Care Philosophy

This content was provided by Dr. Vemuri "While Dr. Vemuri is a spine surgeon, he is committed to exhausting all non-surgical treatment options before considering surgical intervention. His primary objective is to help patients get back to enjoying their lives through restoring function from painful spinal conditions. His interest in minimally invasive surgeries is due in large part to increased chances for reduced blood loss, less tissue damage, and a faster recovery time for his patients."

Great surgeon but a little slow on replying to calls and questions. One rod did not stay within the screws-which concerns me. Hopeful that my back will heal soon-9 weeks out now.
