“Dear Dr. Hunt,

Having now passed the two-year anniversary of my L3-4,4-5, L5-S1 spinal fusion, it is about time (much belatedly) to share with patients considering your professional services:

DO NOT GO TO ANYONE ELSE!!!

Suffering from degenerative disk disease for many years and undergoing two unsuccessful surgeries, I was referred to you by my sister-in-law. At that time, I could not stand stationary for more than three minutes without support or shifting my entire body weight to my right leg. Your professional and kind demeanor was comforting; but, more importantly, your clear explanation of what was required for me to finally become pain-free and resume my normal physical activities was the answer to my prayers.

Although you candidly advised me, immediately following the planned surgery, you would not be my favorite person, I nevertheless had no question you were there to make things right. It was not an easy recovery, at age 61, but once I "turned the corner", I knew that my life was going to return to normal. In fact, eight weeks post-surgery, I celebrated my wedding anniversary in New York City, walking the streets of Manhattan during the holiday season. In April, 2010, just six months after the fusion, I checked off my Bucket List a solo, motorcycle round-trip adventure across the United States, traveling 7,000 miles in 29 days. There was never a day I had any problem with my back.

I have leaned to bend differently to tie my shoes, just as you told me, and there are those occasional days when I do get some soreness/stiffness but, by and large, I am living an active life and enjoying it to the fullest. Had it not been for you, sir, I am not sure what the future may have held for me. You are a master, an artist and a genuinely gifted human being. Neither I nor my family can ever thank you enough for all that you have done for us.

Eternally grateful,
W.A.

“Dr Hunt,

Dr. Hunt,

"Where to begin? Several years ago I lifted something a bit too heavy and POP - out went by lower back.

After going through PT and seeing a Chiropractor, the end conclusion was that I needed a laminectomy. Upon awakening from the procedure, I had felt worse that before I went in.

It took about 5-6 weeks to figure out I needed a revision, this time hoping the results will be as they were expected to be the first time. No such luck.

Following two failed attempts, I was told there was nothing that could be done to help me. I was shoved off from one pain clinic to the next, having a variety of medications pumped through my system, with most being a failure in helping me with my condition.

I went through epidurals, spinal injections and even underwent the trial for a Spine Stimulator. Nothing was helping me and not only was my body failing physically, I was being failed mentally and emotionally as well. I was referred to a Psychologist, who then also wanted me to see a Psychiatrist, who also thought it was imperative that I go through antidepressant medication therapy..and very high doses of it. All to no avail. I couldnt explain to all of these medical professionals that a pill is not going to help what I endure on a daily basis. My pain was so high that I was chipping away my teeth from grinding them on a daily basis. I have two young children, my youngest only being 4 months old when this all begin, and they only knew Mommy as "broken Mommy". My oldest, now 6yo, was last held by me 4 years ago. My youngest had to learn how to climb onto and from everything in order for myself to avoid any lifting.

My marriage was held together by belief that we will not give up. Everyday, if it wasnt me then it was my husband reading and researching all information available.

I confided in my therapists, in my pain doctors, in my primary care doctor that although I do feel like giving up on a daily basis - I know there has to be more out there. There is no way that I could be left in this condition and no one out there can help me. People are getting face transplants, but I cant get my back fixed? Not right.

At this time, I lived in NY. I felt like I exhausted all of my medical avenues, all with the same answer "sorry, wish we could help, good luck".

Since winters are brutal in NY, it was October of 2009 and I, again, was preparing for a painful winter which dubs as a very deep depression. Which led me to Dr. Leonel Hunt. I wanted to find the very best doctor is all of America. I realized that I was too young to throw the towel in and it was time to do something, whatever it took, to get my life back, which in return would give my children their lives back as well as my husband. We needed to be that unit we once were.

I confided in my husband that I was going to do whatever it takes, and he supported me 100%. Whether he knew at that time that we were going to turn our lives upside down in the next 4 months or not, it didnt matter. He knew I was coming to and end with my pain tolerance. I refused to live my life on a 24 medication regimen.

