My experience with Dr. Yelavarthi was very positive. I was in a lot of pain when I first met him. After a few diagnostic tests he told me how he thought we should treat my condition. The pain was in a different place than I had experienced in the past. He chose to inject the most obvious source. Unfortunately, that procedure wasn’t successful. He listened to me carefully when I said I thought it was further up my back. There was a small place of concern that didn’t look that bad on the tests. He agreed to try that spot and that did the trick! I love it when a doctor actually listens to his patient! I am from out of state and was nervous about going somewhere I wasn’t familiar with but, Dr. Yelavarthi took very good care of me and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
