I had back fusion surgery Dr. Palavali is amazing man of few words but his incredible actions speaks volumes

I see so many negative reviews until it’s sad! Well my experience was just the opposite, I had my surgery 2/6/23 and from the moment I met Dr Palavali he and his staff has been nothing but kind! I was super nervous to have my surgery,.. but after looking at my scar I’m super impressed! I’ve had major meltdowns because of the pain that I was unfamiliar with but the staff and Dr Palavali walked me through everything. The doctor called me and personally reassured me that I would be fine. Yes I would recommend him to anyone. You can’t always accept the negative reviews. Some people will leave a negative review just because they can! Thumbs up from me Dr Palavali & staff! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had the same problem trying to get things done for 2 months now trying to get a CT. I know it's hard dealing with all the rules of the health insurance but seems that the office staff is not up to par. But not returning calls and not getting things done really leaves me in the dark, not happy

So I was just in for lower back pain yesterday and the two beautiful ladies at the front desk were so kind to me. The other woman who took me back into a room and weighed me let me use her fidget cube for my anxiety... I appreciated that so much! The surgeon was so nice and explained everything clearly to where i could understand what was going on. I highly recommend this place. I am very picky with places due to rude people from the past but this place is full of kindness and welcomes you with open arms of kindess. and they make you feel comfortable and important. If I could, I would give them 8,000 stars! So I was just in for lower back pain yesterday and the two beautiful ladies at the front desk were so kind to me.

Only had good experience with him. He did my first low back fusions

I had back surgery in January 2014 with Dr Palavali he was straight forward and to the point told me it would help me with my issues. I had my back surgery and I was in amazement how great I have felt since. He never gave me a guarantee that I would fix me but it sure did improve my life. With my condition sad to say I will be going back very soon. He is the only surgeon I will let touch my back!

Dr. Palavali is straight to the point and will take very good care of you if you need surgery.

Had a mri while I was in the ER and Dr. Palavali said I would need surgery sooner than later. He was booked with surgeries the next day on a Monday. He moved some of his appointments around and scheduled my surgery for later in the day Tuesday. He was very up front with me and the family about the procedure. He took the time to explain everything to us and answer any questions. I appreciate everything that he and his staff has done for me.

Excellent Nuerosurgeon

$223.00 for a 2 minute virtual office visit is kind of steep dont you think ? why should this cost more than a regular office visit? I have nothing more to tell than i was charged 223.00 dollars for a facetime council tatian where nothing was done !!!!! i will live in severe pain before i would let this guy touch my neck !!!!!

I first had my lower lumber fusion done December 2016 Dr. Palavali did an amazing job. I was having problems no doctor or hospital would tell me the truth about my MRI I took it to Dr. Palavali he showed me and explained everything only Doctor I trust right now.

He came in looked at me walked out to see next patient very unprofessional

Very honest and straight to the point. Everyone on here is complaining he has no passion? What do you want, an excellent doctor who will do a perfect job, or a walk through the park? Dr. Palavali is a very good doctor that I would recommend to anyone who needs help. The staff is caring and helpful as well.

Anterior cervical bone fusion completed by Dr Palavali. He is Professional & Excellent as a Neurosurgeon. I felt immediate relief. I will continue to recommend him to others in need. He has conducted several surgeries on other family members that are more than pleased with his services. Thank You Doctor Palavali.

If I could give this jerk a zero I would. Absolutely no compassion for your condition. Condescending and rude. Needs to be put out of business. Came for help was told to find another Dr, lack of insurance was the problem....do no harm????? Do Not Go

I agree with the others who had similar experiences with Dr. Palavali as I have...Twice. Did a great job on my first surgery but doesn't seem all that interested in going the extra mile now. I left in tears also. I agree with the others who had similar experiences with Dr. Palavali as I have...Twice. Did a great job on my first surgery but doesn't seem all that interested in … More

Had anterior cervical fusion of C4-5, C5-6 and C6-7. Dr. Palavali explained the procedure in-depth at the consultation. We found him to be very proficient. Two weeks post-op and I couldn't be happier that I had this surgery. Thanks Dr. Palavali, I won't hesitate to look to you in the future if the need arises. A+ from me

This was my mom’s second surgery with Dr Palavali in under 2 years and we had great experiences both times. My mom was happy with the outcomes of both surgeries. I found Dr Palavali bedside manner pleasant and he was very informative and patient with my family updating my mom’s condition and outcome of surgery post op. My mom found the office staff very friendly and accommodating as well. Being someone who deals with surgeons on a daily basis, I found Dr Palavalis follow up to be above average/excellent . We highly recommend Dr Palavali to those that would be surgical candidates. I would also like to add that we felt that the nursing care/ PT was excellent on McLaren 5 North.

Dr. Palavali was an excellent surgeon. I work in the medical field and found him very professional .He was very compassionate when he needed to be. I don't care what a Dr looks like, acts like, or says (like many of you) I want the best surgeon I can get. If you want to be pampered go to a spa.the only complaint I have is with his young staff. They are the ones who show no compassion. When an emergency came up they ignored me and should have given to his on call Dr. they are too young to understand life. Many people I know in the medical field highly recommend him. Dr. Palavali was an excellent surgeon.

Dr did nothing to help with pain and sent a Dr. Snow into assist that lady is a rude condescending doctor who was let go by Owasso memorial hospital and is just a joke, she showed up and was very rude and talked to me like a child. She is also the same lady who was rude to my brother Richard and mother in owasso, and now I'm in chronic pain I encourage all who go to this sergon to seek advice from another Dr and not let him referr you to Dr Fernandez they both say that the other is responsible I have certified letters from both doctor's saying the other Dr is the responsible doctor, Not once have they apologized and said they would look at my wound for fallow up care and, what a shame both doctor's are not nice note that I have to say it was the worst experience of my life......sad by the lack of professional care and lack of ethical duties as doctors who take oath to do no harm to patients. Please stop sending letters to me saying the other sergon is the lead sergon my family doctor gave me the letters that doc. V., referred me to Dr Fernandez it's on file and on legal documents, hope that this review makes you happy dr.P don't ask me to take it down again with a letter and stop blaming Dr Fernandez is in bad taste.

I would give zero stars, if it would let me! Judging by my own experience, the review before mine, and the severe lack of other reviews on him, I am led to assume he has coerced others to remove their negative reviews on him. Mine will stand as is. Please at least consider the lack of honest, positive reviews on this man, if nothing else. He probably paid his staff to post the few positive reviews he has. Dr. Palavali contradicts himself from one office visit to the next and has the bedside manner of a dead fish, cold and uncaring. One minute I'm a good candidate for surgery and he wants to set an appointment, and the next he wants me to do MORE expensive, endless, and in my case, useless physical therapy and pain management. Mind you, that's more of what has NOT worked for nearly 30 years! Sorry, but you'll have to get your kickback pay from some other sucker! His office staff was just as rude and unprofessional during my few office visits there. One girl very rudely gawked at me instead of doing her job, as I was just about in frustrated tears when I left. I'm seeking a more professional doctor and office staff for my own care and would not recommend this doctor to anyone! I would give zero stars, if it would let me!

Mine isn't a personal review but IS based on the improvement I've witnessed in a family member. Very attentive to history and the complete treatment experience.