I researched and researched and the one common denominator that kept coming up with Dr. L. Hunt.

I gathered all the information I could, and called a family meeting. As I presented the information, informing my family that I think I may have found someone that could possibly help me - my family was ecstatic. Then I informed them that it would require for me to take the family and move across the country. Not so ecstatic anymore.

It seemed so far fetched, as my pain was so high that I coudlnt drive an hour away to see family, but I was proposing going to California for a consultation. I was willing to endure anything at this point, if it meant an end to my misery, then so be it. A month later, in November 09, I booked my flight to Los Angeles and booked my appointment with Dr. L. Hunt.

I think I was more nervous for this appointment than I was on my wedding day. After all, this was either going to make me or break me. The staff was wonderful, very welcoming, very warm. However, I was fighting back a flood of tears because up until this point, there was not a single doctor appointment in regards to my spine that ended well. They all ended horribly with myself sobbing all the way home. Needless to say, emotions were high. But one thing that stuck out right from the beginning, was that I didnt have the urge to cry. I met with the nurse, explained my history, and then waited for Dr. Hunt to enter the room. No tears.

He explained to me what he saw on my films and read in my medical reports, and he didnt waiver. He was so professional about my situation, so empathetic, that I suddenly felt that I had a team mate rather than another opponent. I felt that this was the first person that I am not feeling the need to battle to help me. He was game and he was more confident than I ever encountered up until this point. No wonder the tears were not flowing, there was no need for them. He was on my side, for once. He wanted to help me and he felt confident in this decision. He discussed my options with me - my options being two; 1. Do Nothing OR 2. Proceed with a Fusion.

The decision seemed easy enough, right? Except for the fact that he was located in CA and I was in NY. This was not going to stop me. I explained to him my situation and he said he would help in whatever way he could. For the first time, since 2006, I walked out of a doctor's office without sobbing. I was smiling.

Upon returning to NY, I had a lot to decide on but the easiest part of it was that I finally felt like I had a solution to my many years of agony. There was an end in site and I was going to get to it.

Within a week, our house was on the market, I notified my entire circle of family and friends and my husband began his search for employment as I searched for a place to live. Within 8 weeks, my family of four was moved to San Diego. My husband secured a job, I secured a lease and I finally felt positive about our future. Was it hard? Absolutely. Worth it - absolutely!

During this entire time, Dr. L. Hunt's staff kept in contact and were there for me if I needed any other assistance before undergoing the surgery.

In May, 2010, I went in for a 2 level lumbar fusion. The care I received was beyond impeccable. Dr. L. Hunt's bedside manner is award winning. His confidence made me feel so comfortable and made this entire process worth every moment of it. Not a stone left unturned, not a question left lingering - I truly felt like I was the only patient he had.

Prior to surgery, he was there, and upon awakening from surgery, he was there. He came every day to check on me while I was in the hospital and he made sure my recovery was right on cue.

I'm not quite 6 months since my procedure, but I am feeling a world of difference. I feel so much stronger, and more efficient. I would have never been this well along had I not pursued the care of Dr. Hunt. He truly is amazing, and life altering for not only myself, but my entire family. We are forever grateful to him.

I have documented my entire journey, and have had over 10,000 hits, all with positive and remarkable feedback from across the states, all the way to Taiwan!!

I am very very grateful for the medical knowledge and professionalism of the entire Hunt Staff. I would be typing for days if I were to write down all that has changed since I have met Dr. Hunt. All in all - THANK YOU!!

Sincerely,
A.R.

Dear Dr. Hunt,

I don’t know if you remember me, but I came in at the end of January to have you check a muscle spasm along with my spine. My orthopaedist and I had asked my radiologist to triple check my MRI, since the spasm had a funky feel about it. The radiologist concluded that there was no mass or tumor and therefore the spot in question must just be in spasm. I came to you for a second opinion.

