Dear Dr. Lynch,
My wife, Michelle, and I wish to express our profound appreciation to you, your Spine Nevada
team and your esteemed colleagues, Dr. Craig A. Hutchens, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Thomas
Rembetski, for the ALIF L5-Sl surgery you performed on me Dec 9th, 2010. Your recognized
expertise in this field of surgery and your ability to set me at ease were a tremendous part of the
process. Dr. Rembetski's opening and closing skills were awesome. I also want to acknowledge
Dr. James L. Christensen, Reno Orthopedic Clinic, for performing my "trigger finger" surgery
immediately before the back surgery. Your willingness to schedule the surgeries together saved
me from undergoing another anesthesiology not to mention the added stress. Additionally, I want
to express my appreciation to the staff at Saint Mary's hospital for their great service and for the
beautiful recovery room that was extended to me.
I am aware it takes a team approach to make surgeries of this nature to be 100% successful.
Please indulge me as I try to recognize everyone on a personal note: it starts with the pain
management team of Dr. Jonathan Burns, MD and Monica
Castellano, MA. Your physician assistants were and still are invaluable; Mr. Ken Schaefer,
attendant at the surgery, and Mr. James Durante, post op (thank you James for the assistance on
the phone). You have an exceptional physical therapy team, they had to take me through several
transitions before my body and my brain responded. Thanks so much for your patience and
encouragement; Leslie H. Toulouse, MA, MPT, Rene Nicholas, RN, PTA and Karen Henke,
Physical Therapy Aid. Last but not least, your administrative assistant, Clara Villacorta was
always courteous and helpful, thank you Clara.
Dr. Lynch, you and your team are the reason I have fully recovered in such a short time after
forty years of suffering back pain! I am so glad and blessed that your combined talents were
available in the Nevada / Tahoe region.
Thank you all, Charles
