Forever Grateful

Dr. Sekhon has performed two major laminectomies for me; both have given me a new lease on life. I could have extended my neck while climbing or running and incurred paralysis. His thoroughness, listening and ordering an MRI changed my life. I am now walking with a free and normal stride after four months from back surgery. He is thoughtful, reassuring and confident while making an assessment. Personally, I owe much he and his team. His confidence allowed me to move forward. Forever Grateful, Jennifer Bullock

A thank you goes so far!

This made my week…

Dr. Sekhon is working with

Dr. Sekhon is working with me to address my spinal condition. His background and expertise could not be better; and was the initial reason I have chosen him as my neurosurgeon. He is careful to explain the best approach to my treatment. He is precise in explaining the details of my condition; and he has reviewed with me the nature of my condition through a detailed analysis of my past and current images in understandable terms. He employs best practices in addressing my needs for now and in the future. I have worked with him in both virtual and office settings as needed. He is careful to answer all my questions and concerns. Importantly. Dr. Sekhon is likeable. I am very comfortable knowing that I am in good hands. Thank you, Dr. Sekhon!

This man saved me. Hangman’s fracture C1-3. This is an amazing and caring team of people. I could be dead or in a wheelchair. Instead I was treated with care and compassion. Lali is the man!

Thank you!

Hi! My name is _________ and I would like to thank Dr Sekhon for the emergency surgery he performed on me on August 1st 2020.
Because of your quick thinking of removing all of my infected stimulation equipment you saved me from a much worse outcome. Myself and my family thank you sir! May God bless you 🙏🏻

Simply THE BEST!

Simply THE BEST! Dr. Sekhon did surgery on my back after i broke it in a freak accident. ( trying to pull a 130 lb bail of hay up in to my truck bed. My body was at a weird angle,so when i pulled,heard 2 loud pops.down I went for about 15 minutes. Once I could walk,drove home. Figured I was ok. By that night, was pretty sore. Was telling friends on Fb what happened,many said I needed to go to ER. as i have a neurological disease & they were worried. One actually called the ambulance that took me. That is when i met Dr Sekhon. Because of the neuro disease and dystonia, he wanted to be as conservative as possible. What ever he did, it has held up well and only this past year have I started to have much more pain. might be time to go see him again. such a great Dr! Such a great ,friendly, knowledgeable staff!

I had a four level

I had a four level laminectomy operation with Dr. Seckhon. He was the only surgeon that suggested something different than a fusion, which I was very afraid of. Everything went absolutely well, it solved all my problems and I’m back almost at the same level I was years ago before the start of my problems.
Dr. Sekhon is very, very capable, he is a kind person and explained everything very well before and after the surgery. I really appreciated his professionalism.

Jessica Burns

I’m still healing from my surgery. About 9 months post op. My pain levels went from completely unbearable to easily manageable without medication within a few weeks. Arm, shoulder, and back pain were all gone almost immediately. My neck still bothers me and probably will forever. Not only was the surgeon amazing but his staff is amazing as well. It’s been 9 months and I still owe money but they are always kind and understanding with me. I will get them paid off soon. If I ever need a neurosurgeon again. This is the only place I’ll go.

What a great Doctor!

What a great Doctor! I appreciate that Dr. Sekhon has a very conservative approach about suggesting what the right path of therapy should be for me, he makes sure that on rocks are overturned before moving forward. I knew that I was placing my health in the right hands to trust with my Spine/neck fusion of disc surgery. In January of 2020, I went ahead with the surgery, and I was in the hospital for one day, and I have no pain in my neck or spinal region since. For the following two weeks that I was off work, but I was able to sleep for 10-12 hours a night and get out and walk trails again for the first time in over a year. Life is getting back to normal again and with no pain! I am truly grateful that Dr. Sekhon has developed and surrounded himself with a great team, from his PA Gregory Graves, his whole office staff and the surgical staff that monitored all my vitals and nerve tests during my surgery. I want to thank you each member of his staff for helping me in my quick recovery! Many thanks…. Mary Reno NV

“Another year come and gone!

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for you, Dr. Sekhon, and the whole team in Reno who took care of me.

Since I last saw you in Reno, I have moved to Hawaii with my girlfriend. I am actively surfing, biking, diving, hiking, and doing all of the things I love on a daily basis due to you and your team.

Today is always a humbling day for me to reflect on how lucky I am.

One day in the future I plan on starting a non profit for spinal cord injury victims. I am still unclear on my full mission but, I have something burning inside me to help others. I started to volunteer with https://www.accessurf.org/ as often as I can, and while they don’t specialize in spinal cord injuries they help empower people with disabilities through accessible beach and water programs. I am hoping to create something like this so I can put smiles on peoples faces daily.

Again, thank you SO much for being complete badasses and taking care of me. You truly gave me a second chance at life and I don’t plan on wasting it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

If you or any of your team are ever in Hawaii give me a shout! I’d be more than happy to play tour guide or give a few good recommendations.”

After being diagnosed with stenosis

After being diagnosed with stenosis at L4-L5 that was impacting my everyday activities, I sought out Dr. Sekhon for treatment options. He described the range of possibilities clearly and completely, including the surgery (laminectomy) that he thought most likely to produce improvement, and which we ultimately selected. Dr. Sekhon inspired confidence, maintaining the highest levels of professionalism at all times – as did his support staff. I can recommend him heartily, and without hesitation, on every count.

Had my second surgery performed

Had my second surgery performed by Dr. Sekhon recently and I’m extremely pleased with the information provied prior to the procedure as well as the outcome of the procedure. He was very thorough as to what to expect, especially the level of pain involved and length of time for it to disssapate. The follow-up visits in the hospital were compassionate and informative. I’ve been his patient for more than ten years.

Spine surgery is not something

Spine surgery is not something to leave in the hands of just anyone. If you are looking for an expert neurosurgeon who takes every precaution for your health and well-being, Dr. Sekhon is who you should be in the care of. Being a sufferer of degenerative disc disease for many years, Dr. Sekhon has relieved my pain with lower back surgery and a triple ACDF (after removing the single fusion from ten years ago). Never have I been so comfortable with peace of mind for such delicate surgeries. Dr. Sekhon and his staff are to be commended for excellence in knowledge, bedside manner and technique. You are never left in the dark about anything. They have a knack of answering your questions before they’re even thought of! Long story short, if you are in need, rest assured you will be in good hands.

I was fortunate to have

I was fortunate to have chosen Dr. Sekhon to perform my L5/S1 Lumbar Fusion Surgery. He knew exactly what needed to be done to eliminate the pain that been building up and consuming me for 4 years. Realizing there is a risk with all surgeries, and a positive outcome of back surgeries is not a guarantee, I went into the surgery with great confidence and the understanding that I was a good candidate for this surgery with Dr. Sekhon in charge. I am thrilled to report that 4 months post-op, I took to the slopes of Mammoth Ski Resort, pain free!

Dr. Sekhon is extremely knowledgable on the most advanced surgical procedures and has excellent “bedside manner.” He and his PA, Curt Erickson, really slowed down and took the time to answer ALL of my questions and to make sure that we didn’t just jump into surgery. We eliminated all other treatments and procedures before deciding the lumbar fusion was to happen. I’m confident that we made the right decision and I know that I was in the best possible care through this very important surgery. Thank you, Dr. Sekhon, for my new back. I couldn’t be happier with my results!

I was told that DR. Sekhon would always use surgery as a last result by my GP. He was right. He is very good about explaining why we are doing what we are doing and trying medication and PT, before surgery. I was very pleased. And if that day comes that he tells me I need surgery I can believe that it is the only option.

Pat and Gayle Farley

Simply put; Dr. Sekhon is probably one of the best neurosurgeons in Reno.

I have had neck pain with numbness for the past few years. I have tried countless injections, months of physical therapy, and various other modalities. Once I felt like I was about to cross the bridge and consider opiates to treat the pain, I started to go neurosurgeon shopping.

