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.

Excellent Neurosurgeon
I had 5 disc neck fusion surgery already scheduled with a different doctor. I felt very uncomfortable with the amount of information I received about the surgery that the 1st Doctor was about to do, so I went to Dr. Satyan as my second opinion. I knew the minute he started talking I was going to change and arrange the surgery with him. Above all I appreciated his honesty with me about what to expect in terms of what he was going to do, how he was going to do it, and what to expect in rehab. I was impressed with the amount of time he put into helping me be informed about my decision to do the surgery.I am a month past the surgery now. I have seen the X-ray and not only am I recovering well, but he actually did beautiful work. I already had a 3 disc surgery done in 2020 and just the difference in the pictures from the first one to these shows a pride in his work. I feel blessed to have found him.

Very comfortable with Dr. Satyan performing this s
Great staff, nice facility, good communications with everyone. Dr. Satyan knows his stuff, took time to explain the diagnosis, steps prior to surgery, and what to expect during and after. Answered the questions we had clearly, taking time to be sure we had a good grasp of the surgery, any non-surgical options, potential risks, and the benefits of surgery.I like it that he is straight and to the point!

Excellent care from a great team!
Dr. Satyan is an excellent surgeon and is very skilled. He treated me for Trigeminal Neuralgia with MVD of the 5th cranial nerve. His entire team provided excellent care that began when I met the front office staff, then Michelle, then Brek his surgical assistant, and finally Donna, the office manager. His practice gives you total care because at each step his people are professional and knowledgeable yet also kind and have patience with patients. Brek is a great assistant who will answer every question throughout the surgical process. If you want a positive outcome with a caring team, This is the place!

Dr. Satyan - Expert in his Field
Dr. Satyan is one of the smartest people I have met. He came in for my neck, pinched nerve consult, and already had all my MRI pictures on the screen. He immediately described what my issues were and how we are going to address them. He said surgery was a last resort, which is powerful and surprising coming from a surgeon. First class operation.

Minimally Invasive Discectomy
Dr. Satyan performed a discectomy on my L4-S1 joint and helped me understand all of the information I needed to feel comfortable with the procedure. I noticed improvement in my nerve pain shortly after waking from the procedure and felt confident in his ability.

I owe Dr. Satyan my ability to walk again!
Dr. Satyan is my miracle doctor. A little over two years ago, I was getting extremely weak and could barely walk. I was also fast becoming paralyzed completely. Dr. Satyan ordered me to the ER where I was admitted into the hospital for many tests. It was found that my spinal cord was being pinched off at the neck and blocking spinal fluid down my spine. Dr. Satyan quickly diagnosed my condition and operated the fourth day and I spent 32 days in hospitals recovering. I'm still with issues but I can now walk again and exercise to my capability and owe my life to him. I highly recommend Dr. Satyan for any of his listed specialties. He is the best! I'm living proof. I have a long ways to go but I am still independent and able to live a pretty normal life thanks to his knowledge and practice of medicine and his specialties. I am forever in his debt. Thank you so much Dr. Satyan. You are amazing!

Excellent, Conscience and Kind,
From introduction to post-op Dr. Satyan was thorough and detailed in all aspects of caring for me as a patient. He has a very calm and kind demeanor and will be honest with you about your prognosis. I am almost four weeks out of surgery, and I am feeling very positive about the results. I definitely would recommend Dr. Saytan to anyone.

Fantastic Experience
From the lovely ladies at the front desk (Didi and Stacey), to Donna (Dr. Satyan's assistant) who was so empathetic and got me in quickly, to the medical and physician's assistants, and Dr. Satyan, this is the best experience I have ever had with a medical office in its entirety in DFW. Dr. Satyan and I had a great conversation before we got down to business. No pretense, just a humble nice guy who understood what I needed, and took action. It was just so refreshing to be treated with kindness from the entire staff, not just one, but EVERYBODY. Customer experience rating would be 10 if I could give 10 stars!

Dr. Satyan is courteous, to the point, and speaks in plain language. I feel like I am in good hands. The staff, Brek, Michelle, and Donna, is professional, congenial, and personable. Lumbar surgery may be in my future and if it is, I will feel safe and well cared for.
