The entire pre op, surgery and postop was a very positive experience. Dr Raj Pal was very approachable and thorough. His staff was excellent. Pa Jennifer was so personable and attentive She explained everything and my follow up appointments with her have been great. I have had a great recovery and am now symptom free. I would recommend this surgeon and staff and give high ratings all around.

I recommend Dr Rajpal and his team 100%! For me it was 2 surgeries, multi level cervical and lumbar fusion to reverse and prevent further deterioration and collateral issues. He is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and without question talented. While waiting for the final outcome, only 7 weeks out of the second surgery, anticipate the outcome to be excellent.

From the first appt and explanation of mri saying he could help. After cigna insurance denied surgery that was scheduled for Jan he met with their dr still denied as time passed pain and symptoms worsen. I would cry when going to appts I hurt so bad tingling hands aching arms constant headaches hurt to hold my head hands getting weaker by the day. Once again denied surgery in Feb again. Once again he went to meet with cigna dr to plead my case. Finally they agreed. I was so excited Feb 23 surgery it was instant relief. Tingling stopped aching. I am now in physical therapy and doing well. I can't thank him enough for giving me my quality of life back. Life is good again anxiously waiting to return to work soon.

I have been in the medical field for over 25 years. We used to refer to Dr Rajpal although I had never seen him in a business or personal setting. When I found myself needing to see a spine doctor, I actually chose Dr Rajpal because he was very highly recommended. His office is very professional and every person who works for him are awesome. His front desk people are very warm and considerate. The two PA's that work for him, Jen and Trenton are highly educated and very knowledgeable and personable and I was very impressed with Dr Rajpal and have nothing but admiration for him and his office. He is very thorough and has a top notch bedside manner. I have been to both his offices and were greeted by very professional staff. I highly recommend Dr Rajpal to anyone needing care for their spine issues. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Dr Rajpal is a great teacher and I enjoyed listening to his lectures regarding the type of surgery I needed. My surgery was successful with Dr Rajpal and would definitely see him for any future issues.

Dr. Rajpal was my hero coming in to remove an unknown mass off my spine in June 2020. He and his team have been so personable and considerate while at the hospital for my emergency surgery and through recovery. He was able to explain my surgery and recovery simply and in a reassuring way that gave me and my family confidence during a scary time. Im so grateful to his skills and kindness.

I’m 67 years old, I’ve had back problems for about 20 years. I had a previous surgery in 2011 that failed. I didn’t do my du diligence and went with a doctor that was associated with my the doctor that gives me cortisone injections. I knew I was going to be needing a double fusion so I started interviewing doctors. I found Dr Rajpaul and decided that I wanted him to do my surgery. By the time I had the surgery I couldn’t feel my legs and only walk a block or so. When we went to the hospital for the pre-surgical class they asked everyone who their doctor was. When I told them Dr Rajpaul, they all said the same thing, you couldn’t ask for a better doctor. Surgery was around 5 hours. When I made it to the room they kept asking for my pain level. I told them I didn’t have pain. I guess Dr Rajpaul used something called Duranorph during the surgery. Honestly I felt very little pain in the two days that followed and after I got home. Four days after surgery I walked a half mile. By two weeks post op I was walking 35 miles a week. I’m now at 3 months post op. I’m doing some light weights, and riding an assault bike, (It’s a type of stationary bike), for an hour at a shot. I’m getting around 50 miles a week walking now. I’m still working out some kinks but I’m light years from where I was. If you want to stack the odds in your favor, you’ll go with this guy. In my opinion he’s the best.

I had a great experience with Dr. Rajpal. After suffering and trying other less invasive means of dealing with my back condition for literally years I sought out a consultation/second opinion with Dr. Rajpal based on the recommendation of a friend. The main reason I went to Dr. Rajpal was because my friend told me that he was a conservative surgeon that did not just automatically believe that everyone needed surgery. After all the last thing I wanted was surgery and the recovery that went along with it. My case was, I’m told, a complex one. With that said Dr. Rajpal looked at my case and indicated that he believed an aggressive approach would be the best course of action. I can not say that this was painless but I do believe I got no nonsense information from Dr. Rajpal and PA Jennifer T and PA Trent Stickney to make a well informed decision. I’m now two months out of surgery and believe that I’m on the road to a full recovery because of Dr. Rajpal’s expertise. Dr Rajpal and his staff were all great. Very professional and polite. I would highly recommend Dr. Rajpal.