I saw a total of three neurosurgeons before deciding on Dr. Sekhon. The first two I saw didn’t really perform much of an assessment, barely listened, and frankly spoke to me like I was a “dumb” 25 year old. I am a paramedic, so I would like to assume that I am not as dumb as most of my generation.

My first visit with Dr. Sekhon and Curt was pretty simple and straight forward. They reviewed my MRI and my symptoms, and then something crazy happened. They actually performed a complete neuro-exam! They explained my options, they didn’t talk down to me.

I decided on surgery since it appeared that I exhausted all of my options. It was pretty apparent the level of professionalism and genuine kindness that Dr. Sekhon expects from everyone in his office. From scheduling my consult to scheduling surgery, everyone took the time to explain everything that was needed to be done, and answered all of my questions no matter how silly they were.

My pre-op appointment was the night before, and Curt went over every sentence in the consent paperwork as well as walking me through the initial 24 hours post surgery. I spent probably an hour with him.

The morning of surgery, I checked into RRMC and they did the usual “show up three hours before, and sit around on a bed waiting for us to complete 15 minutes worth of work to get you ready for surgery.”

Here’s the weirdest part though. When I went back to the OR, I didn’t have any pre-op sedation. I was somewhat nervous, considering it was spine surgery, and I was on the other side of things. Dr. Sekhon, Greg, the RN, and some random med student actually took the time and talked with me knowing full well how nervous I was. Once the anesthesiologist arrived I was pretty much out in 30 seconds with a tube down my throat.

I woke up in Recovery and it was pretty uneventful besides the nurse allowing me to make phone calls. The floor was pretty laid back too. Most patients get private rooms on Sierra 1, so you don’t have to worry about a roommate that smells of old feet.

Right now I am on Post Op day 4 and I am not on any pain medications and I probably will be going back to work in 11 days.

Although Dr. Sekhon has horrible taste in hockey, he is a pretty good neurosurgeon who actually takes the time and effort to actually listen.

For thirteen years, I have been dealing with painful spinal issues. I met Dr.Sekhon, eight years ago, after the car I was in was rear-ended in an auto accident. Before that accident, I had undergone two previous spine surgeries.

For thirteen years, I have been dealing with painful spinal issues. I met Dr.Sekhon, eight years ago, after the car I was in was rear-ended in an auto accident. Before that accident, I had undergone two previous spine surgeries.

Unfortunately during the last portion of 2018, painful spinal issues returned. I returned to Dr.Sekhon for an examination, and got a new diagnosis. Surgery was scheduled to repair the new spinal damage. It has been a pleasure to renew my former relationship with Dr.Sekhon, and meet his staff; all whom are very professional and are dedicated to the highest level of patient care, their main goal. The practice makes a patient feel truly cared about and cared for as a welcome guest.

Dr.Sekhon is a very experienced surgeon with a truly remarkable background. I instinctively knew I could completely trust and rely on his diagnosis, with confidence and the secure knowledge that the new surgery would be a total success; and it was. This wonderful doctor has a great bedside manner that aided in the healing process.

Until a person experiences spinal injures and surgery, the value of having a doctor and his staff, who are so knowledgeable, professional, dedicated and caring, cannot be understood or explained. Dr. Sekhon is a rock; he and his staff helped me get through a very tough situation. Doctor, I’ve been blessed to be in your very capable hands, thank you!

His staff is also the BEST!

After suffering for many years with lower back pain that got steadily worse I finally decided I needed to get my life back. I met with Dr. Sekhon and his staff and was diagnosed with problems in the lumbar area that required surgery for repair. I am now 6 weeks post op and reveling in being pain-free. I am looking forward to a summer of activities that I haven’t been able to enjoy for about 10 years. In my opinion Dr. Sekhon is the best neurosurgeon in the country!!! His staff is also the BEST!

Dr. Sekhon and his staff are amazing

Dr. Sekhon and his staff are amazing. I had a s-4 s-5 laminectomy and discectomy. Who knew one of the United States top spine surgeons practiced in Reno? After spending almost a month in agony after re-injuring my back I’m now pain-free. Doctor Sekhon was very professional and showing me on my MRI what exactly my problem was and explaining how it could be fixed very simply. Even a non-professional like myself could understand what was going on on the MRI. After all this he asked if I had any questions I asked him how many times he’d done this surgery his answer was about 5000! I couldn’t think of any good questions after that… Have to comment about his anesthesiologist too on the day of surgery he came by to see me in pre-op. He clearly saw I was a little nervous about getting back surgery I mean who wouldn’t be? He said he would give me something to relax me he put something in my IV and the next thing I know I was waking up in post-op with the nurse saying it was all over! That’s how it should be done so you don’t have time to worry about stuff! Well done doc. Post-op instructions and visits were very well planned and clear instructions. If you have spine issues this is where you want to be. I went back to the VA after surgery and spoke to the patient advocate about my good experience and recommended that they send more people to Dr Sekhon.

This very knowledgeable Doctor and his team are truly awesome

This very knowledgeable Doctor and his team are truly awesome; others’ comments below concerning the same are highly accurate. About 5 years ago had two collapsed disks in my neck (old series of injuries) aggravated by a last-straw fall. Left arm and shoulder pain were untouchable by heavy meds or physical therapy. Lali believes in being informative, very conservative and non-invasive; surgery being only as a last resort. In my case, there was not an option and needed it done as soon as scheduling permitted. 2nd day after the surgery my wife felt the need to yell at me because I was not following post-op orders; I felt no pain. 5+ years in and still doing great. The metal plate/screws in my neck do not even set off the TSA metal scanners. Bonus round 🙂 If I ever have need to be back in a doctors’ and his terrific teams’ care for anything having to do with nero/spine, my big hope is that Lali is still here in Reno, and continuing to practice. To Lali: Thank you for deciding to take up medicine. Reno is very lucky to have you!

Thank you for this opportunity

Thank you for this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the entire staff at Nevada Neurosurgery.
The prospect of undergoing spinal surgery was terrifying for me, but rapidly-progressing and increasingly-incapacitating neuropathy made this decision necessary.
Dr. Sekhon’s confident, reassuring, and patient explanations allayed my fears. Curt Erickson, PA-C, thoroughly, patiently (and sometimes repeatedly), answered all of my many followup questions. And the front and back offices “ran with the precision and efficiency of a fine Swiss watch”.
I am most thankful that I entrusted this important decision to Dr. Sekhon and the entire staff at Nevada Neurosurgery.

My appointment with Dr. Sekhon

My appointment with Dr. Sekhon and his staff was a refreshing, very positive experience from all aspects in today’s overly regulated and complex medical system. From the initial appointment arrangements with his office staff to the actual visit itself with his medical support personnel to the session with the doctor himself, all was conducted with a very high degree of professionalism. Should the time come for further procedures, up to and including surgery, I would no hesitation to continue with Dr. Sekhon.

I would have never thought,

I would have never thought, due to lack of insurance, to go see a surgeon to help me with the severe back pain I suffered from for more than 10 years!! After ending up in the hospital and the ER not being able to control the pain, Dr. Sekhon (who was not on call at the time) did my surgery NO QUESTIONS ASKED!! He is also being VERY GRACIOUS in working with me on making payments.

He and his staff are always very caring and treat me with the utmost respect. I would recommend Nevada Neurosurgery to ANYONE!!!

Thank you for taking away the pain I have suffered from for such a long time.

Alicia Trusty

Totally a miracle!

Totally a miracle! People who have had similar back surgeries think I probably didn’t have “real” back surgery because my recovery was so successful. I was free of the original pain right from the start. I only had to recover from the surgical pain. I’m so glad I found Dr. Sekhon. I have to force myself to take it easy because I feel so “normal” I had L2 through L5 laminectomies and bilateral foraminotomies and results are amazing.

I was referred to Dr.

