During Friday’s clinic, we saw Ekic and his family who drove seven hours (341 miles) from his home in Richmond Kentucky to come back to see us for his one year postop visit.
Erik had a previous scoliosis fusion done years ago, and has had difficulties with flat back syndrome for many years with severe deformity and pain.
You can see his previous blog entries here:

In this Blog, 38 yo Eri and his family share their thanks to Hey Clinic and Duke Raleigh Hospital Staff, for his new posture and new life off narcotics and enjoying family again.

Great to see you Erik, and thanks for making the trip to come back and see us!
Take care,

Dr. Lloyd Hey
