SHRI. SANTOSH REDDY---------
My uncle was suffering from leg numbness along with radiating pain, and we had consulted with a couple of doctors earlier, and all of them suggested spine surgery. However, my uncle is over 70 years old, and we were not comfortable with him undergoing surgery.
After much deliberation and based on a strong referral, we took our uncle to Dr. Laxminadh for an initial consultation. We brought along all the reports, including MRI and X-rays, to have a detailed conversation with him. We were not sure how much time he could give us to address our concerns, but to our surprise, he patiently listened to us for a long time. The conversation was fantastic and made us think positively about the surgery. My uncle is a retired lecturer with good knowledge of science, and after consulting with Dr. Laxminadh, he said, "The doctor has a tremendous clarity on the subject of neurology and spinal disorders. I am happy and more clear now". There were two issues with his spine - L4-5 listhesis, L3-4 and L4-5 severe canal stenosis, which was a bit major.
Dr. Laxminadh clearly stated that the Canal stenosys could be addressed first, and then based on the anatomy of the body, they will decide whether to go ahead with screw fixation.
We had subsequent consultations with Dr. Laxminadh, and every time we visited him, we became more comfortable with our decision to go ahead with the surgery. My uncle had a successful surgery on February 1st, 2023. On the day of surgery, we got a chance to talk to Dr. Laxminadh in the pre-surgery area. As usual, he made us comfortable with his cool and composed talk, which is a must for patients. The surgery took around 4-5 hours that covered both issues. We met my uncle back in the post-surgery observation area and shifted to the room after a few hours. Dr. Laxminadh visited us that evening and talked about the recovery aspect. His confident look and talk were enough for us to turn from a curious mindset to a normal one.
It has been 3-4 weeks since the surgery, and I am very happy to say that my uncle is well on his way to recovery. He can do everything by himself, walk quite normally, and has no pain or issues. We met Dr. Laxminadh two weeks after the surgery for a scheduled checkup, and we thanked him and his team wholeheartedly for giving a new happy life for my uncle. I have never seen a doctor with such ease, composed, patient listening, down-to-earth attitude, compassionate, and after all, a good human being.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Laxminadh! I will remember him forever!
