This Dr. is the epitome of unprofessionalism .As a referral patient he was totally unprepared and seem to care less about my history or prior treatment modalities.He seem to know little or nothing at all of long term problems associated with harrington rods in patients with coronal-plane curvature of the spine. A problem I have had for 30 plus years, but most troubling was his uncaring and arrogant attitude of a disabled person seeking professional help.

I met Dr Arulkumar for the first time to manage my chronic neck pain. Very efficient office and staff. He explained the procedures he recommends. He took a lot of time and was very thorough. I look forward to treating with him.

Takes a wholistic approach, answers all my (many!!) questions, pursued multiple treatment modalities until my pain was resolved. Great staff, also.

I had two issues that Dr. Arulkumar treated. I had pinched nerves in my back and had suffered for years with bad knees. I met him through a friend who recommend him in Oklahoma City. He was very interested in my problems and worked with me to devise a plan to stop the pain. Within a day , my back pain was cured with a 10-20 minute outpatient procedure. The same with my knees, he was able to give me immediate relief of the pain. I recommend this physician to anyone who has chronic pain, he is very attentive to my needs as well as compassionate, and he listens. My outlook on life has changed, instead of complaining about constant pain, I am able to enjoy walking and doing activities I haven't been able to do in years.
