Dr. Sethuraman is a Mayo-trained spine surgeon who built this practice on a single principle: your interest comes before ours. That means an honest read of your imaging, every option on the table, and surgery recommended only when it’s genuinely the right call.
Clarity first, always. Here’s how a patient typically moves through the practice — honest, unhurried, and built around your result.
Dr. Sethuraman personally reviews your MRI and history, and explains what it actually shows — in plain language, not jargon.
Surgical, minimally invasive, and non-surgical paths, with a straight recommendation — and surgery only when it’s truly warranted.
If you move forward, your results are tracked against your own imaging and labs, so improvement is documented — not just felt.
The surgeon directing your protocol
If your problem is on this list, you’re in the right place — and if it isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly and point you where you need to go.
Disc problems in the neck or lower back, with or without nerve involvement.
Pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down an arm or a leg.
Narrowing of the spinal canal causing pain, weakness, or trouble walking.
Wear-related changes driving chronic neck or back pain over time.
Persistent pain that hasn’t resolved with the care you’ve tried so far.
You’ve been told you need an operation and want a straight second opinion first.
The patient’s interest is the only interest.
It’s the standard we hold ourselves to — and the reason a surgeon will tell you when you don’t need surgery. It even begins with a free review of your MRI, before you owe us anything.
Too many spine patients are handed a surgery date by the one person who profits from it — with no one offering a straight second look. Dr. Sethuraman built this practice to be that second look: read the imaging honestly, lay out every option, and operate only when it’s genuinely the right call.
Three patients. Three different paths through the practice — surgery avoided, regenerative medicine, and chronic pain resolved.
“I saw Dr. Sethuraman after having a fall and hurting my neck and shoulder. He did a thorough evaluation and helped me avoid surgery. He referred me to physical therapy with his team for a partial rotator cuff tear… I am back to my usual activities. I would highly recommend Dr. Sethuraman.”
“I had regenerative knee joint injection with exosomes. I was initially on crutches when I came, but now back to my usual activities and playing golf again. Pain is minimal. My pickleball game has highly picked up! I’m looking forward to my 3rd injection.”
“Had a herniated disk for a year and was in incredible pain 24/7. Dr. Seth immediately spotted the problem, got me ready for surgery quickly, even dealing with the insurance company, and got rid of the pain. There was an immediate change from when I went to sleep to when I woke up. I haven’t had any pain since.”
Straight answers to the things most people want to know before they send their imaging.
