Dr. Varma's Care Philosophy
I work with every patient as if they are my family member, and I treat them the way I would treat my own family. Every patient is unique, and I believe the best care plans are tailored combinations of techniques that may include: interventional treatment, medication management, physical therapy, aqua therapy, behavioral therapies, and alternative therapies including acupuncture. Improving the quality of life for my patients is what inspires me. I'm very focused on alleviating their pain and also improving their mental and emotional health. Suffering from regular pain can be incredibly stressful.

She has been treating me for years now and she makes me feel like she really cares about my treatment plan. Not May doctors are like her. I wish they all were. We'd all be better for it. Thank you Dr. Varma! I appreciate you.

Dr. Varma has been treating me for some time, and is always my first and only choice of doctor to see. She is extremely friendly, kind, and honest. Her skills in the procedure room for RF ablations and others make her the only doctor that I have wanted working on me. She always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and she continues to talk to you and make you feel at ease the whole time. She quickly and correctly addresses any issues that you may have during follow-ups.

Dr. Varma is a wonderful doctor who always puts your needs and comfort first. She treats you as a person, and even as a friend, from the first time she meets you. If you can be anxious about procedures and treatments, as I am, she quite easily calms you down and goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. Everything is done quite quickly, without any compromises in quality. If you are looking for the right doctor for you, this is the one.

Dr. Varma is the best doctor I've ever seen. She diagnosed me accurately and quickly. My back is so much better! It's rare to find a doctor that actually cares about her patients, is very skilled and knowledgeable and works with you on a solution that provides long term relief. She actually takes the time to answer all of your questions and explains your options, consequences, benefits and risk. I would highly recommend Dr. Varma to anyone!

Dr.Varma has been handling my back problems for the last five years.I started seeing her after a lifetime of chiropractic care. I have stenosis of the neck and spine along with osteoporosis. She did numerous tests,MRI's etc. she never guessed at my care. Have gone thru trigger point injections along with radio frequency nerve burns with great results. Her exams are top notch and she will find the problem and the solution you need to treat it. Wonderful,caring Dr. --top notch.

Dr.Varma is extremely uncompassionate towards her patients and very unethical. American Spine saw me for twenty two months, then Dr. Varma ask me for medical to support my condition, Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, which she list as her specialty, I ask her to check the temperature of her extremities, she refused. I find very concerning that a Pain Management Center prescribes medication to patients they claim they have no medical on.Dr. Sherlekar diagnosed my condition, C. R. P. S. Over 10 year
