Dr. Varma and his team are absolutely exceptional - I can't say enough great things to describe my experience and results! I've had various degrees of lower back and sciatica pain for about 20 years with a number of doctors recommending either a fusion of L4/L5 and L5/S1 or disc replacements. The last month before my surgery with Dr Varma, I was in excruciating pain - essentially laying on the floor, not being able to walk much, taking all sorts of drugs that didn't work, and screaming due to pain. I made an appointment to see Dr. Varma with my wife after having researched "best spine doctors/surgeons in NYC" and reading all his amazing reviews on various sites. On my first visit he literally spent one full hour with us in the room discussing the basics, answering all our questions in depth, reviewing MRIs, X-Rays, and all sorts of reports I brought in detail before discussing symptoms and my various options. And then he recommended a discectomy (a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes a damaged or herniated portion of a spinal disc to relieve pressure on spinal nerve roots) - nobody else recommended that option before and I absolutely loved that recommendation because it's less invasive than a fusion or disc replacement but still gives me the option to do either of them down the road, if needed. Dr. Varma has a very full schedule but his team squeezed me in right-away due to the level of pain I was in. Christine and the rest of Dr. Varma's team was extremely personal, kind, proactive, solution-oriented, and professional - everything went smoothly. On the day of surgery, at the hospital, it was no different. And, most importantly, I woke up from surgery without any pain whatsoever and walked out of the hospital 5 hours later. Absolutely incredible! It's clearly evident that Dr. Varma is not only extremely knowledgeable and skillful in his craft but super passionate about it. If you need another opinion or are far enough down the road looking for a surgeon, you're in excellent hands with Dr. Varma and his team!

Dr Varma is nothing more than a pill popping office. Better yet just a factory of patients waiting for medicine

Dr Varma is the most caring doctor I have had interaction with. I will recommend him highly

Dr. Varma is very thorough in his examination and spends a lot of time going over test results with his patients.

Caring. Easy to communicate with.

Dr. Varma is a caring, professional doctor. He is very thorough in listening to your questions and answering them. He made me feel very comfortable before my surgery and checked up on me a few days later to see how I was recovering. Thank you Dr. Varma.

Did a great job in my surgery. Feelng fantastic! I trust him and I think he is very proffesional.

My visit is always positive and productive! Dr Varma answered all my concern regarding my upcoming back surgery. Facility is clean and welcoming. The Dr asst was very accommodating and courteous as well as the front desk staff! I would definitely recommend this Dr and facility!

I feel that moving forward, the surgery is the only option for me.

Multi Procedures over several months have all gone well and as planned and discussed allowing for repair to the areas that needed immediate relief through surgical solutions.

Loved Dr. V. Varma! I just wish I was able to get the X-rays he wanted me to get during my visit. He was sorry that I wasn’t able to because the technician(s) were backed up. Again, loved Dr. Varma as well as the office.

Fast, professional, efficient. Couldn't have been better.

Dr. Varma reviewed my Pre and Post surgery x-rays with me today and pointed out the apparent differences. He always takes the time to clearly explain procedures and expectations. He is professional, extremely pleasant, and exudes confidence all of which makes me feel safe and confident.

Dr Varma was prompt and explained my condition with real clarity. His staff was very pleasant and I left feeling very good about the experience.

I felt very pleased with Dr.Varma. He explained everything the simplest way as possible. He asked the right question and verified my results with X-rays and my personal doctor results. And told me to do some at home stuff and if that didn’t work out for me. he gave me some good options. I’m very pleased with he services highly recommended