I was referred to Dr. Sekhon by another pain specialist in town. My pain specialist had tried all of the prescribed conservative treatments and none of them had any effect on the debilitating pain I was suffering. My symptoms progressed amazingly fast. I went from having some trouble walking to not being able to walk, sit or stand in a matter of about 3 weeks. For all intents and purposes I was crippled. Dr. Sekhon saw immediately that I was a candidate for surgery. The hope he gave me was the first hope I had experienced in a long time. When I was finished with my surgery I was able to walk from the gurney to the hospital bed without any pain at all. I suffered some complications, one of which required a second surgery (I think I did something stupid during my recovery) and one of which required bed rest for a week or so. That, however, was just the beginning. I needed frequent consultations about my problems with the physician’s assistant (Dr. Erickson) and the promptness of his responses and the care he demonstrated were unbelievable. I rarely had to wait more than 5 minutes for a response from Dr. Erickson when I called and when I spoke to him I felt that he really cared about me and my troubles. Dr. Sekhon is a great surgeon, but that is just part of the story. His people clearly pride themselves itself on providing top notch post-op care to their patients, even if the care is needed in the evening or the weekend. I cannot say enough positive things about my experiences with Dr. Sekhon and Nevada Neurosurgery. If you are experiencing leg or back pain do not hesitate to schedule and appointment with this office.

Dr. Sekhon actually takes the time to listen to you, explain things in a way that you can understand and advocates for what is best for you – not for his bottom line. Dr. Sekhon’s team is amazing, they do what they say they will do right away. They call you back very quickly and are always up to date on your case. On my second visit they already knew me by name. This office is such a breath of fresh air and the care they provide is a comfort during an otherwise difficult time.

On my initial visit to Dr Sekhon for a fractured vertebra…

On my initial visit to Dr Sekhon for a fractured vertebra I was seen promptly at my scheduled time. I was seen first by P.A. Greg and then by Greg and Dr. Sekhon. Both seemed to be thoroughly familiar with my situation from a detailed review of all of the information I had provided including the nature of my injury, MRIs and X-rays, and other tests and their results. They each listened intently to my description of current pain symptoms and then completed a test of my leg strength and sensitivity, etc. Dr. Sekhon then described my surgical options including risks and recovery times but stated that at this time he would not recommend surgery (barring further deterioration) since my vertebra fracture appeared to have stabilized. Instead he ordered additional MRIs, and prescribed aquatic therapy, to be possibly followed by lumbar ablation after my next visit for my lower back pain. Both men had great bedside manners and made me feel I was in good hands.

Dr sekhon and his staff were very knowledgeable and just wonderful people I recovered 100% and if anyone ask me I would 100% recommend Dr.Sekhon and his staff for any health concerns or care that they need!!

I had seen a few

I had seen a few doctors before I found Dr. Sekhon and his staff. The other surgeons and offices acted like it was a bother to help me, but NOT Dr. Sekhon’s office. They all truly care about you and getting you better. They listen to you and make sure you are taken care of. They even worked me in when I ended up in the ER due to issues with my neck. I would highly recommend using Nevada Neurosurgery!!! I will always recommend them and continue to use them. They are ALL true professionals.

Dr. Sekhon performed a multi-level cervical decompression and fusion on me this past April. I am very fortunate to have world class medical care available. Couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon and staff. I pray my family members never require surgery, but if they do, they would be going to him and I would be sleeping easier knowing they were in his care. Thank you!!!!

My experience was great in every area. The staff was always pleasant, helpful and professional. Greg Graves was always understanding, helpful and a good listener. I am very grateful that Dr. Sekhon was recommended to me. I am thankful for the restored function and use of my leg. I have shared my recommendation for him to several others who suffer back pain. Thank you to the team who made this somewhat daunting experience a good one.

It has been a long

It has been a long procedure. I am finally having some days without pain. My back is all healed now and I have physical therapy two days a week. The concern for my health and care were quite evident with Dr. Sekhon, Greg, and the staff at Nevada Neurosurgery. At the age of 85, and the mess my back was in, surgery was a challenge for everyone. Dr. Sekhon did a wonderful job, and I know that the continuous pain that I was in has come to an end. Thank you, Dr. Sekhon, Greg and your staff, for making my life livable again. Jo Ritter

Dear Dr. Sekhon & Staff,

After 11+ years of neck problems and with numerous attempts to fix it with PT, epidurals, chiropractic care and laser I chose to finally have ACDF and it’s the best medical decision I’ve ever made! No more pain and I feel like a new human being – THANK YOU!

I visited two surgeons 8

I visited two surgeons 8 years ago but didn’t proceed since it was a major fusion surgery and I hoped the procedures would improve over time. I consulted two surgeons again in January 2016. Dr. Sekhon was clear and straightforward in his evaluation. He gave me a more conservative surgery option than the other surgeon I consulted. The surgery included a L4-L5 decompressive laminectomy, bilateral foraminotomies and posterior lumbar fusion. I always had some daily back pain plus my back would “go out” every couple months. The last few years I also had pain down my legs from my sciatic nerves. After the surgery, I had no pain down my legs and my previous aching back pain was gone. The pain from the surgery improved every week. As soon as I was released from the hospital, I was walking on my own and now at week seven of recovery, I walk and have started using an exercise bike every day. Dr Sekhon, his assistant Greg and staff always gave the care, concern and information I needed. I like to be active but always had my back pain limiting my activities. I recently retired and I know this surgery will help me continue to enjoy an active lifestyle. I am so glad Dr Sekhon was my surgeon. I believe selecting the right surgeon is key to back surgery and I would recommend Dr Sekhon to anyone.

In Dec. 2017 I experienced

In Dec. 2017 I experienced the worse back pain imaginable, I was in agony 24/7 and pain pills had little or no effect. I was going to the VA and they out sourced me to Dr. Sekhorn. Due to red tape at the VA I did not have surgery until March 7th. I was as low as you could be in pre-op thinking nothing could help. I spent a total of 28 hours in Renown Hospital and walked out the next day after surgery. It is now 7 weeks post-op and I am back to full time work and have no pain at all. Nothing short of a miracle, I shall be in Dr. Sekhon debt for ever.

In 2006 I suffered a level 5 brain aneurysm that ruptured. I live 3 1/2 hours away from Reno. I was flown to the hospital where Dr. Sekhon performed a life saving surgery of coiling the ruptured vessel. Dr. Sekhon had told my husband I have a less than 10% chance of surviving through the night. Here it is in 2018 and I am back to full capabilities with only minor side effects that I have learned to live with. I have met with him since then and the level of care that he provides is above what most doctors do. I appreciate his honesty and most of all I appreciate he was the doctor who performed my surgery. If any one wants to know what type of doctor he is, I can tell you first hand he is amazing!

Dr. Sekhon performed my third back surgery. It was extensive and he took the time to explain that if he repaired the 6 injured discs, ( in one surgery, vs only doing one at a time) I would avoid the repeat surgeries and years of pain I would experience doing them singly. He and his staff (particularly Greg G.) were fantastic to work with. They gave me their undivided time and attention and never hesitated to answer questions or give me the frank responses I requested. I wouldn’t lose a moment’s sleep if I ever had to have surgery with them for any reason. I highly recommend Dr. Sekhon and his team!!

Dr. Sekhon and his entire staff could not have been better during a very stressful time for me and my family. Dr. Sekhon was very patient in explaining the reason for surgery and was great about answering all my questions. Most importantly, he was able to put me at ease on the morning of surgery with his confident and relaxed manner. The post-operative care was also first rate. Someone was available around the clock to answer questions or concerns that I had during the recovery period and, when I had to leave a message for someone that wasn’t immediately available, I always got a same-day return call. I have since talked to people in the Reno area, both lay people and people within the medical profession, and have gotten very positive opinions of Dr. Sekhon from every one of them. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sekhon to friends and family.

