Dr. Vishwaraj Ratha

Our 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare arachnoid cyst causing severe headaches. Dr. Ratha's minimally invasive endoscopic approach meant she was playing with her dolls the next day and back to school within a week - we barely believed it was brain surgery.

I'm a 45-year-old mountain biker who suffered a complex spinal fracture in a competition fall. Dr. Ratha's emergency spinal fusion surgery not only saved me from paralysis but got me back on training trails in 6 months - now preparing for my next championship.

My 85-year-old mother with Parkinson's was falling frequently and losing independence. Dr. Ratha's precise medication adjustment and non-surgical management plan transformed her stability - she now walks confidently with her walker and has regained her dignity.

As a professional violinist with a growing acoustic neuroma, I faced losing my hearing and career. Dr. Ratha's nerve-preserving surgical technique removed the tumor while protecting my auditory function - I performed my first concert post-surgery just 3 months later.

As a 72-year-old retired architect, I was losing my ability to draw due to essential tremor. Dr. Vishwaraj Ratha performed deep brain stimulation at SIMS Hospital, and now my hands are steady enough to sketch my grandchildren's portraits again - a miracle I never thought possible.