You looked at the very same MRI and immediately asked me whether anyone had mentioned anything about my kidneys. They hadn’t, and you showed me what looked to be a cyst in the right kidney. Even I could see what you were questioning. The right kidney was visually different then the left.

I have since been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. The tumor has pretty much taken over, so I’m having surgery to remove my kidney on March 10th.

I probably can’t express in words how amazing and wonderful you are, but I sure as hell will try! I can’t believe you spotted it. I was a brand new patient for you, and you could have analyzed solely the spot in question and dismissed me just like the radiologist. But you took the time and properly analyzed my imaging studies and suffice to say could have very well saved my life.

So fat the cancer is contained within the kidney, so I should be good after surgery. But I need you to know that without you, this may have never been detected possibly until it was metastatic, I got really sick and my survival rate decreased tenfold.

Thank you SO much for your quality care and I hope you realize you’ve impacted and changed my life forever.

Thank you thank you form the bottom of my one good kidney.

Sincerely,
B. K.

Dear Dr. Leonel Hunt,

I had the privilege to see the x-ray after surgery. It was like a piece of art, 2 totally aligned discs in my throat with 8 screws. I was so impressed by your precision and at the same time so real happy to have met you. You are living your mission to heal the needy in this lifetime. What a blessing to you and your brother. I told your story to my 84 year old mother who has Alzheimer’s and she was so touched that she cried. I am grateful that you were sent on my path, that I can now help other friends in need by sending them to you.

With loving thoughts,
R. D.

A lot of physicians can take a lesson from Dr. Hunt. His office and bedside manners are sincere and he obviously cares very much about his patients. Never once have I felt rushed through an examination and the few times I have had questions and called them in, the calls were always returned. Dr. Hunt takes the time to explain any and all procedures while giving the patient a chance to decipher what in fact is going on and does not leave the patient feeling flustered and uncertain--in short, you get an thorough education--something that is necessary in the long run so you know how to take care of yourself both before and after your procedure.

I recommend Dr. Hunt to anyone who may need his help; believe me, you will feel better from the time you meet him until--and after--the time you are healed. G-d bless you Dr. Hunt and thank you for everything!

Most Sincerely,
P. L.

Dear Dr. Hunt,

Have I told you lately that I adore you?! And that I thank you every day for being my guardian angel throughout my little go’round in Feb-Mar of this year. It meant so much to me that you hovered carefully on the perimeter and popped into my hospital room often enough to keep me smiling and full of faith that I would get out of my pickle. That I certainly did, and am feeling totally well these days.

Here’s wishing you a wonderful New Year, full of fresh beginnings and good fortune!

Fondly,

Dr. Leonel Hunt,

Dear Dr. Hunt,

I could start this card with cliché words like – “Words can not describe how grateful we are Blah, Blah, Blah” or I could just give you some Real Raw Emotion. Not only are you the hottest and coolest surgeon but you did am AMAZING job on my baby, and YES we are VERY grateful!!!!! Every inch of my heart thanks you and your brother!

Wishing you and your family many blessings in 2010 and beyond.

I’m not sure how many people say THANK YOU but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to do so. My progress in the last week has given me HOPE and SPONTANEITY back in my life. I still have tingling going down mostly the left leg and at the bottom of the balls of both feet. BUT MY PAIN IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Nov 13th surgery was a complete success, and for that I would like to say to both of you, THANK YOU

Sincerely,

We just returned from NYC and I have been standing in baggage claim at LAX for nearly an hour waiting for our luggage. Prior to the surgery, there is no way on earth I could have stood here pain-free for this length of time. Thanks for your great work. Hope you are enjoying your holidays.

Dear Dr. Leonel Hunt & Dr. Gabriel Hunt,

It has been 6 weeks since you and your brother performed my T-11/T-12 discectomy. I am up and riding my bike and doing all the things I love to do again. You and Gabriel fixed me up physically and even more importantly mentally as I no longer have to live with the fear of having a compressed spinal cord hanging over my head any longer. You two guys were absolutely awesome in every way. I was soo nervous from what another Dr. told me. What can I say, he was wrong and you guys showed me, with compassion , the facts and not fear tactics.

