I love the staff at Dr. Guthikonda’s office. They are strictly business! They get you in and out! I am usually there no more than 30 minutes. Dr. Guthikonda has excellent bedside manors. I am honored I met with him and his staff.

My surgery was an epic fail. I am 7 weeks postop and no where near even what I was like before the surgery. i spent 4 weeks in inpatient rehab, and will have outpatient rehab for many more. While I was in rehab another patient of his had to be admitted there also. I would recommend that you check out all of your options before having any spinal surgery.
