Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible bedside manner
Dr. Awasthi performed a discectomy and a spinal fusion on me on 5-22-2024, and when he came to see me the following day he did not even ask me how I was feeling. He showed no compassion at all. He literally walked into my room and started barking orders at me, discontinued my pain medications 20 minutes before I was supposed to receive them, and then he was surprised that I fired him. I had to go elsewhere for post-op pain management because he informed me that he was not responsible for my post-op pain management medications. He told me to see my pain management doctor for that who I had not seen since February, and who also takes weeks or months to get into. Horrible doctor with a bad attitude.

Worse dr I have ever been to. He did a decompression on me. I called multiple times with concerns that my incision was not healing always got the same answer “it’s fine”. Released at 6 weeks and sent to rehab. Very first visit my incision reopened and I had to find my own doctors to check for infection and have my incision scraped open to allow for healing. Now I have the ugliest scar on my back. He does NOT take any kind of interest in his patients once he cuts into them. His office manager saw what was done to me and wanted me to let him make it right. NEVER! That man will never touch me or a family member again. He also wanted to do my husband’s surgery a week after mine. All he wants is the money.

She noticed immediate pain relief and had more mobility . Can’t wait to see how things progress . Would definitely recommend using this Surgeon.His office responded quickly to all messages left

The office staff is not friendly at all. They act like you are bothering them, don't return phone calls are answer questions. Been waiting over a month and a half for them to schedule my surgery. Even after insurance approval 3 weeks later they still haven't scheduled. And say the have no information for me on anything. Leave messages never returns phone call.
