He knows his stuff, on top of the latest techniques, he is courteous, and he doesn't scare you. What more can you ask from your doctor?

GREAT TREATMENT!
Dr Pradhan is very impressive, professionally and personally. He treats you like he would treat his own family member. He has a very accomplished background, but also is very well-liked in the community. You would do well to have him look at any spine problem you may have!

I am so grateful that you chose to become a spine surgeon - and that you practise at Huntington Hospital, where my referring physician realized how skillful and how kind you are.
My life, present and future, is so much better because of you. That was a precious day when I met you and heard your words, "I can help you."You surely have helped me, and every day I thank God for you, and ask him to bless you and your family.
Please convey my gratitude to Rhionna, and to Bernnie as well. You've a wonderful team.
I end this letter with a heart filled with gratitude, and a back becoming stronger day by day. Thank you Dr Pradhan!
Very gratefully,

Thank you so much for rejuvenating my mother's back. Her recovery since surgery seems to be compounding. Yesterday she got up from her wheelchair, and without even thinking, bent down to pick something up from the floor. That would have been inconceivable before your surgery. Her spirits are finally bouncing back too, and she is bossing us all around as she used to. You worked a miracle and we're so grateful.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for going over and clarifying my spinal injuries and their impact on what type of employment I might be able to pursue. I am hoping to find a half-time job that utilizes my clinical expertise without exacerbating my pain.
Thank you again - your input was vital in coming to an equitable settlement. Now I can begin the next phase of my life.

I realized after I left your office that I had not truly expressed my gratitude for the superb surgery you performed. I am well aware that I presented a number of extra problems - obesity, the X-Stop scar tissue, and the cortisone deposits from multiple spinal injections. Yet, with your skills and ingenuity you surmounted these, and I have been free of sciatic pain ever since. I appreciate your marvelous work more than words can express.

Dr Pradhan, I again want to thank you for all you have done for me by performing as quality and professional a surgery as a patient could expect from a doctor. In my opinion, I could not have ever found any other doctor to operate on me than you. Also in my opinion, whatever you get paid will never be enough to compensate you for the service you have provided. I was terrified to have this neck operation, and put if off for several years because of my fear. You made the experience pleasant (Ha! As is that's possible), at least as pleasant as one could wish for. Dr Pradhan, thank you for being my doctor! You are a good man and your personality and the way you interact with your patients is a big plus. Again, thank you.

Dear Dr Pradhan, thank you so much for your warmth and compassion in caring for J M during his surgery.

You are indeed a blessing to our family!

Thank you so much for fixing my neck. My pain is completely gone. I know I have a long road of patience ahead wearing the neck brace, but I understand the importance of it. The world is lucky to have people like you.

I just wanted to say thanks for taking care of my fusion surgery. I am doing great. I am working out, playing soccer, walking my dogs. I am thinking about doing some bike riding too. Thanks so much for everything. You are the best!

My "thank you" seems so small compared to all you have done. But it comes from my heart. Also, thank you for getting all my doctors together. Thank you again, and please take care of yourself.

A million thanks to you for the outstanding job you did on D H's spine. You truly are a miracle worker! For the first time in over 45 years, D H is pain-free. We are overwhelmed by your skill, and by your  quiet confidence that his "junk yard" spine could be fixed. Thank you!
