Care that starts with listening
“My goal is simple: the right treatment, at the right time, explained in a way every patient understands.”
Dr. Nitish Agarwal (also spelled Dr. Nitish Agrawal) is a Consultant Spine Surgeon based on FC Road, Shivajinagar, Pune. Over more than 15 years he has treated over 10,000 patients and performed more than 5000 spine surgeries, from simple disc problems to complex spine fixation.
He believes most spine problems can be treated without open surgery. He starts with an accurate diagnosis, medicines, physiotherapy and image-guided nerve blocks. When surgery is truly needed, he uses microscopic and endoscopic techniques so patients recover faster and get back to normal life.
Patients and families often say what they value most is his patience. He takes time to explain the MRI, answers every question and stays in touch on WhatsApp after treatment.
His approach
Honest advice. Expert surgery.
Three promises every patient gets, from the first visit to full recovery.
Non-surgical care first
Most spine problems get better with medicines, physiotherapy and image-guided nerve blocks. Surgery is always the last option, never the first.
Every MRI explained
Dr. Nitish shows you your scans on screen and explains your problem and every option in simple words, so you and your family can decide calmly.
Minimally invasive surgery
When surgery is needed, he uses a microscope or endoscope through a small cut. This means less pain, less blood loss and walking within 24 hours for most patients.
