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.

Terrible experience
I waited 2 1/2 hours past my appointment time to see Dr. Bindal. When he finally came in he was abrupt, condescending and talked down to me like I was an idiot. Despite this he recommended physical therapy and seeing a pain doctor and I followed through with these. Ended up getting a second opinion--the opposite of Dr. Bindal and so glad I did. I cannot recommend him to anyone.

I am not happy with their procedure. You spend more time with the medical assistant than you do with the doctor. The medical assistant talks to you then she goes and confers with the doctor. He doesn't ask any questions and tells you what he is going to do. He said i was not a candidate for surgery. I know it was due to my age but he would not say so I told him i am 79 years old but i told him i wasn'tyour average 79 year old. All he said is he knew i was tough. I am going to try injections and after that i don't want anything to do with this doctor.

I had a new appointment. Prior to calling I inquired about possible wait time. I was told I may have to wait 1-2 hours before seeing the dr. I expressed how I have 4 herniated disc in my neck and unable to drive. The receptionist stated, “so do you want to keep the appointment or not?” Sadly, there is staff and office of this inferior level. But I’m relieved I didn’t drive 30 miles plus, wait 2 hours for a 5 minute evaluation.

Dr Bindal is my husbands doctor. Honestly there isn't enough space here to leave the review he and his staff deserve. Dr Bindal and his staff went above and beyond working with our insurance company, surgery was scheduled quickly, Dr Bindal is a doctor that cares and he's very personable. We love Dr Bindal and so thankful that our general MD gave us his name as a referral. Billy's recovery has been better than I ever thought possible or expected, his pain and mobility gets better every day. When scheduling an appointment his staff is efficient and does their best to get their patients in quickly. The surgical reports were done timely so I could get them filed with our Aflac company. I give Dr Bindal and his staff a 5 star rating. Do yourself a favor by going to Doctor Bindal and see what he can do for you.

Dr. Bindal is an expert and a consummate professional. He truly cares about his patients and has an excellent bedside manner. He performed a disc replacement surgery on my cervical spine and the procedure went so smoothly—I woke up from surgery with all of my nerve pain completely gone. I would highly recommend Dr. Bindal. Having surgery, especially on your spine, can be an extremely scary prospect, but you will be in excellent hands with Dr. Bindal!

Dr. Bindal performed surgery on me in June, 2018. Ten months later, I am still very happy with the results. I suffered sciatic pain for several months and tried various methods for pain relief as I was leery about seeing a doctor for surgery, until the pain became unbearable. After an MRI, Dr. Bindal diagnosed my pain as a mechanical issue which not get better without surgery. He explained that I had bone spurs between the L4 and L5 as well as stenosis which was squeezing the nerves, all o

Dr. Rajesh Bindal, is THE BEST! I fell in love with Dr. Bindal as soon as he shook my hand. I had been off work for 5months. I had been from Dr. to Dr. I felt like the Drs. were afraid to help me and kept referring me off. When I saw Dr. Bindal he was so polite, he explained what he saw in my notes, and he explained what he was going to do. He did my surgery and I am soooo grateful to him because he gave me my life back. His office staff is just like him, sooo polite and professional as

I underwent a Laminectomy & Discectomy procedure with Dr. Rajesh K. Bindal on May 1st, 2018. I entered the operating theater at 10:30 a.m. and was on my way home at 1:00 pm. Dr. Bindal’s skill and delicate handling of the surgery, meant that I did not need even 1 pain-killer after the surgery. I was able to walk and build my stamina walking about 8000 steps in 2-3 days after the surgery. His post-operative instructions were spot on and I am so glad everything worked as planned.

I ended up in Dr. Bindal's office because I heard great things about Texas Spine and Neurosurgery and I was looking for a second opinion. Texas Orthopedics wanted to fuse three neck vertebra. Dr. Bindal studied my MRI for about 30-45 minutes and he came up with a pinched nerve in my lower back. He did the minimal invasive surgery and now I can walk without a cane. First time in months. He will be working to do more as I have a long ways to go. Great doctor.

I'm typically not one to write reviews, but Doctor Bindal deserves praise above a paycheck for this patient. Having been in pain a number of years, received multiple injections in the spinal area, even visiting other surgeons, (that suggested work above what was required), Bindal's patience, confidence and experience is exactly what was required to repair the spine, and pinched nerve I had suffered for so many years. Three cheers for Rajesh ! I would refer him to everyone suffering similar pain

We first saw him in 2010 when my wife was in need of neck surgery, he explained the procedure to us in detail and assured us of good results. Indeed the results has been great as said. This month again, my wife was in need of a back surgery and indeed it was performed by Dr. Rajesh BIndal and the results is superb. He is the best.

I walked into Methodist Sugar Land Emergency Services June 1, 2017. I was promptly attended to and was checked into Neuro ward that day after CT. MRI for extreme lower back pain. Dr. Bindal"s assistant, Maty, discussed my test results and and options. I could tell she had done a thorough job in my evaluation. Once back surgery was decided, I was promptly attended to. I showed almost immediate improvement after surgery. From the moment I checked in I could not have been more pleased.

Unethical. Terrible. Disgusting. Referred by Pankiewicz. Waited over 3 hours. Extremely uncomfortable chairs. Forced to submit to lab test for meds. I gave them a complete list. Guess they didn't believe me. Told I would get bill from a lab, they didn't know how much. MRI's show severe cervical spinal stenosis. He said I have degenerative arthritis??? Would not allow any questions. He just walked out. That cost me $412. I have no insurance. Now wants more money for my records.

Horrible experience. After surgery, a surgery Dr Bindal recommended, not the one I had preferred, I was in extreme pain and had to see a pain doctor for ESIs. The 1st 2 helped but after the 3rd I was back in extreme pain again, bed ridden, could not even walk. Bindal ordered an MRI and EMG and prescribed some drugs. I did not hear from them for over 2 weeks and out of painkillers I asked for a refill and was treated as if I was a drug addict! Now I have to have the surgery I wanted in the 1st pl