I had Neck and shoulder

I had Neck and shoulder pain for years which has been cured after 6 week after operation. I had 5 cervical vertebrae fused and titanium wires and screws put into cervical area . This straightened out a very crooked neck with a pinched spinal cord and herniated disc .Dr Sekhon was a wonderful surgeon who let me know what I was in for before I signed up for the surgery. I also interviewed 2 other surgeons but picked Dr Sekhon because of the number of these surgeries he had already done with great success. He was personable , informative, answered all questions and looking at x rays post op I can tell that he really straighten out my neck. My wife says my posture is better and that I got taller. I am now walking 5-7 miles per day and sleeping better and original pain is completely gone. I am going back to teaching skiing in 6 more weeks and just thank God for the doctors skill and the professionalism of his whole staff.

Dr. Sekhon is the type

Dr. Sekhon is the type of Doctor that sits beside you and explains your situation. He explains to you the steps he would like to take for whatever is wrong with you. In my case, I have Chiari malformation. We went through all options to reduce the symptoms associated with Chiari. He is very thorough with his patients. After trying and exhausting my options to kick my symptoms, surgery was the next step. I trusted him with my life. Brain surgery was the last thing I ever thought I would have to face. Going back in the operating room, I knew i was in good hands. All you need to do is meet him, read his testimonials, reviews, hear from other doctors and read about all of his achievements. I have had the best recovery hands down. I am currently 16 days post op and I feel amazing for someone who just underwent brain surgery. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for treating me. He is one amazing and caring doctor.

Dr. Sekhon is a godsend!

Dr. Sekhon is a godsend! I have been struggling with lower back pain for years and have tried everything from chiropractic, to massage, to acupuncture, to injection therapy. I’ve been diagnosed with bulging discs in L4-L5 & L5-S1 and was told that the pain was due to the discs being inflamed and degenerated… and that the ONLY course of action was to fuse L5-S1. I decided on my own to start decompression therapy… and that did help the bulging discs, but the pain would not go away and felt like it was just getting worse. The diagnosis from my previous doctor was right and wrong… the pain is in the facet joints of L4-L5, not the discs. Thank you, Dr. Sekhon for reading my MRI and X-Rays and finding the real cause of my pain. The joint is arthritic and the nerves are inflamed. One cortisone shot later in each side and a prescription for a nerve medication and I’m feeling like a million bucks! I’m exercising again, walking my dog to the point of her being exhausted instead of me crying in pain, and I’m just loving life again. The weekend after the shot, I did a 5 mile hike… something I haven’t been able to do in years. I’ve been telling everyone I know about Dr. Sekhon and how he’s all about fixing the problem instead of doing surgery when it’s not necessary like some practices. I could kiss him! He saved me from what would have been a failed and unnecessary fusion.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I had a lumbar spinal

I had a lumbar spinal fusion, and it is now 5 months post-op. My pain level is virtually non-existent, I have gotten back to many of the activities I enjoyed before the pain set in, and I feel joy once again. From the moment I met Dr. Sekhon, I knew I found the perfect surgeon for me. He spent 45 minutes with my husband and I during my initial consult. He is extremely compassionate, thoughtful, and confident in how he can help his patients and their caregivers. Never did I feel a sense of arrogance that many surgeons have, and never did I feel unsure of his surgical abilities. I felt as if he truly cared about restoring my quality of life. Dr. Sekhon, Greg (PA), and Curt (PA) came to see me a total of 8 times in the two day hospital stay- amazing patient care and follow up. Greg came by and called when he said he would, and Curt has taken care of me since I returned home. He is a very genuine person who listens to me, and he responds quickly through the portal or a phone call. Allison, the scheduler, was extremely helpful in advising me of all the things needed before the surgery, and she was always quick to answer an email or phone call. Each visit to Dr. Sekhon’s office was smooth, no long wait times, yet I never felt rushed by anyone. I didn’t think it was possible to have such an amazing surgical experience, but I found it with Dr. Sekhon and his team.

In September of 2016 Dr.

In September of 2016 Dr. Sekhon did an Anterior Cervical Decompression with Fusion at C5-C7. Then in April of 2017 Dr. Sekhon also did a Semi Hemispherical Laminectomy with Microdiscectomy at L5-S1. While I am still healing, I can say that there was immediate relief of pain with both surgeries. The post-op pain was fairly minimal all things considered, easily manageable with the prescribed medication. While not important to me personally, the scarring from the neck surgery is barely noticeable and I suspect after some time will become even less so. It is too soon to tell how the back incision will heal, but I do have a tattoo that had to be cut in order to perform the surgery and Dr. Sekhon definitely took the time to line everything back up to make it look as inconspicuous as possible. Curt Erikson PA-C, one of Dr. Sekhon’s assistants, is a great help, and always takes the time to cover any additional concerns or questions that you may have. Greg Graves PA is also very quick to respond. The entire office staff, from scheduling to admission and billing are always extremely polite, professional and helpful. I would highly recommend Nevada Neurosurgery and Dr. Sekhon. I would also like to thank Allison, Tiffany, Jennifer and all the rest of the office staff that I may and probably have forgotten. I believe that the dedication, training and commitment to excellence shine bright with this team and I will always remember how great my experience with them has been. There is no doubt that if I have another injury requiring surgery, I will be praying it is one Dr. Sekhon and his team can do.

The efficiency of the staff

The efficiency of the staff of this office is phenomenal, like a well oiled machine. I don’t think I have ever been treated with such respect and value. Never once did I feel like I was an inconvenience. Appointments were easy to schedule. There was hardly wait time in the office, but I never felt hurried through an appointment.( Kudos to the office staff.) No matter who I had a question for, my phone call was returned lightening fast. Dr. Sekhon and his PA’s, Curt and Greg, all have a wonderful caring manner.They are very knowledgeable and have compassion for their patients. If you are reading this, you won’t be disappointed if you choose this outstanding team!

I wanted to wait a

I wanted to wait a full year before my testimonial because my two previous surgeries failed within a years period. My previous surgeries were performed by a popular non evasive surgeon in RENO NV. He put in a ILIF that he is big on come to find out no one uses those anymore. Dr Sekhon looked at my MRI and could tell exactly where this Doctor had been hacking. Dr. Sekhon advised me what I needed and what my limitations would be and what I could and couldn’t do and also my options. There was no pressure and the decision was totally up to me. I elected to go with the surgery and am I ever glad I did. After surgery i was pain free and have remained pain free. In fact I have not felt this good in many years and i have to constantly remind myself not to do certain things because there is no pain to remind me. He removed the ILIF and performed a four level fusion. He came to my room the next day to see how I was doing with his assistant. I never saw the previous surgeon even after four office visits. His office continued to check up on me while in the hospital. And when it came time to check out he made sure i was released promptly by calling the nurses, unheard of with my experiences. My only regret is that I didn’t see him first. I am very grateful and fortunate that he was in my area to perform the surgery. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Two months ago, I had lower back fusion surgery with six screws and bolts, etc for chronic back pain. The morning after a late surgery the day before I was walking the halls of the hospital with the aid of a walker. I have had NO more back pain (only surgery healing pain for a while). Dr Sekhon is a jewel. My husband and I have never met a more professional, competent physician. He and his PA and office staff are all extremely competent, respectful and thorough. If you’ve never received a followup packet from a doctor after your FIRST visit, as had been our experience, you WILL receive one from Dr Sekhon soon after your first visit to him. Amazing! I highly recommend him and will go back to him when/if I need further neurosurgery.

I had a laminectomy and a synovial cyst removed in May, 2016. Dr. Sekhon was very knowledgeable and professional and diagnosed the problem promptly. I was in a lot of pain and he got me into surgery without waiting, the surgery went well, I stayed overnight in the hospital and went home the next day. I was able to communicate with his assistant, Greg, whenever I had any questions which was comforting. After a few months I was completely out of pain and have been fine since. I was really impressed with Dr. Sekhon’s training at the Mayo Clinic, his career teaching neurosurgery, and referrals from friends. I would recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone who is concerned about having a successful surgery.

