Back to Living Life Her Way!

When Deborah S. first came to see Dr. Hugh Bassewitz, she could barely walk. The pain from her sciatic nerve was unbearable, and previous doctors hadn’t found the real issue.

That changed the day Dr. Bassewitz reviewed her MRI and discovered her sciatic nerve was being compressed at the L4 and L5 levels. Thanks to his quick action and the dedication of the Desert Orthopaedic Center team, Deborah was able to undergo surgery right away.

At Desert Orthopaedic Center, every story like Deborah’s reminds us why we do what we do—helping patients move better, feel better, and live better. Read Deborah’s story here: www.doclv.com/every-comeback-has-story/my-comeback-story-deborah-s

PAIN RELIEF REDEFINED | Living with chronic pain doesn’t have to be your normal.

Fellowship-trained, board-certified pain management specialist Dr. Andrew Park offers leading-edge therapies:

• Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Shoulder: A small implanted device sends mild electrical pulses to block pain signals before they reach the brain, effectively easing nerve pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and shoulder-related chronic pain.

• Intracept® Procedure: A minimally invasive treatment that interrupts nerve signals in the spine, providing relief for those with chronic low-back pain.

If pain is holding you back, schedule an appointment with Dr. Park today by calling (702) 664-8084 or clicking here for self-scheduling: www.doclv.com/doctors/s-andrew-park-md

EXPERT HIP REPLACEMENT | “I recently visited Desert Orthopaedic Center, Dr. Nevins, regarding my arthritic hip. I was very pleased because they were on time for my appointment with a very professional, friendly, and courteous staff. When I met Dr. Nevins, I was very impressed. His explanation of my condition . . . what should be a total hip replacement, or I could try to live with injections. I chose the hip replacement because of my future quality of life. Dr. Nevis clearly explained the procedure, timelines, and what I should expect before, during, and after surgery. I feel very comfortable and confident to have Dr. Nevins as the orthopaedic surgeon to allow me to live the life I want in my years to come.” – Reynold T.
