What You Need To Know
Dr. Matthew Kaufman, co-director of the Center for Treatment of Paralysis and Reconstructive Nerve Surgery, recently performed a life changing procedure for patient Greg Carr. Greg, a resident of Toronto, Canada, had breathing issues for years before he was diagnosed with diaphragm paralysis. There weren't any treatments available in Canada for his condition. However, his doctor heard about the procedure being offered at the Center and recommended it to Greg. The procedure corrects the function of the diaphragm muscle. Dr. Kaufman has performed more than 700 of these procedures at Jersey Shore since 2016, attracting patients from across the country and the globe.
