful doctor I have ever met. Truly cares about his patients. Tells the truth, good or bad and helps make good decisions regarding long term care. Kevin Pauza is the light at the end of the tunnel. One of the top spine doctors in the country. The discseel procedure he has patented is life changing for those that have suffered low back injury/ pain and a much better alternative to surgery. His Medical staff is very knowledgeable and attentive, top notch! You would not be doing yourself any favors if you don't take the time to have a consultation with Dr. Kevin Pauza.

Dr. Pauza is very knowledgeable and willing to listen to the patient and their symptoms. He goes over all options with the patient and tries to avoid doing procedures that he already knows will not help. He can work with insurance or on a cash basis so he can get around the insurance requirements of numerous procedures that don't help your particular issue. His office staff is WONDERFUL! I am always able to get hold of someone with questions or medicine refills. I had the Discseel procedure, and it has changed my life for the better! No band aid treatment here, it just gets fixed like it should!!! I LOVE Dr. Pauza and his team!

Dr. Pauza and staff were fantastic. I was in significant pain and his staff went the extra mile to schedule my appointment quickly. Carrie Wright was amazing as she walked me through the process and prepared me for what I should expect. Dr. Pauza carefully examined me and spent ample time clearly explaining all options. After following his advice, I am now pain free. Dr. Pauza is a brilliant physician whom I highly recommend to anyone suffering from back pain.

I thank god everyday for this procedure. I am pain free since Oct 2017.

Amy please thank Dr. Pauza for getting my husband back.

Dr. Pauza has given me a chance to enjoy my grandkids, travel, and soon, retirement. I can walk a little more each week with out pain and without my legs going numb. It’s been a lot of years since I could do that.

Dr. Pauza and his staff go above and beyond for their patients. They are fully vested and care. They want to see you heal and improve your quality of life. Remarkable treatment and team.
I’m glad I did not opt for surgery and took this route. I have suffered from back pain for 12+ years, some days I could not put my pants, socks, or shoes on. I would get MRIs every year, I did ablation, injections, therapy and medication with minimal relief and all short term. One Neurologist said it was muscle pain, another just prescribed medication a third had me come in for shots every few months. Multiple specialists and all trying to lead me to fusion.
I’m a week post op and I’m seeing the signs this is working. I cannot wait to wake up pain free and not have to worry that in ten years I’ll need another surgery as is typically the case with fusion (I have two friends that have followed that path).

The DISCSEEL® Procedure has solved my lower back problems, which other doctors have overlooked for the past 4 years. I wish I had known about this procedure earlier.

I can be an over doer working in my yard, plus I had a 29% curvature in my low back. I had extreme pain get worse trying to lift weights. I had 4 leaky discs sealed on May 5th. Now in recovery mode, from my miles of flower beds, yard, and garden. It's hard to not get back out there! But I'm trying to be good.
My brother has had 6 back fusion surgeries, going on possibly 7. He has bolts all the way down his back. He's still in constant pain. He needs to see my doctor!

I agree with what everyone says about your procedure. Dr. F.D. Hussey in Naples was trained by Dr. Pauza. I was either the first or second patient Dr. Hussey performed the DISCSEEL® Procedure on. I am 100% better. Worth every dime I had to pay. What an amazing procedure. Can't thank them enough.

It's been 4 months since my DISCSEEL® Procedure for 4 herniated discs, and all 5 of my lumbar discs had tears that leaked. Here's the bottom line. After living with pain for almost 35 years, It's been an absolute miracle for me. I followed your instructions, well except for one, I walked in a swimming pool a little to longer than I should have after 1 week, and the rest of that day was my most painful experience with muscle spasms during my entire recovery, but I was back to 100% the following day. Although I took the pain pills the first night, I really never needed them, just an occasional Advil. I'm doing everything I want without any pain or discomfort, biking, hiking, swimming, weight training, etc., and I'm letting everyone I know that suffers with back or neck pain about the DISCSEEL Treatment. I can't thank Dr. Pauza and his entire staff enough.

I was in so much daily pain from a degenerative disc and two others that were herniated that I saw two spine specialists in OH and begged them to operate in order to relieve the pain. They both refused. On a scale of 1-10, I lived with a constant 6. It was affecting me physically and emotionally. Fortunately, I was referred to Dr. Pauza by one of those specialists. I was hesitant at first, but felt relieved after talking to his staff. My wife and I flew to TX for the procedure in June of 2018. It is now December 2018 and I have been pain free for a month and counting! It’s hard to describe this feeling after having lived with daily pain for so long. Thank you Dr. Pauza!

I was so nervous going into the DISCSEEL® Procedure because I came in from out of state and had never met Dr. Pauza and his team. I was thoroughly impressed by their politeness and eagerness to answer any questions. Dr. Pauza took his time making sure I was comfortable during the office appointment before the procedure that afternoon. Everyone has been very encouraging and after the procedure I had more of a pressure feeling than pain. My recovery has been great and I am so happy that I am going to have my life back again! I hope everyone that is a candidate will try the DISCSEEL® Procedure before a spinal fusion. Thanks!

