Dr. Ran Lador, MD

Dr. Ran Lador gave me my life back. I was born with scoliosis and have struggled with back pain my entire life. Since 2018, my condition worsened — I started experiencing sharp, debilitating pain in my hamstrings, and my muscles would contract so severely that I couldn’t stand or walk for more than three minutes. My leg would go numb, and the pain became part of my daily life. I tried everything: physical therapy, daily stretching, consistent training, sports massages, acupuncture — for years. Nothing helped. Then in April 2025, I met Dr. Ran Lador. He performed a two-level, minimally invasive spinal canal decompression procedure instead of a fusion surgery that other surgeons offered. The surgery took 4.5 hours — and the same day, I walked out pain-free for the first time in 8 years. That feeling is indescribable. Dr. Lador didn’t just perform a surgery — he gave me back the ability to walk, to move freely, to live. It was the greatest gift I’ve ever received. Dr. Lador is a true professional, a skilled surgeon, and above all, a compassionate human being. I am forever grateful. If anyone would like to speak with me directly, my phone number is available at Dr. Lador’s clinic. – YR, Bellaire, TX

On July 12, 2023, Dr. Lador performed a minimally invasive L 4 – 5 laminectomy surgery on my back. Prior to choosing Dr. Lador as my surgeon, I conducted an extensive search to address my back problems. I also reached out to individuals who had experienced similar issues to mine, all of whom had undergone various disc surgeries involving disc removal and replacement with metal components. Their satisfaction with their outcomes led me to expect a similar procedure when I consulted Dr. Lador.However, upon examination, Dr. Lador determined that a less invasive procedure would be more suitable for my physical condition, and he thoroughly explained his reasoning. The surgery was a success, and my pain level remained consistently below a 5 for the first few days, to the extent that I only required pain medication during that initial period. I experienced some muscle spasms for 3 to 4 days post-surgery.I delayed writing this review to assess the quality of aftercare provided. Similar to m

I had a three level ACDF and am about four months into the ~ 1+ year recovery. Dr. Labor has been epic and if you do your research it appears he is highly underrated (few reviews) here in the US, a lot of his experience comes from doing groundbreaking work in Europe. If I'm not mistaken he may have done the very first mesh implant in Europe. It has been a roller coaster as a very active athlete to have such a diagnosis but he has been great doing his part. ~Ryan.

Outstanding dr. You will be fortunate to have him help you. He did micro discectomy fixed stenosis and removed scar tissue from previous surgery. Walked with NO pain hours after surgery. 1 month later no issues!!!
