Dr. Gururau Sudarshan, MD

Those of you who deal with chronic pain know what a burden it can be. Having the right doctor and staff makes all the difference. I feel super lucky to have found Dr. Sudarshan and Michelle Khosla CNP at Cincinnati Pain Physicians when I moved to Ohio last year. The 2 of them and their staff genuinely care about their patients.When I see Michelle, she is attentive and really listens, especially when I am frustrated with my pain. I receive injections from Dr. Sudarshan. He is very professional and gentle, especially when it comes to scary needles. And- he always has on great music during the injection : )There are days when the wait time is long. But, I know that just means they are giving each patient the time and attention they deserve.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sudarshan for many years. His caring and professionalism go far above when it comes to personal interaction with his patients. He always gives me his attention and his quiet concern for my comfort is something unique these days. He has provided me with comfort that has enriched my life. In additional his assistant Michelle adds to the confidence that I made the right choice when I first came to his office. Even the office staff is cheerful and prompt. Dr. Sudarshan is indeed a blessing in my life.

I came to Dr Sudarshan after seeing several pain management doctors that couldn't get to the source of my pain. And went to him hoping he would be able to help me feel better didn't want to continue taking opioids for the fear of addiction. And all the shots and injections were not helping. He was able to get to the source of my pain and we discussed a possible solution we tried the spinal cord stimulator trial and that provided the relief I was looking for. So after the trial discussed going forward with implant and received implant and that was relief I needed. I'm so thankful for Dr G

Comfortable, timely and courteous. Excellent pain management skillfully administered.

My intention was to NEVER go back to CPP. I had a horrible experience with one of the doctors who has, thankfully, left the practice. However, my spinal surgeon suggested Dr. Sudarshan at CPP. Because I fully trust him, I went back to CPP. He was right. Dr. Sudarshan is a complete opposite of the previous doctor. He listened to what I said and I didn't feel I had to talk at warp speed to get in what I had to say! Dr. Sudarshan understands what a doctor should be. I was shocked. A lot of doctors do not. I no longer go back to doctors who are halfway out the door while I'm asking questions. I've been blessed, mostly, with good, kind, doctors. It looks like I'll be adding Dr. Sudarshan to my list!!

Cincinnati Pain Physicians (CPP) has been a premier pain practice for which I had been a patient for many years. Up until my physician left and went to Beacon in 2021. Quite unfortunately, I thought that following him was the right move to make but I found out very quickly it was not! The difference in the approach to patient care at CPP v. Beacon is remarkable. At CPP the providers take the time to listen and actually look at you rather than the computer. All of the staff are amazingly kind and caring. Michelle enters a patient room prepared to interact with the patient and takes the time to listen. The environment is calm and relaxing, not rushed or chaotic. Dr. Sudarshan is an excellent practitioner and very skilled. I highly recommend this practice to those who have chronic pain issues.

Each time I see Dr.Sudarshan or Michelle I feel grateful for what they do to reduce pain from arthritis.

Dr. G was an excellent collaborator. He assessed and educated, offered options and removed barriers.

The staff and physicians at Cincinnati Pain Physicians are professional, kind and very efficient. Dr. Sudarshan is very empathetic and has a wonderful sense of humor.

Excellent! MDs and staff are so professional and kind. Thorough explanations, questions answered. No rushing. Very compassionate care. So pleased we found this practice. Thank you Dr Sudarshan and Dr Feng!

Dr. Sudarshan is an outstanding doctor. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring and sympathetic to my situation. He runs a very professional office and has an excellent staff. Whether its for an office visit or a procedure, by far the best staff I could ever ask for. Plain and simple, I would not go anywhere else! Thank-you Dr. G

Dr Sudarshan has impressive credentials with regards to his skills and experience as a well-respected pain specialist in Cincinnati. I am a retired surgeon with chronic pain problems related to radiation to my spine and he has helped me significantly. He is personable and thorough in his evaluation and always spends time listening to my concerns and then explaining his treatment recommendations to me. He is complemented by a pleasant and responsive staff who return my calls in a timely fashion.

I have been a long time patient of CPP but only a short time patient of Dr. Sudarshan. I have been living with debilitating pain due to military service. The quality of my care under Dr. S has been exceptional. He is an incredibly kind, attentive, well meaning, and I can now have procedures done without sedation. He takes the extra step to ensure you receive the correct treatment. For example, I visited Dr. S with the intent of having a pain pump implanted as I felt it was my only option: Dr. S told me I need to be honest with myself during the trial, I was, it wasn’t a good fit and Dr. S was relieved by my decision to not have the surgery done. This procedure most likely would have made him a lot of money - that is not his focus nor motivation. He cares. Since Jan’21 there has been new staff brought on as a previous doctor left.This change has been incredible. Please be aware of low reviews on Dr. S as I highly doubt these are his real patients. He is a wonderful and kind physician.

I have been a patient for sevreal years. I have found both Dr. Sudarshan and his staff to be kind, attentive, and very caring. He has helped me immensely in controling my lower back pain. I highly recommend Cincinnati Pain Physicians.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PAIN MANAGEMENT DR. THERE IS NONE BETTER THAN DR. SUDARSHAN. HE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AND TAKES THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THEIR SITUATION AND THEIR NEEDS. IN THE DAYS OF COVID, WHEN OHIO HOSPITALS CONSIDERED STIMULATOR SURGERY NONESSENTIAL, INSTEAD OF MAKING ME WAIT UNTIL THEY STARTED SCHEDULING IT AGAIN, HE ACTUALLY REFERED ME TO ANOTHER SURGEON, IN KENTUCKY, THAT WAS AFFILIATED WITH A HOSPITAL THAT WAS SCHEDULING THOSE PROCEDURES. HE DID NOT KEEP ME IN PAIN JUST SO HE COULD "COLLECT THE MONEY" FOR THE SURGERY. HE KNEW THAT I HAD BEEN ON OPIOID MEDICATION TOO LONG AND WAS MORE CONCERNED FOR ME THAN THE ALL MIGHTY BUCK. IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE ANY DR. CARING MORE FOR THEIR PATIENTS NEEDS THAN HE DOES.

My admiration for Dr. Sudarshan is spelled out in GRATITUDE. After many years of dealing with back pain I found a doctor with concern and kindness. His professional care has given me a new life without constant pain. He takes time to listen to you and encourages your comments. I will be forever grateful his is kindness and care.

I have been at this practice for over 10 years. I just recently saw Dr Sudarshan and I cringed. He has no bedside manner, did not why I come to the clinic, and tried to sign me up for a procedure that I already failed. He told me I took too much medicine that I was on for the past ten years. He is the one who started that medicine.

The absolutely worst pain management clinic . I left this office and could not be happier . Dr Sudarshan didn’t know my condition. He literally asked me about my back and I have foot pain ! What a total jerk . The office is the worst as well . It’s especially gotten worse this year .

One of the worst visits I had with a physician. He told me I didnt need to take pain medication and his 89 year old mother doesnt take pain medication. He then began to insult other people, and the hate continued. The most unprofessional physician.

Being treated by Dr. Sudarshan is a blessing! He works so hard to find a treatment that will help you. My pain is manageable so I can have a life again. You feel like you part of a family, the way he listens and talks hé truly cares!
