I had L4-L5 disc prolapse with severe leg pain and numbness. Could not sit or stand for 10 minutes. I met Dr. Rufus Vasanth Raj and he first tried medicines and physio, but since pain was not reducing, he suggested discectomy. He explained pros and cons in simple language. After surgery, leg pain vanished immediately. Now I am back to office work. He is not a surgery-first doctor - he tries conservative first. Highly recommended for disc and spine issues.