Dearest Dr. Hunt:

Thank you for fixing my problematic back and ever-spasming leg by performing the microdiscectomy on me this past September.

Working in an emergency room at a large hospital, I can now walk spasm-free and do my job efficiently without having to pause and wait for the pain to subside. I still have some residual left leg pain but I realize nerves need time to heal and I'm a patient gal.

The professionalism and humor with which you supported me was priceless. I appreciate your tremendous ability to communicate and most of all your warmth and compassion with which you handled me as a patient.

Your office is the most efficient and friendly office I’ve EVER encountered and they are absolutely wonderful people.

Thank you again for improving the quality of my life!

Sincerely,

G.D.

It's been now 8 weeks since surgery and in the past three weeks I have been walking more than a mile a day climbing some very steep stairs and sitting on planes for up to 8 hours at a stretch.

All in all I feel really good. I have no pain other than minor aches and fatigue, especially in my left leg that has not really done much prior to surgery.

I still have numbness and occasionally lilt to one side, but I am getting through airports at speeds approaching my pre-stenosis diagnosis.

I just wanted to take some time and say than you for putting my quality of life on a very positive path towards recovery.

Dr. Hunt,

How do you express gratitude to the person who has lifted you from a wheelchair?  Thanks, sounds like and empty word yet I don’t know a better one. 

The next morning after surgery (5 days ago) a good part of my pain was gone.  I know I still have to deal with other problems, but you have made a tremendous difference. 

I have not much to offer just sincere gratitude and humble prayers.

God Bless You,

Dear Dr. Hunt,

I realized that after I left my last appointment with you that I forgot to thank you for the wonderful care you provided for me while I was in the hospital.  It was very reassuring to have you stop by in the morning and then again each evening  to see how things were going and to answer my very long list of questions.  I also wanted to tell you that I sincerely appreciate your willingness to answer all my questions once I returned home.  I know very few doctors who would be willing to do that.  Thank you for going the extra mile. 

Thank you again for everything!

For you I am one of many patients you have had to deal with this year, but for me, you were the only surgeon that’s been around my spine  How truly fortunate I am that although I was one of may, you have treated me as if I was the only one! 

I can’t thank you enough for your expertise, treatment, support, sharing of your incredible brilliance and personable approach. 

L. and I thank you for being a part of our lives and for keeping yourself in our case.  Thank you for not giving up on me and for continuing to help us find a satisfactory outcome to all your hard work

Dr. Hunt,

What can I say … You ROCK!  I can’t begin to thank you for your care, compassion and great skill!  You were my savior at a time when I had no idea what would happen next.  There are no words that can express my gratitude.

This holiday season I have so much to be thankful for.  Near the top if that list is that guardian angels put me in your hands.  It’s amazing that we found you … I am so grateful!  I have always felt secure in your care and your bedside manner (the person you are) is why.  Thank you, Dr. Hunt, for your care and for being you!

Happy Holidays!

Dr. Hunt,

I am not sure if you really understand how thankful I am for the surgery you performed on me.  I know my issues were probably minor in comparison to other patients you see; however, to me they seemed major.

I’m not sure if I told you, but my father had the same surgery 5 years ago and then he had a fusion 3 years ago and he still has numbness and pain – he wants me to make him a dependant on my insurance so he can come see you.

I’m sleeping sound for the first time in months.  I’m comfortable and so much happier.   Thank you so much! 

You are awesome!

Hello Dr. Hunt,

How are you doing?  I hope that you are well.  Thank you for the referral to Dr. B.  I went and had an MRI and x-rays done.  Dr. B. said that the fusion look fine and there was no damage.  He said you did the same procedure he would have done.  He sent me for 8 weeks of physical therapy.  It is going well and I am feeling better.  Dr. B. seemed knowledgeable. 

