Vertebroplasty Testimonial
Judy Woods
In August 2008, Judy Woods could barely take a step without severe pain. An MRI revealed three fractures. Ms. Woods, a single woman raising her 13 year old granddaughter, could not afford to take time off her job with the Mayo Cafe.
She was referred to Doctors Imaging Group in Gainesville, Florida for treatment. Dr. Rick Kinard, an intervention radiologist treated Ms. Woods and within three days, she was back at work, fulltime.
"Dr. Kinard gave me my life back" exclaimed Judy Woods as she stacked customer's plates during her 10 hour day waitress job.
"I enjoy my work and I know all of my customers", stated Ms. Woods, "This procedure allowed me to not miss a beat and continue to take care of my responsibilities. For that, I am very grateful to Dr. Kinard and his wonderful staff".
