Dr. Cruz performed
a REAL-LIFE
MIRACLE
IVY GARDNER
Spinal Decompression
Surgery Patient
Crossville attorney Ivy Gardner had just recently
opened her practice when four of her lumbar
snapped, beginning a nearly three-year ordeal of
excruciating pain, walking with a limp, and two failed
back surgeries in Nashville before she was told there was
no hope. Then she met Dr. Leonardo Rodriguez-Cruz, a
Cookeville Regional and Tier 1 Institute neurosurgeon
who said he thought he could help and scheduled her
for surgery. She woke up pain free and has been back in
the courtroom and in her beloved high heels ever since.
