The staff and physicians in this office are truly saviors to me. From the love exuding from the wonderful Savannah who greets me, to the amazing and knowledgeable Dr Seth, who is the only reason I'm walking today. I had no where to turn when I came here. And, thanks to them, I can at least STAND and fight the effects of my connective tissue disorder. I'd recommend them 1000 times over.

After nearly fifty years of playing the violin professionally in symphony orchestras I was left with a badly damaged cervical spine that caused debilitating chronic daily headaches for decades as well as many other troubling symptoms. Dr. Seth recommended anterior cervical discectomy with fusion and ultimately performed this procedure on discs C2 through C7. Following surgery my chronic headaches and other symptoms are gone, an outcome that borders on the miraculous. I could not be happier. A hearty thank you to Dr. Seth and the staff at SPI.

Thanks to SPI and Dr. Seth, I now have relief from my chronic back pain. I used to have a bone overgrowth. It was pinching my S1 nerve which was extremely painful. But now I can do everything I used to do without any horrible back pain. I am running and even jumping again!AC

There was a time when I had given up all hope of having a good life. I had been in a car accident and received grievous injuries. Almost every institution had given up hope on me being able to walk again, without help. But, my prayers were answered when I went to Dr. Seth.

I had a previous surgery done a MISI and the doctor there had a one size fits all approach which did not work for me. I came to Dr Seth to see if I had to go through life in pain from the subpar repair and he said NO! He went over the procedure he could do for me and made sure I understood. We did the surgery about a month later, right away I could tell a big difference between the surgeries I had. I no longer feel fragile like I did after the previous surgery. The hardware put in place in the Dr. Seth surgery is far superior to the “hardware” that MISI had used. I was in far less pain when I woke up from Dr Seth’s surgery than I was with the previous surgery. After both surgeries I was able to walk several hours after the procedure but with Dr Seth’s I was in so much less pain and getting out of bed was so much easier. I really think Dr. Seth cares about his patients’ well being and recovery. You are not just a assembly line procedure like at MISI. The staff is great too!!

Dr. Sethuraman takes time to talk to you, explain the procedure and process in clear understandable terms. His staff is efficient and caring. I had a 360 lumber fusion and called the office every week after the surgery asking questions. The staff was kind, understanding and patient with me. I always felt better just hearing their answers and words of encouragement. I had neck fusion surgery with another doctor and now wish Dr. Sethuraman could have done it. The 360 back fusion surgery is not easy, but having it done by Dr. Sethuraman and his staff made it much easier!

I drove down from Oklahoma after beoing referred by multiple friends and my doctor who Dr. Seth had helped. I had been suffering from years of back and leg pain and could not stand or walk for more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time. I had surgery 6 weeks ago and am now 85% improved of my pain and am slowly regaining my strength where I can now walk and bend again. I have already recommended Dr. Seth to other friends. I felt the whole staff was exremely caring to my needs.

I saw Dr. Sethuraman in July of 2019 after being referred. I had been suffering neck and left arm pain, left arm weakness, and decreased grip for several years after riding and falling off rodeo bulls. Dr. Seth made me feel immediately comfortable. I am now two month post a neck fusion and am PAIN-FREE. I have 50% of my strength and grip back. I am getting stronger every day!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Seth and his team at Spine Physicians Institute!!!!

I had a surgery at the miracle hands of Dr. Seth twice. Previously I was told that my case is too complicated and I would need many procedures to normalize my spine. But Dr. Seth solve my bad back in only two separate sessions. Thanks for all.

A few months back, I was experiencing severe back pain. Even getting up from bed was a real task for me. But then a friend recommended to me the Spine Physicians Institute located in Dallas. I decided to see what the fuss was all about. I can definitely say it was the best decision I ever made. The service was awesome, the surgery was painless and the fees were very reasonable. I cannot thank you enough.

I had lost faith in surgeons and started calling them butchers. But a friend recommended SPI to me. They listened to my problem with attention unlike my previous doctor. They believed me when I said I was in pain and not just delusional. Their treatment fixed me just like new. I am thankful to them for restoring my faith.

I had been suffering with two failed neck surgeries for over 9 years and my son found Dr. seth after extensive research. I immediately felt comfortable with his bedside manner and underwent a complex neck revision. Prior to surgery I was having severe pain and weakness in both arm and difficulty gripping things. I travel from Oklahoma to see Dr. Seth and am now 70% neck pain improved with 50% of my grip and arm strength regained. I'm getting stronger everyday!!! I highly recommend him and his SPI team!!!
“Wonderful and very attentive!!”
