I had failed treatment for TB of LS Spine for which I was consulting two top doctors in Pune, but after 1 year the infection doubled and I was told surgery is only option now!! All other specialist doctors in Pune echoed same/similar views (except Dr Nadkarni), and thus I took advice Dr Sajan Hegade (top spine surgeon in India, Apollo - Chennai) and he clearly said no need of surgery and only medicines will cure it! For good and quick followup I decided to visit KEM in Mumbai where a family friend Dr Krantikumar Rathod (radiologist at Bombay Hospital) recommended Dr Vishal Kundnani.
Dr Vishal also totally ruled out surgery and only asked a minimal biopsy to be done at priority. The biopsy was performed by Dr Zankaria and sample sent to Hinduja, which detected MDR TB (resistance developed due to prior failed medicines!)
Dr Vishal was very friendly, and provided genuinely helpful and correct advice during my 3 year long treatment by medicine alone. For medicine followup he advised me Dr Amita Nene who is another competent MD and he maintained close followup with minimal MRI scans. At Pune doctors had me unnecessary PET CT scan, frequent MRIs+XRays+Blood tests, but Dr Vishal and Dr Amita had only required tests todo and avoid unnecessary costs incurred!
I am cured after 2 years of treatment and followed up with additional 1year of medicine as a precaution to prevent relapse.
I heartily recommend Dr Vishal Kundnani and all other doctors (Dr Krantikumar Rathod, Dr Amita Nene and Dr Bhaven Zankaria) for their expert advise in Orthopaedics, Spine, Medicine, and Radiology.
Thanks a lot!

Hello, I am from Kuwait and was suffering from back pain and leg pain and was diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis with nerve compression in spine due to spine slip of bone.
Was recommended Dr. Vishal Kundnani who had also operated on one of our distant cousins in Mumbai.
Had lot of apprehensions before we met him. The moment we met him his confidence , communication skills , composed mannerism and clinical acumen and soft smiling skills just made us become super confident. He is just awesome in explaining things in detail. We sat for 50 mins to understand everything and he answered everything in detail about options pros and cons of all options. We decided to go with surgery.
I had a Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery called Microendosocpic Decompression’s and Fusion surgery by by Dr. Vishal Kundnani.
I was walking next day. He always gave so much confidence that my recovery happened in no time and I was home in couple of days itself.
A good doctor treats you psychologically first and then physically, Dr. Vishal has it all.
Well, I had a very good experience with the doctor. I am satisfied with the operation and his accuracy at it. He is best spine surgeon in Mumbai and very much expert with his profession and I would like to recommend everyone to go to him once for any kind of spine problems specially minimal invasive spine surgery. . He also has many physiotherapist working under him.
We are extremely satisfied and thank God that we went to a right doctor.
Thanks Dr. Vishal and team for making me what I intended to be.
Monil Sonaiya.
Visited For Back Pain Treatment
Dr Vishal is not only an excellent orthopedist but also a great human being. He gives you all the attention and time to listen to all your concerns and then addresses them. His experience and diagnostic skills have no parallel. Once you are in his care, one can be rest assured that they ll receive the best possible treatment.
Dr Vishal treated me for back pain and prescribed a combination of meds and regular exercises. I was under tremendous stress as I had seen other doctors before him and had not shown any inprovment. With Dr Vishal's treatment, I was up and running in no time.
Overall, I have had an excellent experience with Dr Vishal and would recommend him to anyone with spine/ back issues without any doubt!
