I developed progressive weakness and numbness in my legs over several years. I am a physician and was reluctant to consider surgery until I had serious lifestyle limitations. I diligently researched all back surgeons in the Austin and wider area and settled on Dr. Vasudevan. I was not disappointed. One month after minimally invasive spinal surgery I am fully functional and have no limitations and no leg or back symptoms. Dr.V is kind, compassionate and was personally engaged in all aspects of my care. I did not get farmed out to PAs &Nurse Practitioners. He always had all the time to answer my and my wife’s concerns and I never felt rushed. He encouraged me to try conservative care and did not push surgical intervention until I was ready to. I could not recommend a peer more highly. Dr. V has restored my active lifestyle back to me and I as well as my wife will remain eternally grateful to him.

The short version: please call Dr. V for your spine complaints. I wish I had sooner. I had a C4-5-6 fusion in January 2024 and I’m now completely pain free after having severe pain and burning for 12 years. The surgery and recovery went flawlessly. He’s a highly skilled surgeon, compassionate, and took time to thoroughly investigate my complaints when I felt like other physicians had overlooked them. Now, I take zero medications and no longer suffer from pain. I don’t require a pain management physician. Nothing. Couldn’t be happier with the results.

Dr. V is amazing. After a horrible car wreck, I dealt with constant numbness, tingling and aching on both my right and left arms from an injured neck. I had a C4-C7 ACDF and immediately felt relief. He is a great Dr. and very genuine person. I've never had a Dr. like him. I would highly recommend him to anyone with spinal/nerve issues. Hands down....The BEST!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dr. V is the best spine surgeon I have ever had. He truly cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen to them. He is very thorough and informative. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a neurosurgeon.

Dr. Vasudevan is simply the best spine surgeon in Austin. Very kind and sharp.

Dr V is an outstanding neurosurgeon, I believe in his work and I have seen his positive outcomes on many of his patients, I have firsthand heard their testimonies after failed surgeries elsewhere. He truly cares about providing the absolute best spine surgeon services to his patients and improving their quality of life.

Testimonials

My husband had back surgery on Dec 21,2021. Dr V.is an awesome and very caring doctor. He explained in detail what the surgery entailed and how my recovery would be. His staff is very helpful and nice also. I would totally recommend Dr V. to anyone that needs a back surgeon. Thank you so much Dr. V for helping me with my back pain and for caring. Thanks to you staff also. From the minute we walked into the office for our first appointment, we felt like Dr. V really cared about his patients and wants to help them anyway he can.

When I first went to Dr. Ram I couldn't sit for 15 minutes, which made working incredibly difficult. Now I can sit as long as I need to get the job done. I saw four other spine surgeons before Dr. Ram. Two referred me back to PT and two who recommended procedures that seemed much more invasive than necessary. Dr. Ram treated my herniation aggressively but with modern and minimally invasive techniques. I highly recommend seeking out the best and Austin Neuro Spine is the best.

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Vasudevan and the entire staff at Austin NeuroSpine. I spent well over 2 years in pain, avoiding surgery. I came to Dr. V's office after exploring several options. After meeting with Dr. V I scheduled MIS TILF surgery. It's been almost 6 months now and I am 100% happy with the outcomes; I wake up without pain, places in my leg/foot that were numb are starting to recover. It's an absolute life changer and I'm so pleased with the outcomes.

Dr. V as I call him, is an amazing Surgon and the quality of care he provided for me through my entire journey was absolutely amazing. He was able to diagnose the my problem quickly and was able to convince me to have the surgery that I found to be one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. Thank you so much Dr. V for being the kind and gentle person. May God bless you in abundance for all the great work you do for others and giving me back my quality of life.

Looking for a great Neuro Spine Surgeon with a caring attitude, the latest medical knowledge, a wonderful team and will treat you like family, you have found him. 5 weeks after surgery at least 80% of my pain is gone. My quality of life has greatly improved. I can see myself being able to continue my lifestyle THANK YOU DR. V. If I had to do it all over again I would come right back to Dr. V. Minimal Invasive Surgery worked great for me. Love and gratitude from my wife and me.

Dr. V is an amazing physician & surgeon. He truly is one of the best doctors that I have been around. He explains everything, so there are no surprises. Dr. V took an extended amount of time to provide detailed answers to my multiple questions. He called me after my procedure to see how I was doing. Not many spinal surgeons would do that. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing spinal repairs. He is truly amazing!

Dr. Vasudevan is the best! My husband was having serve back pain and could barely walk a year ago. Dr. V expedited his surgery of a double fusion of the L-4 & L-5 disks in May 2021 because we were going on vacation in June. The surgery was successful and my husband is back to doing the things he loves which includes golfing. Dr. V has a great bedside manner and won't rush you into any surgery that is not needed. I highly recommend Dr. V and have referred him to another friend whose husband is having back problems.

