Success Stories
Sean wanted to find a solution to his back pain that didn’t involve putting hardware in his spine, so he chose the Discseel® Procedure. Now he’s living pain-free and has been able to return to the lifestyle he loves.
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. The treatments he received gave him no relief, and Charlie feared invasive fusion surgery. Thanks to the Discseel® Procedure Charlie is active again and has no limitations!
When Hector fell off a ladder at work, his life changed forever. Constant back pain altered his life, and even his family life began to suffer. The Discseel® Procedure got him back to work within 7 days and he is once again able to enjoy his hobbies!
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.

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!

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., May 2022
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!

Excellent , compassionate staff!
Kyle Hufnall, march 2022
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!!
Sincerely,
Bernard Beausoleil, March 2022
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, March 2022
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 Warman, January 2022
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 I. 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.

Dr. Pauza and his entire team are personable, professional and care deeply about their patience. I highly recommend Dr. Pauza and his staff.
John Tirrill, November 2021
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 McCormick, November 2021
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 Bennett, November 2021
Really nice staff! Dr Pauza seems very knowledgeable!
Rachel Nordell, November 2021
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 McClelland, September 2021
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 Simpson, September 2021
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.

Cathi W May, 2021
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.
Steve Martin 2020
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.
Sigi West 2020
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!
Virginia Lee 2020
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.

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).

Dear Dr. Pauza and Carrie,
THANK YOU for giving me my life back and the ability to dance again. Your Discseel® Procedure truly is a life saver. In the Palm Beach Classic Dancesport, my partner and I placed 1st in Championship and 3rd in Scholarship. It was a long and tiring day, but I held up well. I hope to see you both in Naples soon!