If I have anymore troubles with my back I would fly to wherever you are if I need to have any work done.  He in no way compares to your professionalism, politeness, and overall good feeling that I am in the best hands possible.  The bar you set is very high.  I miss you and wish I still saw you on a regular basis.  You are a wonderful man and a great surgeon.

Thanks ever so much.

 Dear Dr. Hunt,

This is a note of thanks.  It’s been a little over 7 months since you and your team worked on me to correct my spinal stenosis.  I have completely recovered, except for very minor numbness in my feet, just as you said.  I have no adverse effects of any kind, and I haven’t since a few weeks after my surgery.  I can do everything now that I could before having nerve issues.  The way I was deteriorating prior to seeing you causes me to believe that I would soon be confined to a wheelchair.  Instead, I am again living a very active lifestyle.  I saw three other spinal surgeons prior to choosing you and each of you recommended somewhat a different procedure of which yours was the least invasive.  Thanks for explaining your approach relative to the others, and why it was the correct approach for my condition.  Your confidence and obvious knowledge made me fell comfortable about proceeding with the surgery.  I think often about how extremely fortunate I was that I found a surgeon as outstanding as you.

You have changed my life in a very positive way.  Thank you very much, and please thank your brother and your entire team.

Sincerely,
H. D.

Dear Drs. Leonel and Gabriel Hunt,

What you did for me two weeks ago is like a miracle.  I am back home now in Montana enjoying walking freely and easily.  I can’t begin to tell you how much it means to me, my husband, my children and grandchildren.  I will continue with the Physical Therapy, I am also going to work with a trainer to help get the core muscles back in shape.  I am so excited.  Each day is wonderful with hope and no pain.

Thank you so much for your time and caring.

Hi, Dr. Hunt -

Dear Dr. Hunt, Rene Abreu, Karen Hu, Physical Therapy Specialists, and anyone else who thinks life is over when your back goes out and you need surgery...

My name is James. For 8 years I had chronic back trouble that would come and go. After the third major flare up I promised myself I would get surgery if it ever flared up again because there was just no way I was going to live the rest of my life like that.

In Autumn of 2004 my back flared up VERY BADLY incapacitating me yet again. I immediately began to look for the very best back surgeon in the city of Los Angeles.

Let me take a moment to tell you something important about myself. I have been doing martial arts since the age of 7, and in 2004 I was 41. My all time favorite martial art is called Capoeira from Brazil. It's a combination of high kicks, fast non-stop movement, and gymnastics. It is a sport that uses Every Muscle Of Your Body, it is an amazing Cardio workout, and it pushes even the best athletes to their limits. To me it is also addictive - if you have heard of "runner's high" or "surfer's high" I can tell you that in Capoeira I have achieved that same state that only comes from pushing your body very hard in something you love doing. I have described Capoeira as one of my three favorite things in life. Since my back went out in 1996 I could barely play at the very lightest levels of Capoeira and that was only when I was having a "good phase" with my back.

I am not a sedentary person. I love being active, traveling, dancing and more. The back trouble was my Achilles Heel, always something I had to worry about, always something that made me have to "play it safe."

When this fourth flare-up happened and I began searching for a surgeon, I interviewed several until I found Dr. Leonel Hunt. Beyond the fact that he himself was a positive thinker and had the qualities I was seeking in a surgeon, beyond the fact that he came recommended from all sides, he also knew what Capoeira was. So when I met him, looked him straight in the eye and said, "I want my Capoeira back," he knew what I was talking about. He looked me straight back and said, "we'll get you there."

I went through with the surgery in March of 2005, but not before Dr. Hunt helped me achieve a different sort of goal - finding the best Personal Trainer in Los Angeles who IN PARTICULAR understood my condition and could help my strengthen every muscle I knew I was going to need for the best post-op recovery. For two months prior to my surgery I trained with Rene Abreu who taught me all about my Core Muscles and Core Training. By the time surgery came I was already in better Core condition than I had ever been at any time in my life.

