Dr. Rakesh Donthineni, MD

The doctor was okay but the nursing staff was horrid. I almost walked out I got so nervous. They were unable to get my IV in and after the third person got it in one person pulled it half out on accident and blood went everywhere. For how much it cost I should not have had to walk from where they put the IV in to the operating room caring my own IV bag and they charged 38000 for one cervical branch block and one steroid injection.

He has been my mom’s surgeon and we are very pleased with the care she received. Her back is much better now and we are so happy.

Dr. Donthineni is an outstanding spine surgeon who transformed my life. His skillful hands and in-depth knowledge of spine surgery made the entire process smooth and successful.

I am incredibly grateful to have him as my spine surgeon. His approach to soft tissue tumor management is both meticulous and compassionate. He thoroughly explained the treatment options, ensuring I felt well informed and involved in the decision making. He gets a big high five from me.

Dr. Donthineni's experience in managing osteoporotic fractures is remarkable. He carefully evaluated my condition and developed a comprehensive treatment plan. His surgical skills and attention to detail resulted in a successful procedure, and his postoperative care played a vital role in my recovery.

I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Donthineni for spine oncology treatment. His extensive knowledge and experience in managing spine tumors gave me confidence throughout the process. Dr. Donthineni's dedication to personalized care, combined with his surgical expertise, ensured that I received the best possible treatment outcome. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Donthineni is an exceptional spine surgeon. His expertise and precision in performing spine surgeries are unparalleled. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and patiently addresses any concerns. Thanks to Dr. Donthineni, I regained my mobility and quality of life. I am grateful for his skill and compassionate care.

I was referred to Dr. Donthineni because my GP believes he is a skilled Orthopedic Surgeon. I did not meet him, however. I was given to his PA, who seems very competent, though not personable or sympathetic at all. If you make an appointment with a doctor, they should at least give you 5 minutes. I guess I’m not important enough to bother with.

Dr. Donthineni is the best. I can confidently recommend anyone who has back issues that most medication can’t treat.

Thanks, Doc. After struggling with backpain for years, you are the one that ended my struggles.

Dr. Donthineni and his staff are awesome. They were very friendly to my grandpa when he went there for spinal surgery.

This is the doctor that cured me of chronic pain. For this, I will always be grateful to him.

This is not on Dr. Donthineni, his skill or performance. It is on his office who took 6 weeks to return a call to schedule an appointment ignoring calls from me and professional staff. The wrong paperwork was in the room, communication about the surgery and the office's scheduling was not offered, I found out 40 hours prior to surgery what time I was to be there which was different than what the hospital told me, I did not receive pain medicine due to an incorrectly filled out prescription and no appropriate response from the office to correct it. I was scheduled for a follow-up in Berkeley on the 29th only to get there and no one was in the office! I still have not received a return call to explain how they scheduled me and then were not there, nor an apology, nor an inquiry about a follow-up. My experience with other professionals was that Jackie is known not to return calls even to medical staff. I do not understand how a skilled doctor allows his office to function this way.

After undergoing back treatment, I was pleased with the results. Aside from the quality medical care, I will always be thankful to the whole team for obeying covid-19 rules for the sake of their clients. Thanks.

Dr. Donthineni helped my mom with her spinal disc issues. It was a challenging process, but he pulled it off with ease. I haven’t heard my mom complain of back pain since.

He is a lifesaver! I thought I would live with back pains for life until I met him. After a few procedures, my back is now painless.

If you’re looking for a top-quality orthopedic doctor, then Dr. Donthineni is your man. He is highly skilled, and his staff is among the friendliest I have seen so far. They made my grandpa feel at ease, as they gave him world-class treatment.

Dr.Donthineni is a godsend. He has been taking care of my uncle, who suffers from cancer, so far, so good. Other doctors had only given him two months to live, but it’s now eight months, and uncle is still with us.

He is a pro at joint issues, and his office has a welcoming feel to it. Jackie made things even better with her friendly chit-chat. I would go back.

Try Dr. Rakesh if you have chronic back pain. He has the remedy. Mine was so bad that my productivity was going down, but I am fine now, and it’s all thanks to him.