From the moment I was

From the moment I was referred to Dr.Sekhon, he and his office staff were exceptional. Allison, his scheduler, responded quickly by phone and email. Dr.Sekhon spent 45 minutes with my husband and I at our initial consultation, and his calm demeanor put me at ease immediately. He erased my fears and showed great confidence in his ability to help me ( confidence is different than arrogance!). I decided to schedule the spinal fusion after years of failed attempts at other therapies. His two PAs are just phenomenal. Curt responds within just a few hours of calls or emails. My visits with him have been thorough. He even came to see me in the hospital, even though he wasn’t in my surgery. Greg, the PA who was in my surgery, was extremely attentive to my needs. He came to see my 5 times in my two day hospital stay. He called when he said he would call me after I went home. Dr. Sekhon and his team visited me over 8 times in two days following my surgery- that’s the ultimate in patient care! I had zero complications, so I would imagine that if I did, they would have come more frequently. I am now 11 weeks post-op, and I could not be more pleased with the results of Dr. Sekhon’s surgery. I went back to work at 9 weeks (I’m a teacher), and it was perfect timing. I trusted Dr. Sekhon from the moment I met him. I saw another spinal practice before Dr. Sekhon, and I am so glad I decided on Dr. Sekhon. He will be honest with you, give you all your options, help you think about potential issues in the future with each option, and allow you time and space to make your decision. Dr. Sekhon is very conservative in his approach. I felt he, and his staff, truly cared about me and the surgical outcomes. You owe it to yourself to go to the best neurosurgeon in Reno.

I have now had my

I have now had my second spinal fusion with Dr. Sekhon. The first time, I waited too long and was in so much pain I couldn’t even sleep. Fusion of the L4-5 removed the pain instantly. I was amazed at how energized I felt and that I could return to all previous activities. Ten years passed, and I’ve now had the L3-4 fused. The healing process seems easier than before; perhaps due to improved hardware. Dr. Sekhon is skillful, knowledgeable and considerate. He listens to concerns and answers all questions. I felt safe and secure knowing my surgery would turn out well. Dr. Sekhon will guide his patients through the best course of action; I highly recommend him.

I had been having sever

I had been having sever pain from a bulge in my L5S1 for years and was given pain management by a previous doctor the entire time without pushing the severity of my condition I had to reach out for myself. Upon research in the healthcare community which I work I heard nothing but great outcomes and wonderful comments about Dr. Sehkon. His office has been very efficient and the staff is all very nice. I contacted his office the middle of November and was able to get an appointment within a month. I met the doctor and his PA on December 19th and they were straight to the point and answered all questions which I appreciated very much. I’m not one for fluff, neither are they. They know what they are doing and take conservative routes first if they can, all approached with compassion. I had a microdiskectomy scheduled for December 23rd after letting them know I was hoping to get to in before the end of the year for my insurance deductibles. They were completely understanding. I am 3 weeks out from surgery and feel amazing. I couldn’t be happier with a small scar and wonderful follow up. I recommend this office and this doctor for and back and spine problems to everyone!

Robin D.

I was already scheduled for

I was already scheduled for cervical surgery before I found Dr. Sekhon. Due to the region of surgery, I contacted several doctor friends, PT facilities, and personal research on orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons in Northern California. Dr. Sekhon’s name came up several times. After reading several independent articles on Dr. Sekhon, I made an appointment to see (interview) him. He was extremely professional, demonstrated a sincere interest in my situation, was honest about my expectations of success AND what might not work. Additionally, his staff was responsive. I ended up cancelling my surgery with another doctor and went with Dr. Sekhon.
Dr. Sekhon was able to heal my situation and the facility, Northern Nevada Medical Center were fantastic.
I have had over 15 surgeries in my life so I feel somewhat “experienced” with doctors. I would rank Dr. Sekhon as one of the best I have experienced. I would highly recommend speaking with Dr. Sekhon and assess him and his staff for yourself.

Neck surgery in Oct. 2016

Neck surgery in Oct. 2016 was mostly pain free and was in & out of the hospital in 18 hours. No problems experienced other than having to stay free of any activity for a couple of weeks. 90 days later and life is back to normal except skiing & similar activities, until a full year has passed. Greg is very knowledgeable on any questions and also guides you on getting through the first 90 days, so you don’t over do activities, when you feel like you can. I would recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone seeking a needed surgery for neck or spine issues.

John

I referred myself to Dr.

I referred myself to Dr. Sekhon because I was in severe pain. I had x-rays and an MRI done, and had been waiting two weeks just for a consultation somewhere else (with one more week to go). After sending the results of my tests to his office, he reviewed them and made time in his very busy schedule to see me the next day. He is obviously a very compassionate and conscientious doctor because, after recognizing the extent of my problem and pain, I was scheduled for surgery within two weeks – Anterior Cervical Decompression and Instrumental Fusion.
At seven weeks post-op, I am virtually symptom free, a testimony to Dr. Sekhon’s expertise. Thank you so much Dr. Sekhon, Greg (his PA,) and the wonderful and competent staff at SNG! For a spine problem, I will never go anywhere else.

I saw Dr. Sekhon the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and had surgery the following Tuesday. He saw that I was in a very bad position on the verge of having my spinal cord break and becoming paralyzed, and took the immediate steps necessary to repair the damage. I will forever be grateful for his quick action and caring attitude and do not know how to thank a man who has given me so much. I have felt the same care in all of my follow up meetings with Dr. Sekhon and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing neurosurgery.

After treating with physical therapists

After treating with physical therapists and pain management docs for 15+ months at Spine Nevada for chronic lumbar spine issues, I was scheduled for a 5-level back surgery without ever being given the opportunity to meet my surgeon. I was told I would be able to “consult” with Dr. Lynch for the first time on the day of surgery during pre-op, which was unreasonable and unacceptable! Fortunately, I made the wise decision to cancel the surgery and get a second opinion.
I was thereafter referred to Dr. Lali Sekhon, MD, whom I researched online, and was pleased to discover he is widely respected as a brilliant spinal surgeon and educator. I was able to meet and consult with Dr. Sekhon personally within two days of calling his office. Having already carefully reviewed all of my records, Dr. Sekhon provided me with a comprehensive opinion concerning the medical options and potential outcomes. Dr. Sekhon thoroughly, and patiently, answered all of my questions, and with his caring demeanor, I immediately felt secure that I was in the best hands possible.
Dr. Sekhon performed my challenging spinal surgery, and after a 6-week recovery, I am virtually symptom and pain free for the first time since suffering serious back injuries in a 1992 rear-end car accident. Dr. Sekhon has given me my life back – no exaggeration!
I would recommend Dr. Sekhon and his knowledgeable staff to anyone, without hesitation.

He listened to me, and discussed my situation with me in a manner I could understand. He successfully performed what I believe was an extremely complex surgical procedure on me. His aftercare has been excellent, frequently checking on me (I live 220 miles away). I am very grateful to him and his entire staff including his PA Greg Graves.

Very grateful to Dr. Sekhon

Very grateful to Dr. Sekhon , he is a talented surgeon, and to his staff who gave me extensive information and answered all my questions. I am seven weeks into recovery and no longer have the symptoms that led to my diagnosis.
Thank you so much for all your expertise, and again, I am grateful for the successful outcome.

I highly recommend Dr. Sekhon

I highly recommend Dr. Sekhon and his staff at the Sierra Neurological group. I underwent back surgery to correct a bulging disc, displaced vertebrae and spinal stenosis that were causing severe sciatic pain as well as numbness in both legs and feet.
I was pleased with Dr. Sekhon’s bedside manner and all the information he provided me about the procedure I would have to undergo to correct the problem. His PA’s were also very helpful and provided me with excellent information and help throughout the hospital stay as well as my recovery period.
The office staff are also very helpful and responsive to your needs.

I was referred to Dr.

I was referred to Dr. Sekhon by the VA hospital in Reno, NV. Within two weeks I was seen by the doctor and had an excellent review. All options were discussed with both myself and my wife. Within another week I was operated on due to the extent of the problem. Since then there has been six weeks of PT and now has been three months since the surgery and I am doing very well. This has been a very pleasing experience and a wonderful doctor and staff to work with. Thank you to all at Dr. Sekhon’s Office.

