Salt Lake City, UT — After years of pain, confusion, and uncertainty, Heather Silveira finally found the care and clarity she had long been searching for, thanks to the expertise and compassion of Ƶ of Utah Ƶ spine surgeon, Brian Karamian, MD.
Heather, who underwent revision cervical spine surgery with a prior two-level displacement, had previously faced complications and disappointing results from spine procedures performed elsewhere. “There was a lot going on in my body that I didn’t understand,” Heather said. “And after some bad experiences, I honestly didn’t know who to trust.”
That changed when she met Dr. Karamian.
From the very first appointment, Heather says she felt heard, understood, and respected. “Dr. Karamian was incredibly confident and capable, but he also took a conservative, thoughtful approach,” she said. “He truly listened to me. That made all the difference.”
Now recovering and regaining function and hope, Heather is deeply grateful for the outcome and for Dr. Karamian’s commitment to her care. “Progress is real,” she said.
“I finally feel like there’s a way out of the pain. I’m so thankful I found him.”
