"Before getting treatment, I was in so much pain. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t drink water, and couldn’t touch my lips—not even with my tongue. The pain was so bad that I couldn’t go to work. I dealt with this pain for three weeks. I went to three different hospitals in the Bronx until my sister told me to come to Columbia. In the Columbia emergency room, they gave me a referral to Dr. Sekula’s practice. Now after treatment, I feel so much better. I can do everything that I couldn’t do before while dealing with the pain—I can eat and drink again! I am so grateful to have received treatment from Dr. Sekula for making me feel so much better."
