Henry Leon Feffer (January 15, 1918 – May 9, 2011) of Bethesda, Maryland, was an American neurosurgeon.
In the mid-1950s, he was one of the first doctors to systematically test whether low-back pain could be relieved with epidural injections of hydrocortisone.
Today, physicians routinely give such injections before resorting to more invasive surgery.
He was a Washington, D.C.
spinal surgeon for more than four decades whose patients included Saddam Hussein.
