I was referred over to Dr Sethuraman. I had 2 insurance companies and was pressured into having my surgeries at a hospital the he possibly had financial ties with. Also, a small jar ointments and lotions from his preferred apothecary. It was delivered without my insurance being filed. It showed a price tag of 8,000.00!!! After my surgeries my pain is horribly worse and promised me my second surgery would resolve my pain!!
He doesn't bother with after surgery bedside visits. Laughs going to bank

After 4 visits and about to schedule my surgery, Dr Sethuramen cancelled my surgery because he didn't take Obamacare. I called BCBS and they said he is in network and should have accepted me. I filed a complaint against him. Do not trust this Dr. His concern is money, not the patient!

This Dr is not a good choice for fusion surgery, he stopped seeing me after a second neck fusion surgery that he performed and has neglected to offer any help since his billing staff messed up with a invoice that wasn't submitted to the insurance company properly. There are better doctors out there, do some research on any fusion surgeries and avoid Dr Sethuraman completely!

Dr Sethuraman operated on my back, L4-5 fusion. He performed what a second followup surgeon called a "botched" surgery that was also "archaic" (his words) compared to what other procedures that were available at the time. This second doctor also said he had seen other patients that Sethuramn had operated on that had similar issues!
This is just my experience with him! This experience was from 2010ish so he may be completely different now....

When i tell you from start to finish by far, this was a phenomenal experience. I was extremely nervous starting this 360 Lumbar Fusion journey, but consistant back pain left me no choice. Nights with no sleep, constant pain, and comfort level of -0!! He was precise, straight to the point, attentive, and comforting. The Staff is A1, I get nervous i make jokes, and they flow right with it without missing a beat. With still a ways to go,I haven't felt this good in a year! Blessing at it's Finest!

*in addition to previous review-
I ended up having surgery and Dr.S and Jimmy were great. Everyone has been so very helpful and has made going thru this a whole lot easier. Again, I am very impressed at the amount of attention & how attentive the entire office has been to any need I have. Great experience.

Dr. Sethuraman and Shahid have earned my trust! I've been suffering from neck pain for years with ringing in my ears! I finally have answers and when I need surgery I would only trust him!

For the first time in many years my neck is pain free. Dr. Sethurman was very decisive and clear on what my surgery would encompass. I was completely informed on what to expect before and after my surgery. His staff was professional and were able to respond to any questions that I had. I have no reservations on recommending Dr.Sutherman to anyone who needs spine surgery.

After scheduling my initial new patient appointment, I was very comfortable. Office atmosphere and staff very friendly and professional. Once with the doctor, I was very impressed with his knowledge and ability to understand my medical needs. Wish I could give 10 Stars !

-Andrea McCarty in Irving TX | Mar 14, 2016
Very professional, including Dr Sethuramans staff. I chose Dr Sethuraman due to his high quality of care noted on the Healthgrade website, after researching the many other doctors in his field. Once I entered his office, I was treated with individual attention and knew I had chosen the right doctor to help me advance into a better quality of life. ?????

Not only did he perform a successful l5-s1 spinal fusion after so-called experts in the dfw area wouldn't (I had had four prior 3 prior surgeries before), but he just recently did my cervical fusion and I am virtually pain free! Dr. Seth is the real deal and he is a master of his craft!