The surgery went perfectly, and as soon as I was able I began Physical Therapy with Physical Therapy Specialists. Eventually my main therapist became a woman named Karen Hu. I was under her careful eye until I was "graduated" towards the end of August 2005, after which I began receiving acupuncture treatments from Yancy at PT Specialists until the end of 2005. By September 1st 2005 I began training with Rene again, starting off very slowly, and I have been training with him ever since.

What I am here today to tell you is that in February of 2005 I began training in Capoeira again - with the permission of Dr Hunt and Rene Abreu - and as of September 16th 2006 I achieved something even I did not see coming:

the Master Instructor of the Capoeira School where I train SKIPPED ME UP TWO RANKS. I laugh as I write this because even I was completely surprised and in awe by this. I love Capoeira and I do it because I love it - I have trained in more than half a dozen other martial arts and I always come back to Capoeira - but I still did expect to go up even one rank let alone two.

Please if you are reading this and have any doubts about your ability to recover after back surgery take my words to heart: Your only limits will be what you believe you can do.

With Rene I trained as best as I possibly could before the surgery, given the obvious limitations.

With Physical Therapy Specialists I did their exercises RELIGIOUSLY. Yes, I had good days and I had bad days, but I summoned up every drop of stubbornness I could find and I DEMANDED of myself that there was no room for laziness in my recovery process. Some days everything would be achy and I would want to flake off - I did not let myself do so. I had a very clear dream, and that was to be back playing freely in the Capoeira circle, and NOTHING was going to stop me from getting there. Call it stubbornness, call it bull-headedness, call it determination, call it what you want. I had no intention of being stupid about it and trying something I was not capable of, and I made sure that every move forward in my training program was cleared with Rene, with my Physical Therapy, and with Dr. Hunt. I listened to their instructions and I kept my sights on my ultimate goal. Their positive encouragement and sheer expertise was a mountain of blessings in my life.

With Rene after being released from Physical Therapy I listened to his every word on fitness, on diet, on strength training, and on Core Training. These days Rene spends extra time trying to find new ways to challenge my Core Strength because of how far I have come. Take it to heart as well that your Core Strengthening will be one of the most important things you can do to get your life back. I wish I had been taught this stuff in grade school!

Back surgery is FAR from the end of your life - I am here to tell you it can be the beginning of your new dreams.

Sincerely,
-- James P.

Hi, Dr. Hunt -

It was a genuine pleasure meeting you today. You are a lovely person and, thanks to you, I have decided to take the plunge and go ahead with my plans to move. I have wanted to attend culinary school since I was in my 20's and I thought for sure my back situation would prevent me. I was hoping to find a doctor just like you, to reassure me that my condition wouldn't prevent me from pursuing my dream. Thanks again for everything.

It is a really good feeling to know there is a doctor out there who understands my condition and is so positive about my recovery. You made my day!

Dearest Dr. Hunt,

I truly do not know where to start by saying a heartful "thank you" for having a long distance conversation with me about my up-coming back surgery. First, I cannot believe of such a true concern you have for someone you have never met on the face of this earth, and second, I also feel that perhaps someday we shall meet! With my faith in "God" nothing is impossible. I wish and pray you have an extremely successful practice as a doctor, a long healthy life, and much happiness! And, Oh yes, may "Guardian Angels" follow you constantly. You already an Angel to me.

Dear Dr. Hunt:

Thank you very much for your excellent care and help with my 2 surgeries (7/13/04 & 7/20/04) at Sharp Memorial Hosp. You are wonderful & may you continue to be as caring as I saw & felt with my surgeries.

I wish you well & the best in L.A. We shall miss you!

Love & prayers,

T.S.

Dr. Hunt--

You are without a doubt the most responsive physician I have had in my entire life. I can't tell you how great it is to know that you actually care enough about your patients to follow through so meticulously. At a minimum, it gives me peace of mind and I totally appreciate everything you do for me.

Thank you.