Dr. Sekhon performed laminectomy surgery

Dr. Sekhon performed laminectomy surgery on my lumbar spine and carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist. The deficits I experienced, due to lower back stenosis were considerable. Pain in my lower back and stumbling. Post surgery, my pain is nearly gone. Stumbling is non-existent. My wrist pain is gone. Dr. Sekhon is a excellent surgeon. His staff is very helpful and friendly. Dr. Sekhon’s PA , Greg Graves, was a stalwart of support to me in all aspects of my recovery. I could have not chosen a more qualified surgeon. I’m four months post surgery.

I had disc fusion and laminetomy surgery the end of March and am now pain free. Dr. Sekhon and his staff are wonderful – professional, helpful, and always there to help. Dr. Sekhon spent time before the surgery to explain the procedure, what to expect during the hospital stay and once I got home. So far, he’s been spot on. I’m currently at 3 months post op and feel great. Dr. Sekhon is a great surgeon and his PA, Greg, is wonderful. I’m so glad they were my surgery team!

Your team was great, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. My surgery went great for me, I have had little to no pain throughout my recovery process. Dr. Sekhon is the best in my eyes. He is thorough and precise, friendly and caring. i am about to start PT and feel I can reach my goals. Over all I would gladly recommend their services to any of my friends here in Nevada.

Carol S Kane

I saw Dr. Sekhon as

I saw Dr. Sekhon as a referral from another physician who was treating me for back and spinal issues after seeing that I was now having structural deformities and my situation was more than just pain management. That physician told me that he would only refer his patients to Dr. Sekhon and no other neurosurgeon in the area. He also said that if he had to have back surgery that Dr. Sekhon would be the only one he would go to for the surgery.
After my MRI was submitted to Dr. Sekhon and reviewed I was called by his office to set up an appointment. His appointments were booked about 2 months out at the time so I made an appointment. I was called right before Christmas and told that there was a cancellation and asked if I could come in the next day, which I did. Dr. Sekhon showed me the MRI and how three of my discs were crushing my spinal column. He told me that unless I had the surgery soon that the nerves would die and I would suffer paralysis. He was very good in explaining everything that would happen during the surgery and post-op recovery and physical therapy afterwards. His explanations were so thorough that I had no questions to ask. I then called the next day to schedule surgery which was set for 4 weeks in the future.
The surgery was performed as scheduled. When I woke up in the recovery room most of my back and leg pain was already gone and some of the structural issues were already being resolved. He visited me twice in the hospital and explained what happened during surgery and assessed my current condition.
I was then set up with follow up appointments about 6 weeks apart to assess the status of my recovery and was put on a physical therapy program. I was also taken off all of the drugs that I had been taking for years as I no longer needed them. I no longer have any back pain or leg pain and the physical therapy is now restoring my functions that had been severely impeded in the 4+ years before my surgery.
I would strongly encourage anyone seeking neurosurgery to see Dr. Sekhon first before getting a second opinion. In retrospect, I should have seen Dr. Sekhon earlier and could have relieved a lot of pain and suffering that I needlessly endured for over 4 years.

Dr. Sekhon has been treating

Dr. Sekhon has been treating my L4/5 spine degeneration for the last 3 years.
His approach has always been full disclosure of the risks and rewards of each procedure.
Working in conjunction with a pain specialist, we have been able to stabilize my back with minimal surgical intervention.
Last year my wife developed severe leg pain and after a failed surgery at another facility, I took her to see Dr. Sekhon. He knew immediately what the problem was and within 4 days she was in his operating room.
Her recovery has been rapid and steady. She recently was able to return to golf; something we weren’t sure would ever happen again.
Nevada Neurosurgery gave us both our lives back. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Sekhon and his staff.

Dr. Sekhon is an outstanding

Dr. Sekhon is an outstanding doctor is clearly explained the issues with my back, procedures he recommends, and what the surgery would involve. He was very clear with the explanations, gave me a feeling of comfort with him as my surgeon, and the surgery went very well and quite successful. I recommend him to anyone considering surgery.

I would like to say

I would like to say how fortunate I am to have found Dr. Sekhon for the second surgery I was needing from complications due to a previous surgery 17 years earlier. I have referred about 6 new possible patients to him as of now, and plan to refer anyone I meet along my path to Dr. Sekhon. Also, I would like to mention that his surgical assistant Greg is a wonderful combination with Dr. Sekhon. Both exude all the professionalism, sincerity and last but not least of all masterful skill in their field of neurological medicine unlike no other I’ve come across in my 46 years.

My first surgery on my

My first surgery on my L5 S1 was done at Kaiser Sacramento the end of October. By the time I realized the surgery wasn’t successful I was due to start Medicare and lose Kaiser. My husband is a patient of Dr. Sekhon so he started the process of getting me seen as soon as I had my Medicare. I saw him on a Thursday and had surgery the following Monday after he saw the problem on my MRI. My leg pain was immediately gone. I am in my second week of PT, 8 weeks post-op. I know it will take at least a year to be 100% but so much better now. Plus, he said I could golf this summer. I have already recommended him to several friends having constant back pain. And his Physician Assistant Greg is wonderful.

If you were like me

If you were like me and were facing spinal/back surgery, and had heard all of the horror stories that about 90% of the people that had these were the same or worse off than before the surgery, you would certainly try and wait until you found that “top neurosurgeon” that everyone is looking to find. After developing structural problems that my pain management doctor could not address, he ordered a new MRI. After getting the radiologist report he said that he was coming to refer me for a surgical consultation with Dr. Sekhon. That doctor, and two of my other doctors, all said that if they had to have back/spinal surgery that Dr. Sekhon is the only doctor that they would let operate on them. I thought that this was a good recommendation so I set up an appointment to see Dr. Sekhon after he had studied my MRI. My wife went with me to our first visit. We found Dr. Sekhon to be very concerned about my condition and he took a lot of time to review the MRI scans, both from the side and from the to down, and explained what was going on. He said that if I did not have the surgery soon that I risked some of the nerves dying and that would cause permanent paralysis. He explained exactly what he would do in the surgery and had models of the spine for this particular procedure so I could see the results before and after surgery. Even I could see from the MRI scans how bad the compression of my spine had become so I called the next day to set up a date or surgery pending insurance approval. I did have another appointment with one of Dr. Sekhons PA’s who went over all of the pre-surgical procedures so I was completely prepared of what I was facing. They also told me that I would have to go to physical therapy, for from 4 to 10 weeks, after the surgical staples were removed. Dr. Sekhon also told me that it would take 3 months before healing was complete and it would take 12-13 months to fully recover from the surgery assuming that I went for the physical therapy.
On the day of surgery Dr. Sekhon came into the pre-surgical area and again explained the procedure in detail and mentioned all of the possible risks and side effects of the surgery. He then had the anesthesiologist come and talk with me about the procedure. Upon waking up in the recovery room I already felt that the pain and numbness in my legs and feet were already gone. He came in my hospital room the next day to talk about the surgery and how well it went.
My follow up appointments at 2 and 6 weeks went very well and the physical therapy is helping me to do things that I was not able to do the last 4 years. Dr. Sekhon and his staff took and genuine interest in my case and me as a person. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending him for neurosurgery of any kind. I am only 6 weeks out of the hospital and my recovery seems to be amazingly well. If I would have known the positive outcome of these results I would have HAD this surgery some time GO.