After two other surgical consults and years trying to avoid surgery, I was referred to Dr V by my pain management Dr, as well as two personal friends who were already patients. I was petrified and had done everything to avoid surgery for years! I wish I hadn’t waited so long. I am 6 weeks post op today. I had a three level ACDF and feel fantastic! If I have to go back for another level, I won’t hesitate, with him as my surgeon. You just don’t have to live in pain. The difference is life changing. I got mine back.

My husband (who is 48) has had chronic back pain most of his life. He had a crack in his spine since birth and was diagnosed with spinal arthritis at an early age. He has gone to multiple doctors (orthopedic surgeons, etc.) and never found relief. Dr. Rafii referred us to Dr. Vasudevan and our lives changed. Dr. "V's" office staff is absolutely fabulous to deal with. Dr. V scheduled him for surgery. And after an easy recovery over the holidays and 7 weeks post surgery, my husband said he has never felt better in his life.

So thankful that I found Dr. V. From start to finish, my experience at Austin NeuroSpine has always been wonderful. My neck issues are a bit perplexing, and Dr. V has never given up on me. He has persisted in getting me the correct diagnosis, and I am finally on the path to healing. The ladies that work up front set the bar high! I continue to be impressed by their kindness and willingness to help. I have been to many medical offices over the past 4 years, and I have yet to experience better customer service. Thank you!

Dr. V operated on my lower back to repair 2 herniated discs in December of 2019. This surgery absolutely changed my life! Before being treated by Dr. V., I was in terrible pain nearly all the time. Since my surgery, I have little to no pain, and I am able to to all of the things I was unable to do before due to pain. I highly recommend Dr. V to anyone who is struggling with pain. The success of the surgery he performed on me far exceeded my expectations!

I had pretty much given up on everything that life had to offer and was just going to accept that pain would just be a permanent factor that would follow me until the procedure preformed by Dr. Vasudevan. They put my mind at ease and they made me feel comfortable through the entire process. I’m able to see the beauty in the world around me once again now that I’m not constantly in pain. Thank you so much Austin NeuroSpine!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dr. Vasudevan is an excellent doctor and I would recommend him to anyone who is considering back surgery. He was through in his diagnoses and explained exactly what needed to be done to correct my problem. I went into the surgery with great confidence and when I came out of recovery and the pain was gone I knew I had chosen the right doctor to handle the job. Great doctor and staff. Highly recommend!!!

I suffered with unbearable back and leg pain for around 1 year , assuming that going forward, this would be what my life would look like . I was not excited about the spinal fusion procedure that Dr. Vasudevan recommended, but I trusted him. He explained issues in language I could understand. It's been just over a month since my surgery and the pain is gone! Dr. Vasudevan, THANK YOU for giving me my life back!

Dr V has treated me for L5 S1 disc and I am feeling great after surgery. He is the best neurosurgeon in Austin. Before him, I did visit multiple doctors to get opinions but their recommendations were not well. Dr V guided me well with the severity of the issue and also provided excellent information on how it needs to be done. He and his team has always been supportive in the days before surgery and also after surgery for the followups.

Came to Dr V for a second opinion ended up letting him to all my surgery and another surgeon that was going to work on my back but Dr V worked on my neck and highly considering letting him work on my back because of how well and good of a job he did on my neck brought me back to what I was before I was in the car wreck I would recommend him to family friend or anyone.

Today is week 3 since having the surgery and I can say with absolute certainty that Dr V. is a great surgeon. He explained the procedure in detail, took great care of me and made me feel at ease ( I was very nervous about having surgery). I highly recommend Dr V. if you are are considering the surgery. His staff is extremely helpful and made the entire process easy.

Since my initial visit to his office I was amazed by the time he spent with me answering any and all of my questions. He was always patient and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease regarding my treatment. He was my surgeon and my life has improved 100% since I had my procedure. I will always be thankful for Dr. Vasudevan's work and dedication.

Dr V. is a true helper. He came into to the office when it was closed just to see my wife. He took the time to get all the facts and review with her. He explained the treatment plan before, during, and following surgery. Nothing was rushed. Following the surgery he spoke with me and explained clearly what was done. Thank you Dr. V.

Dr. Vasudevan is wonderful! I am three months out from having my C5 - C7 fused, and I feel great. I was in so much pain before my surgery, and I woke up feeling better. The numbness in my fingers was gone. Dr. Vasudevan cares about his patients and spends the time to go over all the information you need.

Dr V is an outstanding neurosurgeon, I believe in his work and I have seen his positive outcomes on many of his patients, I have firsthand heard their testimonies after failed surgeries elsewhere. He truly cares about providing the absolute best service to his patients and improving their quality of life.

From first visit, I felt comfortable with both his manner and explanations of my situation. Their office is well run and front desk and assistants are always friendly. I have always felt that I was in competent hands throughout the office visits. I would strongly recommend DR.V , you can not go wrong.

Dr. V is probably the best doctor I have ever had. He truly cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen to them. He is very thorough and informative. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a neurosurgeon.

He is an excellent neurosurgeon and takes time to explain spinal conditions and pertinent treatments, including surgical interventions. Good follow up skills and demonstrates keen interest in patient recovery.
