Tammy flew to Germany from Oregon (USA) for 2-Level Disc Replacement with Dr. Illerhaus in late September 2022. Today she sent us this:

"Hi Jake. Tami Robertson here. I just wanted to pass on my huge success to you and to my surgeons. Beginning of May I did a hike that I never would have attempted before my back surgery. My back would have given out. I’ve avoided strenuous hikes for 6 years because of the increasing frequency of herniating my disc. Well - happy to report that not only did I do a hike but I climbed "Misery Ridge" 1,000 feet in under a mile. Yes it kicked my ass but my back was as strong as ever. I am also looking to compete in my first pickleball tournament this month. A true heart felt thanks for you and ONZ. I have my life back."

L4-S1 Total Disc Replacement (September, 2020)

"Well what can I say about my experience in Germany regards the ONZ team. Jake I can honestly say I've never experienced support, care, attention to detail during my 2 week stay across my hospital week and my medicos rehab week, the professionalism and schedule was amazing and everything was planned to precision across my 2 week stay. The team is amazing from nurses, medicos rehab team, Susanne, Dr Thomas Bierstedt , the drivers right to the hotel staff at the Courtyard truly amazing and made my stay such a memorable experience. I will never ever forget my 15 days in Germany with the wonderful ONZ TEAM and I truly hope you organise a reunion in 12 months back at the Courtyard Marriott hotel were patients can share their amazing life changing experiences and I for one would love to share my story. Jake I honestly feel like you're a friend for life and my sincere gratitude to you for starting and ending my journey is one of the most humbling experiences I will ever experience.
