Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with severe osteoarthritis in both hips, I had given up hope of ever moving gracefully again.

After a horrific motorcycle accident that shattered my pelvis in multiple places, multiple surgeons told me I might never walk normally again. Dr. Karthik's 12-hour reconstructive surgery and personalized rehabilitation plan proved them wrong. I completed my first 5K run exactly one year post-surgery.

I'm a professional violinist who developed debilitating focal dystonia in my left hand. While not a typical orthopedic case, Dr. Karthik's innovative nerve decompression surgery restored my fine motor control. I performed at the Music Academy season just 4 months post-op.

My 16-year-old daughter developed severe scoliosis that progressed rapidly during her growth spurt. Dr. Karthik's vertebral body tethering procedure corrected the curvature while preserving spinal mobility, she can still do all her yoga poses perfectly.
