Heidi Hullinger, M.D. - Mountainside Hospital

Dr. Hullinger has operated on me twice for 2 unrelated issues. The first back in October of 2019 was to remove a 3cm cyst that had wrapped itself around the base of my spine. It was truly remarkable to awake from that surgery with the symptoms from the pressure of the cyst gone and be virtually pain-free. The more recent was performed on May 5 of this year and was an ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discetomy and Fusion) which translates to a cervical spine 3-level procedure in my neck. A much more complicated and longer surgery then my first, but a few days after the procedure I had the experience of again being virtually pain-free and have not needed any prescription or over the counter meds since that time. Leading up to my surgery was quite a different story, as I was on a regimen of Tramadol
