I have been seeing Dr Raju for close to two years. He has always been friendly and professional. He always listened. I was on massive amounts of pain medicine. He made changes and did several procedures. Now after 3 long years of pain management I am completely off pain meds. The staff is always happy and friendly and cares for there patients . I never review anything but I really appreciate all the great care. I would not be able to work without the wonderful care I receive there .

I was very satisfied with my experience the day of my procedure. Dr. Raju spent a lot of time discussing my procedure and answering my questions, so I was very comfortable knowing what to expect. The entire staff was very caring and professional at all times and it was a very positive experience. I felt pain relief that same day and would highly recommend this practice.

I RATED THE STAFF A 2 BECAUSE OF ONE PERSON. HER NAME IS SHIRLEY. I SPOKE WITH HER TWICE ON THE PHONE AND BOTH TIMES SHE WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I AM A NEW PT THERE AND WAS SURPRISED BY THE WAY I WAS TREATED. EVERYONE ELSE IN THE PRACTICE SEEMED TO BE VERY POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL INCLUDING THE DOCTOR. WHEN I WENT TO THE OFFICE FOR A FOLLOW UP, I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MANANGER AND THE WOMEN AT THE FRONT DESK TURNED,POINTED AND SAID SHIRLEY WAS. SHIRLEY REPLIED VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT I NEEDED. AT THAT POINT I LEFT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THE MANAGER IF THE MANAGER IS THE ONE WHO IS A PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THIS WONT CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM SO THAT I HAVE TO SWITCH DOCTORS.

Biography

Dr. Raju Mantena is an anesthesiologist and pain specialist based in the Houston area and has over 15 years of medical experience which he relies upon each day to successfully treat his patients’ acute and chronic pain.

He also served as the Director of Pain Management at Forest Hills Hospital in New York. “Chronic pain is debilitating for many patients and can significantly limit their lifestyle and activities. I consider the needs of each of my patients based on the background information they present and their goals in restoring a normal, active lifestyle.” According to Dr. Mantena, successfully treating chronic and acute pain requires multiple modalities, including conservative non-invasive measures (rest, ice, heat, stretching, exercise, physical therapy), medications, and injections. “No one method works for all people, and many patients require more than one treatment option. Treatment options are customized to the individual based on their physical exam, medical history and imaging studies. The goal of treatment is to decrease pain, restore function and decrease dependence on powerful medications.” - Dr. Mantena Dr. Mantena is an avid yoga enthusiast and enjoys spending his spare time with his kids.