During physical therapy post full

During physical therapy post full hip replacement, I had continuous pain that would not abate. my therapist concluded after repeated attempts to solve my discomfort that my hip was not the source of the pain but rather my spine and identified the cause as L2/L3. Joel Peck(my P/T) suggested I contact Dr.Sekhon,as he had patients from Dr. Sekhon and told me Dr. Sekhon was the best. My visits prior to determaining that surgery was the only option left, Dr. Sekhon and his staff(Curt/Eric) tried the options available to reduce/end my pain. Prior to surgery, Dr. Sekhon explained in detail exactly what the surgery would entail, the rehab, percent of success of the surgery and the time required to rehab and return to my “normal”life.The day after surgery(11/18/15) I was up and walking the halls with absolutely NO PAIN!!!, needless to say I was beyond happy.
Dr. Sekhon and his staff are without a doubt, the most skilled, professional, caring and concerned group I have ever had the pleasure of being treated.As of 02/11/16, my brace came off, the x-rays showed all was solid and I will begin physical therapy within a couple of day.
I have told others I know with spine/back issues, Dr. Sekhon and staff are the only ones to see.
Thank you Dr. Sekhon, Curt and Greg for all you have done, words cannot express the appreciate I have.

Dr. Sekhon’s attitude, demeanor and

Dr. Sekhon’s attitude, demeanor and knowledge at our pre-surgery meeting allayed all my fears and concerns that the surgery was what I needed. His surgeon’s skills were evident in the fact that I had minimal pain from the surgery site after the operation. The stabbing back pain is gone. Follow-up visits to the office were always punctual, compassionate and caring. Problems were always taken care of immediately. I will not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone I know who has back problems.

I was seen with Multilevel

I was seen with Multilevel lumbar degenerative disk disease, severe spinal stenosis with a congenitally narrow canal, L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4 and L4-L5. And, peripheral polyneuropathy. Dr. Sekhon and his team performed an L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5 decompressive laminectomy and bilateral foraminotomies. After surgery, I was walking as soon as I woke up. Nominal pain – in fact, I left the prescribed meds alone after about a week. As well, my recovery has been fantastic.

Dr. Sekhon and his staff have been superb! (A term I never use) Professional. Factual. Very knowledgeable. Communicative and helpful. If you are considering any of Dr Sekhons’ services, I would not hesitate to recommend Sierra Neuro!!

I had a quadruple Laminectomy

I had a quadruple Laminectomy 6 months ago by Dr Sekhon. When you meet him, you’ll know you’re in good hands. He sits beside you, & explains everything related to your case. I’m not exaggerating, when I say he’s smartest person I’ve ever met. He treats you like you are one of his family. Everyone in his office is friendly, & efficient. The nurses, & office staff are top notch. Greg Graves, one of his pa’s, (I’ve had minimal contact with the other one), is great also. I have some other health issues, & they make sure they are taken care of . They follow up on my back to make sure I get the the best care. when you meet Dr. Sekhon you’ll know you made the right decision…………….

I’m not one to do

I’m not one to do testimonials, typically, but I was very impressed with my experience at Sierra Neurosurgery, and Dr Sekhon in particular.
I fell and injured my spinal cord at work, and my ability to walk, stand balanced and move around were rapidly diminishing. Day, by day my symptoms were getting worse. During my first visit with Dr. Sekhon, he reassured me that he was going to fix the problem. I had some doubt but my fears and concerns were put to rest by his professionalism and confidence. I was ready for surgery. From that first appt on everything moved very rapidly. My pre-op work, MRI’s and preparation happened very quickly. I was ready to move forward.
My surgery was about 12 weeks ago. My experience at the hospital as well as subsequent visits to Sierra Neurosurgery have been excellent. Curt in the office as well as Dr Sekhon are very attentive, concerned and professional. I am extremely grateful to them and their staff.
I still have a few symptoms, but day by day I am progressing and I am looking forward to a complete recovery. Something I wouldn’t have thought possible just a short time ago.

I was in constant nerve

I was in constant nerve leg pain and putting off surgery for 2 years. I couldn’t walk more then 50 feet without leaning on a shopping cart or sitting down. I’d do my errands in the morning and sit or lay down in the rest of the day. I’d heard and seen horror stories from others about their back surgeries but I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. Dr. Sekhon was referred by three different Doctors and Physical Therapists. Dr. Sekhon and his staff are very friendly and helpful. I’m sorry I waited so long to have Dr. Sekhon do the surgery.

I have had back and

I have had back and neck problems for the last 13 years seeing several neurosurgeons throughout the years. Within the last two years my fingers and arms started having a numbness/tingling in them. When it finally came down to being told that I had to have my neck operated on (C4-C7 fusion) this year, I was scared to death to have it done so I decided to have 3 opinions. Fortunately for me Dr. Sekhon came highly recommended. Dr. Sekhon and his PA Greg saw me within days of seeing my MRI’s/reports, they answered all my questions, concerns, were exceptionally kind, truly cared about me as a patient & never rushed through my appointments. Dr. Sekhon and Greg along with the staff were by far the most caring. I had my surgery in May, the fusion took very nicely and although I’m still healing and going to physical therapy I can’t even say enough good about how pleased I am that I chose Dr Sekhon. A huge thank you to Dr. Sekhon, Greg & the staff for being so caring.

I am a 61 year

I am a 61 year old athlete and I suffered with sever stenosis and spinal nerve impingement for the last 8-10 years. Being am an avid outdoor enthusiast who LOVES skiing, hiking and Mt Biking, then having to stop all of these sports because of the severe pain in both legs and constant cramps in my hamstrings and calf’s. I was devastated and mentally depressed. I literally could not walk over 100 yards without having to stop…the daily pain became unbearable. Huge doses of pain meds was not an option for me.
The L3-L4-L5-S1 laminectomy preformed by this skillful surgeon gave me back my life, literally. The same day of surgery, I instantly felt the pain relief and the complete elimination of all my leg muscle cramps.
Since my surgery (16 days ago) I have walked pain free for over 40 miles, started my P.T. and now enjoy light gym workouts. I expect a FULL recovery in the next 3-4 week and an awesome much more active life again. The professionalism of his staff and follow-up was impeccable.
I strongly recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone in need of a Neurosurgeon, my only regret was waiting too long to make my decision to have surgery….Tahoe Joe

I was referred to Dr.

I was referred to Dr. Sekhon by the orthopedic Dr. our family has been seeing when he determined that the problem wasn’t something to do with a previous procedure. I knew from the first visit with Dr. Sekhon that the only thing on his agenda was to cure my ailments with the least yet most effective and non-invasive procedures. It has worked out wonderful and I couldn’t be happier. I hope anyone with a nerve type of problem will at least talk to Dr. Sekhon before going elsewhere. I think you will also be impressed.

Dr. Sekhon saw me after

Dr. Sekhon saw me after I broke my neck Snowboarding in Mammoth, CA. They air lifted me to Reno to have surgery done by Dr. Sekhon. My first surgery was 8 hours after my injury. I ruptured my c5 and split my c6 in half. They had to go in and pull some pieces of bone out of my spinal cord.
I am a 24 year old, very active male. I surf, snowboard, and workout daily. Dr. Sekhon promised me I would be able to do all three again when I was done with my surgery. It has been two months since my surgery and I am thankful for this man everyday of my life. He is most likely the reason I am walking today.
Being in the hospital the first night alone was one of the scariest , loneliest, nights of my life. Everyone in the ICU was AMAZING and made sure I had everything I needed. Dr. Sekhon, and the whole staff at the hospital in Reno, thank you for everything!

Trevor Howard

Dr. Lali Sekhon has been

Dr. Lali Sekhon has been a true blessing in my life. 7 years ago I had a bad snowboarding accident in Mammoth, CA and I was diagnosed with a severe L2 burst fracture with spinal cord compression. I needed emergency surgery and was lucky enough to have Dr. Sekhon perform the procedure. From the moment we met them, Dr. Sekhon and his team communicated compassionately and thoroughly to my family and I about what was happening, and always made sure we understood what my plan of care was.
I barely have a scar from the surgery, and am confident that it is because of his care and expertise that I’m walking today. Dr. Sekhon did an amazing job from start to finish, and today I am walking, doing yoga, surfing, started a business, and am enjoying life like I was before my accident.
Dr. Sekhon has followed up with me consistently since the accident. Even though I’m living across the country now, I can contact him as needed with questions and direction for care. He is prompt with providing me answers to many the many questions I had after my procedure, and has been there for me all the way.
I highly recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone looking for exceptional care, cutting edge medical treatment, and a positive and bright ending to what might have at first looked like a life changing tragedy.

