Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to Dr. Arun L. Naik for successfully operating spinal fusion (Cervical C3-5 Laminectomy and C3-6 Lateral mass fusion) on my dad and saving him before disease could damage him any worst.
more..I had done a good research to find the best neurosurgeon in Bangalore, And I must say indeed in whole country itself as he has successfully done many complicated surgeries and every patient speaks very highly of his professionalism. My dad had a very severe nerve compression and due to which he had terrible pain near neck area, shoulders, arm and below knee too. Dr. Arun L Naik looked into the MRI reports and advised for surgery as it was the only best option for the condition and he answered all our concerns, he is very soft spoken and clearly understands the problems and also verifies every symptoms calmly. My dad is 68 yrs old and he had open heart surgery in 2001 and is also diabetic, so each tests were done to make sure the spinal surgery could be done. The C3-C7 spinal fusion (decompression laminecotomy and lateral mass fusion) surgery was performed on March 10th 2018 and everything went perfectly well and he was discharged by 17th March. He is doing very well now and is walking and doing his activities on his own. I would like to thank Dr. Arun L Naik for being exceptional in what he does and very grateful to him. Wish him all happiness and success.

The back pain has been bothering me for several years. Had consulted several Doctors. Was not sure whether the problem was ortho or neuro. Added to that was my claustrophobia for MRI. After reading good reviews on PRACTO about Dr Arun Naik I went for consultation. Seeing the X Rays, he convinced me that MRI is a must and suggested for an open MRI which I underwent. He saw the reports and suggested medication for 1 moth. He is a very good Doctor and makes you feel at ease and clarifies all your queries. He has assured me that the pain will subside and I have full faith in him
