Patient Testimonials

When I first met Dr. Gorecki my hands were shaking so badly I couldn’t hold a Styrofoam cup without my fingers piercing through it. A two minute task would take me thirty minutes to complete. I was ready to give up my heating & air business because I thought treatment would be too difficult, but now that I’ve tried DBS, I can say it’s totally worth it! I’m back to work and feel the best I have in years, and it only required a short hospital stay. The Northside nursing team was fantastic and Dr. Gorecki made me feel comfortable from the moment I met him. His calm and focused demeanor gave me the confidence to try the procedure and I’m so grateful I did!

I was taking 14 pills a day and I couldn’t do my work in real estate, hold a cup or prepare dinner. The Deep Brain Surgery I received from Dr. Gorecki has changed my life. I no longer have the tremor. I have a new lease on life!

Dr. Gorecki did a deep brain stimulation on my mother and she no longer has the horrible tremor. He was so caring and detailed with my mom. He is a fantastic neurosurgeon. He has really helped my family.

Dr. Gorecki was very kind and really listened to me and spent some time explaining the procedure I needed. He reviewed my CT scans in depth with me. I never felt rushed at all in his office. The surgery was performed at NEGMC and they were great also. I would very highly recommend Dr. Gorecki to anyone needing back surgery. I just can’t say enough good things about this wonderful doctor.

An exceptional neurosurgeon for most that ails you when it comes to your spine, from your neck to your tailbone.

Very professional. Great doctor. I had already been through 2 years of tests and other doctors and knew what was wrong with me but waited to see what he came up with. He got in one consultation and one follow up following tests the complete results that a took a combination of other Drs. Very impressed with his knowledge.

I was given Dr. Gorecki’s name as a referral from a friend who said he was excellent. My overall experience with Dr. Gorecki and his staff was very positive. He corrected my severe spine problem with surgery and with little to no pain afterwards. He was very attentive to my needs in the hospital and follow up appointments.

First, I want to assure all people considering Dr. Gorecki as their surgeon, that he immediately addressed my pain level and provided much needed relief until day of surgery. Based on my recovery of lower back surgery, I am extremely pleased with the results. I no longer require pain meds and discomfort is minimal after six weeks. Given the “odds” of surgery having less than acceptable percentage rate success, I can honestly say Dr. Gorecki surpassed my expectations. I would definitely recommend anyone facing this operation to consult with Dr. Gorecki. Closely following his after surgery advice, I am confident I will recover with nearly 100 percent mobility. Thank you Dr. Gorecki for your exceptional gift to restore normalcy to my life.
