Spine UCI

I have been suffering from a disc herniation in my neck for months. I finally was sent to Dr. Nitin Bhatia at the UC Irvine Spine Center. The care there was great. Dr. Bhatia’s staff was very nice and helpful. I emailed them via his website at
and they got me in for an appointment ASAP. I really liked that Dr. Bhatia didn’t try to convince me to have surgery immediately (like a couple of other surgeons had done). Instead, we tried physical therapy and light medications to help the pain. Unfortunately, they didn’t work, so I ended up having surgery. It went great. I woke up and my pain was gone. Recovery was pretty easy, and I haven’t felt better for as long as I can remember. Not only was Dr. Bhatia an outstanding surgeon, but his bedside manner and compassion made me and family fell at ease in a very stressful time. We couldn’t be happier with the care.
