Late & Disrespectful
I didn’t get called into the exam room until 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment time and I was 20 minutes early to ensure I had plenty of time to fill out all paperwork. Then I waited another 40 minutes until the doctor came into the room. He spent two minutes talking to me. When I tried to speak, he talked over me. I wasn’t even able to tell him why I was there. He started walking out of the room as I was trying to ask him a question. I got the impression that he didn’t care about me at all. I felt very disrespected and like this appointment was a total waste of my time.

Microdisectomy
I’m 8 days post surgery. Dr. Subramanian performed a microdisectomy on me. I had a 6mm herniated disc at my L5 S1, my mobility had become compromised and my pain level pre- op was a 10. I woke up from surgery and it was the first time in over 6 months that I did not have the horrible burning pain from my buttock to my ankle. I feel great! Pain from surgery much to my surprise was minimal! I am so thankful for Dr. Subramanian and his team! He has excellent bedside manners, answers each question honestly, he is straight forward and easy to talk to. His office staff and medical assistant are a great team! I have already referred a friend to see him and she was equally pleased.

Dr Subramanian cured my 20 year+ lower back problems and likely saved my marriage in the process. I have no more back pain which means no pain meds and I can finally live the life like a normal person. Thank you Dr Subramanian for giving me my life back!

Update on my surgery over a year ago. Now considered a failed back surgery. Pain worse than before surgery. Activities worse than before surgery. His comment on the failed surgery was "to get a rolling walker with a seat", so he was not at all concerned that all the pain and agony I went through with his surgery failed to help any of my problems and in fact made them worse! He does not only not care about his skill (or lack of it) of fixing spinal surgery problems, but he does not care about his patients well-being or future either. He gave me constant pain and limited mobility. I did not have that before Dr. Sub 'worked' on me. Now I have a lifetime of trying to walk, take a shower without help and being homebound. Thanks, I have nothing to look forward to but more pain. I wish I would never have gone in his door.

I was referred to Dr. SUBRAMANIAN by two people. I got an appointment and shortly after had my surgery. I am very pleased with him and his staff. A special thanks to Stephen who made sure I had everything I needed and was able to answer all my questions.

ACDF Sugery: 2 days after the surgery, I was walking slowly around the block, feeling less pain than I was before the surgery. I am now two weeks since the surgery and feeling great. My neck is still stiff, and I occasionally have muscle spasms, but I am now treating my symptoms with daily long walks, tylenol, and the occasional muscle relaxer. Dr. Subramanian has an excellent bedside manner, knows his trade, and has an attentive staff that makes sure you get what you need.

Went to him originally for a second opinion when a 3rd back surgery was recommended. He listened to what we said, did a thorough examination, including his own X-rays. Made his recommendations and explained how he would do the procedure. He was very upfront with what to expect and a matter of fact. Recovered faster with much better success after this procedure than the 2 prior procedures by a different surgeon. He has 4 locations in the Houston area and the office staff was friendly.
