Hell! My son is 23, just graduated college. He has suffered from lower back pain for a few years, probablly from kicking the football in middle and high school. He has had 2 MRIs over the last couple years. It has shows worsening degenerative disk and torn ligaments. The orthopedice tried doing a local steroid injection a week ago but he has not seen any relief from that. Would you be able to offer any other thoughts if we brought in his MRI? Thank you
I am a patient of Dr. Subramanian. I had a micro-discectomy @ L4/L5 in early January. Prior to surgery, I could hardly walk, was in an incredible amount of pain, could not sit without experiencing extreme pain, and had 2 unsuccessful injections with another physician. Furthermore, the physician that ordered and performed the injections didn't even order an MRI - he worked exclusively from a CAT scan I had done at the ER in early December. I was bedridden from the beginning of December up until the surgery. Getting to any medical appointments was an ordeal. When I was finally referred to Dr. Sub, he and his team worked quickly to assess my condition, offer solutions to alleviate my pain, and quickly scheduled my surgery.
Me and my husband were overwhelmed with the professionalism and compassion of his team. I highly recommend Dr. Sub and his team.
I made an appointment with Dr. Subramanian after months of pain and seeing many other doctors. One of them had me complete an MRI on my back and then basically told me nothing about it or if he could even help me. The only thing I left that day knowing is that I had some issues with my spine, and that he βcouldβ fix it but that he wasnβt going to do that right now. I already had one injection/block that was unsuccessful and several medications and I had been suffering for over 5 months with zero answers. I came home that day feeling hopeless and desperation set in. The next week I decided to seek out another doctor, only this time I would take more time to choose who to see. From the moment the young lady answered the phone and I explained quickly my situation, she said βYou have to come in and see Dr. Subramanianβ She quickly scheduled the first available appointment. I had already been out so much time and money and was reaching the end of my rope. I just wanted my normal life back! I stopped jogging and all exercise due to the pain. The day of my appointment could not come fast enough. Upon being called back to the room I immediately met with Stephen. He was very attentive and truly listened to all of my concerns. I completely broke down on him, and he assured me Dr. Subramanian was going to be able to help me. Sure enough Dr. Subramanian came in and told me exactly what was wrong (based on the MRI report I had) and what we could do to correct it. I am pretty sure I broke down in tears again, only this time it was happy tears. I have never met a doctor like him. You know you are in great hands immediately! I had a microdiscectomy done on November 6th, and went home the same day. Everything went well and even my husband was impressed with him after he let him know how it went and how I was doing. I am feeling so much better now. I am able to get back to most of my normal activities other than jogging (have to wait a few more weeks) and I am back to work at my office. I cannot thank Dr. Subramanian and his staff enough. Last year was a little rough, but 2020 is looking very bright! I am truly grateful.

One year ago I was in so much pain. Dr. Subramanian gave me my life back.At 52 I ride motorcycles, love working in the yard and playing with my dogs. I was feeling like i couldn't work or play comfortably. Dr. Subramanian did my surgey in December 2018 and I am back to 100%. Nothing is slowing me down. I recommend him to anyone I meet that has back problems. He is The Best. Totally believe in his staff and his team.
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. You can't go wrong with Dr. Sub!
For 19 years I have suffered from lower back pain caused by herniated discs in my lower back. I had tried everything from Cortisone Injections to Traction but did not want to have surgery in my twenties. Finally at 38 I decided enough was enough and met with multiple Surgeons. Dr. Subramanian told me all the possible negatives not pushing surgery on me. He then explained the Lateral approach which I was unaware of. His entire staff made me confident that he was the right surgeon for me. My surgery was on April 26th. I had a lateral double fusion & discectomy. I feel like a new woman already. No nerve pain for the first time in 19 yrs. Still healing yet I am very confident that this was the best decision I have ever made. Thank you all so much!
I have had back pain since August ,2017 and I tried Everything to relieve the pain form Rest,Physical Therapy, Medicine and Cortisone shot. I had some little releaf from my pain,But it All ways came back. I did a lot of Research on possible back surgery with talking to surgeon's and YouTube videos. Dr Subramanian made me feel 100% Comfortable and Confident that if I was to get this procedure "Microdiscectomy" done I would feel So Much Better. I have had this done, And Now going on three weeks and I am Truly Blessed and Thankful for Dr. Subramanian. I have Zero Pain and feel 100% Better. Truly, Truly Blessed. Thank You So Much...
After seeing two Orthopedists, I finally took a co-workers recommendation to see Dr. Subramanian. I had a herniated disk in my lower lumbar region and the pain from it was so debilitating it had negatively affected every part of my life. I couldn't lift/play with my 1 year old daughter, I was missing work during our high season, and I was no longer a contributing member to my household (cooking, cleaning, etc.). After trying physical therapy and a cortisone shot, Dr. Subramanian helped me understand my surgical options. In November, I had a microdiscectomy at 10:00 am and was back in my home by 12:30pm. Immediately following the surgery, I felt relief from the constant pain I had been in over the course of a year. Embracing surgery has been one of the best decision I've ever made. The procedure Dr. Subramanian performed gave my daughter her mother, my husband his wife, and my job the employee they hired. I cannot say enough kind things about Dr. Subramanian and his staff. It's been about a month since the surgery and my back and sciatic nerve pain seem like a distant memory. THANK YOU!!! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Dr. Subramanian! You gave my the greatest gift of 2017: MY LIFE BACK!
I came to Dr. Subramanian for help, and was quite surprised with how well everything has worked out. He was very confident in his abilities to have me upright and going again. I was stuck laying down for 3 months. I went to several chiropractors with zero results. As soon as I had my surgery, I was up and around the same day. I have now been out of pain since the surgery. I can't emphasis how much this Man has changed my life. If you have back pain, just save your time with everyone else and come see Dr. Subramanian. You will not regret it.
I miss Tony in Dr. Sub's office. He was quick to get things done. I saw Dr. Sub on Friday Sep. 29, 2017. I'm still waiting on them to get my prescription into Kroger's correctly, 3.5 days later and still in pain. I'm not sure about Tony's replacement!!! No returned phone calls to date. Thats not going to keep me from Dr. Sub!!! He's the BEST in my book.
