Barnes revision patient

I cannot sing Dr. Gupta’s praises enough.  I have idiopathic scoliosis. I had problems off and on for many years, but it was only diagnosed at the age of 57.  At that time I had spinal fusion of the lumbar area and I was okay for about 10 years, but then people started asking me why I was standing crooked and I noticed when I would go by a mirror in a store, I seemed to not only be standing crooked but also bending over a little and people were also asking me all the time if my back was hurting. I finally made an appointment with Dr. Gupta.  I was scared, surgery recovery had not been easy and now I was 20 years older.  Dr. Gupta’s team immediately put me at ease and assured me that Dr. Gupta was a caring doctor.  That was an understatement.  I had reconstructive surgery of the lumbar area and then fusion up to T-4 in 2016.  The surgery has been a wonderful success.  I stand very straight and have absolutely no pain!  Dr. Gupta is not only an extremely talented physician, but one who cares immensely about his patients.  That compassion is contagious and it is evident by how his team works with you from the beginning.  How blessed I was to have made that call.