Miracle? Well, 11 years back I started with first back surgery and had 9 of them with fusions. In 2012, I started following Kevin on Sunday morning with Charles Osgood and then my surgeons told me that was all a farce and not proven. I listened rather than going with my gut feeling. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!! I was disabled on ice 14 hrs a day for years and then made my way to Dr. Pauza.
When I left the hospital I was walking 17,000 steps the next day and average 8-10k since.
DO NOT TWIST OR LIFT AND U WILL BE FINE. I am actually looking for surgeons to take fusions out of my body like they did in 2016 from my L4 area. I am on a mission to stop people from getting fusions!! If you want to know the real truth just ask every neuro surgeon or orthopedic and ask them if they have a fusion...! GOOD LUCK! They know the real truth but will sell their soul to the devil before telling you the truth.

I flew over from tropical Queensland, Australia to have the DISCSEEL® Procedure. I'm glad I did. I had sciatica and a little sciatic pain down both legs. I was using walking poles to get around. I had chronic pain in my lower back. Five discs were in total degeneration. The medical profession in Australia did not have any solution for my condition. I contacted Carrie at Dr. Pauza's office, and I'm glad I did. The sciatic pains went away within days of the treatment. Lower back pain diminished from a 9/10 to a 2/10 within months. I have osteoarthritis throughout my spine and hips, which causes different pain for me. My family and I are very grateful to Dr. Pauza and his great team. Who would have thought this simple procedure could change the quality of life for people who suffer with high level pain continuously? This Procedure has since become available in Japan. Thanks again Dr. Pauza. I hope the DISCSEEL Procedure will be available to back pain suffers throughout world.

Dr. Pauza and Carrie gave my 18 year old daughter her life back! I can't say enough good things about them. After a volleyball injury, my daughter had struggled for 4 years with chronic pain that even a spinal cord stimulator and narcotics could not control. Now after having the DISCSEEL® Procedure my daughter is off all meds and is back to enjoying her life. Don't hesitate to see if the DISCSEEL® Procedure is right for YOU!

Thank you for the compassion, medical care and related services you provided me before and after the DISCSEEL® Procedure. I had the DISCSEEL® Procedure on January 29, 2019, and I can tell that I am receiving benefits from it already. I have had lower back pain for over 2 years now after being rear-ended. Before, I did not have back pain. I tried conservative care to deal with it. Unfortunately, the conservative care did not work, and doctors told me that I'll need surgery. After the DISCSEEL® Procedure, I can already tell that my pain is improving. I know recovery varies but I am very optimistic that the DISCSEEL® Procedure will possibly eliminate the need for back surgery. Thank you!!

Dr. Pauza gave me my life back. That statement may sound dramatic but it is true. I was being treated by arguably the best physicians at UCSF and Stanford (two top-tier medical hospitals) and my results were abysmal. I was in immense pain every day and the only relief I could find was through narcotics. I had basically given up until somebody saw me limping one day and recommend that I go see Dr. Pauza. Though my back will never return to normal I can now live a relatively comfortable life. The cost of the procedure was the best check I ever wrote. I would be happy to share my experience via phone.

I suffered with chronic back pain for 4 years. Being the physical person I am I continued with my normal high intensity workouts and pushed through the pain, continued with my martial arts, gymnastics and weight training until the pain was too much to bare. As a film a television actor who is adamant about performing all his own stunts and someone who is expected to because of the world class level of martial arts I bring to the table as an actor, I was in despair and knew I had to find a way to deal with or remedy my back problem before it got any worse. I sought out some top spine surgeons, the first one told me I had no other choice but spinal fusion, I was devastated, the other two surgeons told me I could have an artificial disc or fusion or I could do nothing, and just use pain management procedures.
I was seriously considering the artificial disc, but something inside me said DON'T! The next day my chiropractor sent me a video about the DISCSEEL® Procedure. I watched the video, and I was AMAZED, I researched everything I could about the procedure. I then called Dr. Pauza in Texas. From the moment the procedure began I had complete faith and trust. From the beginning to after the procedure, my whole experience was amazing, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I was walking around immediately after the procedure.
By the second week I was back in the gym and my sciatic nerve pain had diminished, I was also able to lie on my stomach without pain, which previous to the procedure I could not do without pain. By week three I was shadow boxing. My progress grew every week. Now I am 3 months (August 13, 2015) out, I am back to running, I have increased flexibility, I am back to kicking and punching, back in the gym and I am beyond grateful that I found the DISCSEEL® Procedure.
Sometimes in life you will find those rare individuals that can change your life. I personally feel Dr. Pauza gave me back my health, enabled me to come back pain free, and better than ever, and enabled me not to choose major surgery and for that I am eternally grateful. And by taking care of me they have taken care of my whole family.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!

I had 2 microdiscectomy's (2010, 2012). I'm my case, they just bought me some time as the pain always comes back. In 2015, I was recommended to get a 4 level X Flex fusion. No way, there are alternatives......This procedure changed my life. It's changed the lives of many friends and family members as well. I was on pain meds for 10 years and in awful pain. I was off them 2 weeks after the procedure, that was 3.5 years ago.
