I was injured in an auto accident about 2 years ago. I tried injections, chiropractic, acupuncture, pt and my condition continued to get worse. Dr Ponnappan diagnosed my condition, performed a same day surgical procedure and fixed my neck. Most symptoms improved immediately, by day 3 I had no pain. I can’t thank Dr Ponnappan enough for getting me back to my normal life. I would highly recommend Dr Ponnappan.

After meeting the Dr I have 100% faith in him. He takes time to explain all options and takes time to listen to you as a person. With this Surgeon you are not just a number...

I have known Dr. P for more than 8 years. I have come to trust him with major surgery procedures that he has done to me, cervical and most recently lumbar. I trust him with my life!! He has had such positive impact on my life. I can’t thank him enough.

Dr. Ponnappan (while at Rothman) did my cervical spine surgery a couple years ago and I've been doing great ever since. Never had any pain at all while recovering. His bedside mannerism is wonderful and always took his time with you explaining procedures and answering questions. Highly recommend him!

The best. Interviewed 3 terrific doctors before doctor P removed 6 disks in my neck. Yes you read it correctly. He talks to to you, explains it well, did a GREAT job, and has excellent followup care. LOVE HIM. I cant write enough here about him. Rothman made a huge mistake. ..they let him out the door.
