Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

So many questions went unanswered. I waited over 9 months to see this Dr. I've been in severe pain since Oct 2020. I had high hopes for this Dr. But once again I found no help with him The visit was rushed and my questions went unanswered. Nine months of waiting for a 10 minute visit. His nurse gave me a referral to pain management Highly disappointed

The best doctor I have seen in a while. I have been getting really down and out but Dr. Pannu made me feel like someone understands what I'm going through and he sees it on my MRI. He sat down with me and went over it, and explained the next steps. I feel so much better just feeling like I'm being heard. Dr. Pannu is great.

Dr Pannu is very patient and kind. He is very knowledgeable about what he does. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable with surgery. I'm very glad and thankful my PCP referred me to him. Not to mention my PCP really believes and trust his decision.

refered to him after being told my mri showed arthrist. went into room and different people came in and asked questions about my problem, after another 5 min. one comes back in and says what the mri shows does not match what i am there for. So we do strength test and more questions. Then the doctor comes in and says come with me, and shows me my mri & says i need a neck fusion and the area where it putting pressure on my spinal cord. Then he is gone! left with no time for questions,never again.

Dr. Pannu is an excellent surgeon/doctor. He's methodical in his treatment plan and did not rush to perform surgery. I was amazed when he told me that after my pre-op appt, he'd left the office and pondered over my surgical plan, up to the point of seeing me in the hospital prior to operating. He took the time to explain why and how he was changing my surgery. I was very impressed! Dr. Pannu is highly personable. He's pleasant, caring and professional. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Pannu did a revision of my fusion surgery from an Orthopedic Surgeon 3 1/2 years ago. Everything went well and 10 weeks later I am pain free and back to work. I would recommend Dr. Pannu for anyone in need of surgery. My pain from the disc pushing into my nerve was relieved right away after the surgery and my recovery time was quick and easy.

I consulted with Dr Panna after learning about a spinal cord issue related to a 10 year old injury. I had numerous MRI and when I finally met with him he showed me nothing. No images, no explanation of my condition, absolutely nothing. Said to treat the symptoms and that's all. gave me the all clear to return to work until I was hospitalized because of complications, when he was paged, he came and took a phone call in the middle of our conversation. Very disrespectfull.
