Dr. Yogesh Pithwa

I want to share my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Yogesh Pithwa and the wonderful team at Sattvik Spine and Scoliosis Center for giving my 74-year-old father his life back. For years, we’ve held Dr. Pithwa in the highest regard after he performed a successful surgery on my father in 2018. Because of that deep-rooted trust, we didn't think twice about traveling 20 kilometers across Bangalore rather than going somewhere closer. We knew that for something as delicate as a spine operation, we wanted the hands we already trusted.

Before this surgery, it was heartbreaking to see my father in so much pain; his sciatica had become so severe that he couldn't walk more than a few meters without his left leg giving out. The eight-hour long procedure was a long, anxious wait for our family, but the care and reassurance from the hospital staff kept us grounded. Now, just 15 days later, the transformation is incredible. Seeing him walk comfortably and move without that radiating pain is a gift we don't take for granted. Dr. Pithwa has once again exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for his skills and the compassion shown by everyone at the center.

I visited the Doctor yesterday as I was not able to sleep due to backpain. I went with a MRI report and he asked me some questions and also asked me to walk in three different formats in front of him. After he advised me to get MRI printouts along-with three x-rays. After examining the Xrays and MRI printout, he explained the causes for my paid and also advised me to get one blood test to give final opinion/advice. After the blood test he explained the gravity of the problem and prescribed medicines. I recommend the doctor as he spends time on examining the reports X-rays, MRI print outs etc., before giving final opinion and/or prescribing further course of action\. My only request to the Doctor is to give extra one or two minutes time to the patients if they have some doubts to clear. Since he did not explain what medicines I should take and what exercises I can do. To this question he said that everything is explained in the printouts. From the printout , I got 50% of the info / clarifications I wanted. I am visiting the Doctor on 4th of July, I hope he would give one or two minutes extra time to clear my doubts. As I said the Doctor is very good in his evaluation of patients, only one suggestion to give a minute or two to clear the docuts.

Dr Pithwa is an extremely ************** polite and friendly doctor!!

He will explain what’s wrong with you and it’s your own moral responsibility to also research on what is actually wrong with you and then clarify your doubts with him and he’d be more than happy to explain.

I was suffering for so long that I wasn’t able to sit stand walk or do anything. And one meeting with him made me sure that in my condition conservative therapy isn’t going to help me any further and after a very sensible discussion with him I agreed to get this surgery done by him.

Nevertheless ... yes I was skeptical too and hestiated too but not about the doctor or the procedure ... it was only because we are humans and all this is darn too much to take at times.

However I’m very fortunate that I found Dr Pithwa!! And I would recommend him to all those people out there who are suffering from a spinal issue. Meet him once he is absolutely worth a shot and should be your last stop to get all your issues resolved.

This is not a paid review and I’m not paid to do so ... my name is Sunandana Sharma and I’m 30 years old. You can always shoot questions across..to double check ;)
