K. L. Barnes Patient

I first visited Dr. Munish Gupta a year after a cervical spine fusion that done by another physician who was not part of Washington University/BJC system.  Sometime after that surgery, I began to notice that my chin seemed closer to my chest, I was always looking out over the tops of my glasses instead of through them and I had a large double chin.  I was not sure that I had a problem and felt like could be my imagination.  Dr. Gupta assured me that it was not my imagination – my diagnosis was kyphosis- a forward curvature of the spine.  I had surgery in April 2017 and I couldn’t be any happier with the outcome.  I stand up straight and I have gained back 1 1/2″ in height.  I feel like a new person with a renewed spirit and it is because of the surgery so skillfully performed by Dr. Gupta.  His staff is also absolutely wonderful and they are very caring toward the patient.  I love Dr. Gupta-he changed my life and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who a has a back problem.  Skip the rest and go to the BEST!  I did.
