Schedule ConsultationLet's Talk
Not every problem that walks through the door needs an operation, and he says so plainly before he ever recommends one.
Tries First
Tries First: Non-surgical care, before surgery is ever considered.
Physiotherapy, targeted injections, and everyday lifestyle changes are tried first, well before surgery becomes part of the conversation.
Recommends Surgery When
Recommends Surgery When: Delay risks lasting nerve damage.
The risk of nerve damage or permanent loss of function is real, and waiting any longer usually makes the outcome worse, not better.
Always
Always: Every option explained, nothing rushed.
Walks through every option with you, in plain language, before either of you decides on anything, so nothing ever feels rushed or unclear.
For both brain and spine, Dr. Sunkara reaches for the least invasive technique that gets the same outcome, before open surgery is ever on the table.

Indian School of Business · AMP for Healthcare, 2022
In 2022, already a senior consultant with over a decade in the OR, Dr. Sunkara went back to the classroom, completing the Advanced Management Programme for Healthcare at the Indian School of Business. Not to learn more medicine, but to understand everything that surrounds a diagnosis: the fear, the confusion, and the family standing behind every patient trying to make sense of a decision they never wanted to make.
“A diagnosis doesn’t happen to one person but to an entire family. Surgery fixes the spine or the brain. But if I haven’t also spoken to the parent, the spouse, the child sitting next to my patient, I’ve only done half my job.”
- Dr. Raveesh Sunkara
Most new patients arrive already familiar with how he explains a diagnosis, because they have watched him do it on video first.
