Testimonials:

“I had 7 or 8 previous back surgeries done by other surgeons. When I went to Dr. Shridharani I had extreme pain in my right leg and lower back. Dr. Shridharani was able to perform an operation that has dramatically decreased my pain. Everything he said that was going to happen did happen.”

- Dennis Walden Beall

“I was involved in a car crash and had a lot of pain in my neck because 2 cervical discs (C5-6 and C6-7) were basically crushing my spinal cord. Dr. Shridharani gave me my life back. The pain radiating down my arms is gone. He listens and he has empathy for his patients. It’s rare to find a doctor who has so much patience.”

- Susan Santucci

“I was an accident and 2 weeks after the accident I woke up with arm and leg weakness. It progressed and got worse. I went to a surgeon, but we were not comfortable. I sought a second opinion and we saw Dr. Shridharani. I had a compressed spinal cord and pinched nerves and had lost feeling in my hands and was walking as if I had a stroke. After the surgery I regained the feeling and strength in my hands….and I was walking normal again. Dr. Shridharani did a terrific job!”

- Akwasi Owusu

“I had 3 back surgeries by another surgeon and was left with a lot of pain in my legs and feet. Then, I went to Dr. Shridharani. He was able to perform a surgery and it worked--my pain is gone!”

- Lisa Hagan

“I had severe arm pain, arm weakness, and problems walking. I was referred to Dr. Shridharani. The MRI showed a problem in my neck. I could have been paralyzed. He spoke with me and my entire my family and explained everything to all of us. The surgery took 12 hours and it was a success. He was great. He was a blessing to me….I wanted to hug and kiss him. Everything he told me came true. I am 100% today thanks to Dr. Shridharani. I pray for him every day.”

- William Jupiter

“For 2-3 years I had lower back pain. I tried Physical Therapy and even traction and none of it worked. I had to constantly take pain killers. The pain finally traveled down my legs and I couldn't stand it any longer. Dr. Shridharani operated on me and it changed my life. I came out of surgery smiling from ear to ear! I am now completely pain free so I don't need the pain killers anymore. Thanks to Dr. Shridharani I walk a mile and a half a day and can look forward to a normal life.”

- Ruth Heath

“I had sever pain that traveled down my left arm and eventually my hand went numb. I needed surgery on my upper back to have 2 discs replaced. I had the surgery on Jun 29th and was out in 2 days with absolutely no pain. I took my last pain killer the day after surgery. This was by far the best experience I've ever had. Dr. Shridharani was caring, knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend him to anyone”

- Judy Greenwell

“I had surgery in Germany a few years ago. I began to have numbness in my legs and eventually couldn’t walk anymore due to a lumbar stenosis. Dr. Shridharani performed revision spine surgery and gave me my life back. I wish I could tell the world about him.”

- Lynell Green-Keyes

“Dr. Shridharani showed a vested interested in my surgery. He took his time, sat down with myself and my family, and answered every question we had clearly and thoroughly. I am now completely pain free and I highly recommend him.”

- Eric Lee

“I was in excruciating pain….I couldn’t even sleep because of the pain in my back. My pain was gone as soon as I woke up from surgery. I was so happy I started crying and Dr. Shridharani gave me a big hug. My family really appreciated how patiently he listened to them and answered all of their questions.”

- Diane Vento

“I had a work injury that left me with severe pain in my right leg, my left leg was numb and it limited my ability to walk. My primary physician gave me pain medication that didn’t work, and I had physical therapy without success. Dr. Shridharani diagnosed me with lumbar stenosis and did not push the surgery on me. He was extremely bright, professional and completely thorough. I decided to have the surgery and I feel like anew person. Nothing he ever recommended was challenged by workman’s comp and I am six weeks ahead of schedule on my recovery.”

- Tom Gazda

“Meeting Dr. Shridharani was the best thing that ever happened to me. I had been in pain for over 4 years and since I’ve had my minimally invasive procedure I’ve been pain free. I’d recommend him to anyone.”

- Eunice Pittman

“I’ve had surgery in the past that had done absolutely nothing for my pain. I met Dr. Shridharani and he was able to operate on me very quickly and within a day of the surgery I finally had no more pain. I’m a retired police officer and I’d highly recommend Dr. Shridharani.”

- Tom Quigley

“I had no feeling in my hands. I had cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy and it causes problems with my balance and coordination. Dr. Shridharani was magnificent. I feel like a new person.”