On my first visit with Dr. Sekhon he explained my problem with visual clarity using my MRI. There was no problem with accepting his recommendation of performing surgery on L5, L4, L3 and removing the Lamina section of the vertebra that was pinching nerves in my right leg. When I entered his office for my first visit I was using a walker, and when I recovered from surgery I was walking straight up without the aid of the walker and absolutely no pain. It has been several months now and every thing is great. Dr. Sekhon has my whole hearted recommendation from me and my family.

I have had back problems for the last 12 years.After advice from my spine Doctor and eight procedures he recommended a neurosurgeon. My primary recommended three. Dr Sekhon was the first so i called for a appointment.Operater said I will transfer you to Dr Sekhon office [. Very poor system ] after a 2 minute wait and nothing but a peep I termanited call .Made appointment with DR : 2 He just wanted togive me another epidural and physical therphy so Dr 3 no appojntment for 6 weeks so I called Dr Sekhon office direct,and made a appointment for 3 weeks.Dr Sekhon took the time to explain in detail two operations and the % of sucess.butfirst he wanted me to take some meds to relive the pain with no sucess. Dr Sekhon was the only Dr to to have the compassion and understand the daily pain that i was enduring,so he agreed to a operation.

Dr. Sekhon performed neck surgery

Dr. Sekhon performed neck surgery on me in 2011 therefore I knew he was the doctor I wanted to discuss my back pain with.

All my concerns and questions were answered completely.

Nicolas Padilla

Dr. Sekhon in my opinion

Dr. Sekhon in my opinion is the best there is when it comes to back & neck issues. I originally was referred to Dr. Sekhon in 2010 when I had ruptured a disc in my neck. He sat down with me and explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions and together we decided for a discectomy and fusion. My husband had the same surgery years ago and the surgeon used a piece of bone from his hip, he still suffers from aches and pains years later, so this was a worry for me. Dr. Sekhon is up to date on all the new techniques and is minimally invasive as possible and was able to reassure me that I would not need this option. I had my surgery quickly and the relief was instant. I was able to go back to work at my office job within a week and healed amazingly fast. In 2014 I found myself with an injured back with no remedy from non surgical treatments. When my doctor asked me if I had a preference of doctors, I knew immediately that I needed to be under Dr. Sekhon’s care again. Surgery was needed and I was at ease knowing that I would be under the best care. I had a laminectomy done on my lower back and everything went as expected. I returned to work 2 weeks later and by my 12 week post op I was back to good again. I have to also mention Greg, who is the PA for Dr. Sekhon, who is also amazing at what he does and is always available to answer any questions and give advice. I work at a business where I get a lot of guest who are in town for medical reasons and if they are in need of a neck/back specialist, I always refer them to Dr. Sekhon and I even have family members who are now seeing him. I can’t thank your team enough for your professionalism, care and concern about my health.

Dr. Sekhon is fantastic. His staff is fantastic. I had other Doctors evaluate him prior to my surgery and he has a fantastic record and reputation.On my first visit, he was prepared and had printed out a packet of information on my condition and recommended surgery as there was no other course of action to be taken. I felt relief from my symptoms immediately after I woke up in the recovery room. Don’t get me wrong, I was in pain from the surgery, but I could tell that I had my left arm and left leg back.As of this date, 11/7/14, I’m just 10 days short of 2 months since my surgery. I have just been cleared to resume my normal life. To get back to running and exercise! I am grateful to Dr. Sekhon and his entire team for giving my life back, with 100% use of my left leg and arm, PAIN and SYMPTOM FREE! I recommend Dr. Sekhon and his team without reservation!!!

Recently, I had a spinal surgery performed by Dr. Sekhon. Because of my experiences with his practice prior to the surgery, on the day of surgery, during the aftercare and then follow-up, I can honestly say that he is elite among his peers in every way!
On my 2nd appointment with his practice, I met with Dr. Sekhon. I found that he had prepared for my appointment by being familiar with my case already. No time was wasted! He presented me with a packet of info that was specific to my situation, and he very patiently and thoroughly went through the packet, teaching me what I should know in order to make a decision for my health care. That was a very unique and much appreciated experience! Every appointment at Dr. Sekhon’s practice was like this, whether I met with Dr. Sekhon or his P.A.s Greg and Curt. It’s evident that patient education and the ‘doctor to patient communication’ is a priority at the practice and I can testify that it is excellent!
Dr. Sekhon and his staff completely prepared me for my surgery and made all the arrangements so that everything went smoothly and professionally! He gave me the impression that he actually wanted to help me and was actually interested in doing my surgery. Because of this I really was confident in Dr. Sekhon on the day of surgery and was not disappointed! My surgery was a complete success!

Early this year I was

Early this year I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis and after MRI, x-ray and physical exams, laminectomy was prescribed with surgery on August 18, 2014. Now, nearly two months after surgery I am close to 100% and all pain and difficulty with my back has been mitigated. I am very happy with the surgery results and can recommend Dr. Sekhon without reservation.

I have nothing but highest

I have nothing but highest praise for Dor. Sekhon on the recent surgery he performed. on me. Before the surgery he explained fully the process and that full recovery was to be expected.. I feel I have made a full recovery. I made it through ReHab without any problems and have returned to my regular schedule at my gym.. I am off all medications now. I also want to thank Dr. Sekhon’s assistants , Curt and Greg for their help throughout and after the operation.

After reviewing all my test

After reviewing all my test and then explaining how the neck surgery will be done I was very pleased. I was very pleased in the manner Dr Sekhon explained how the surgery will correct my pain. Staff was very helpful an courtesy in keeping me informed on paper work, scheduling and to call them anytime if I have questions
Before and after surgery Dr Sekhon and all surgery personnel took the time to see if I had any questions and made sure I was OK after surgery.

Meeting with Dr Sekhon was

Meeting with Dr Sekhon was the start of a very successful back surgery. I felt at a loss over how I would obtain any relief from my constant lower back pain. He is a very gifted professional and did not try to force me into anything. The first meeting involved many questions and answers that made me comfortable about what needed to be done. He and his staff were always available and follow ups were timely. I’m at 7 weeks post surgery doing physical therapy feeling strong and happy.

I have seen Dr. Sekhon

I have seen Dr. Sekhon twice and I am very satisfied with his time and attention. He is very professional as is his staff. He explains symptoms and cures so I can understand it.
Last year I was told by two different surgeons that I needed back surgery. When I saw Dr. Sekhon, he told me I did not. It is a pleasure to see a doctor who is not rushing me in to surgery.

I am a new patient

I am a new patient with Dr. Sekhon. He has exceptional credentials and is very kind. A complete documentation of the office visit is sent to the patient which is great for your files. The staff in the office are great and upbeat. What’s not to like.

I have been very pleased

I have been very pleased with every aspect of my experience with Dr. Sekhon, from the initial interview, through his analysis of my medical issues, exhausting all conservative approaches before recommending surgery, and then thoroughly explaining the procedure to my complete satisfaction. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr. Sekhon and his Physician Assistants to anyone with similar medical issues.

Daniel H Relf

Dr. Sekhon gave me my

Dr. Sekhon gave me my life back. For that I will be eternally grateful. By the time I became a patient of his I was suffering from severe back disc and bone spur problems which had affected my mobility and quality of life to the point where I had none. I was also experiencing 24/7 nerve pain down my left leg that no pain medication could treat successfully. I could not walk, nor could I sit without being in pain.

I had been a new resident of Reno, NV, for only 1 week when my husband noticed how much pain I was in and placed a call to Dr. Sekhon’s office hoping for an appointment. His staff could not have been more professional – they got us in within a week. Dr. Sekhon promptly reviewed my medical records, assessed my condition and recommended surgery within a month, as it was the only alternative for relief given my condition. I had discectomy/laminectomy surgery, was home within 3 days and fully recovered with the help of Physical Therapy in 4 months. I’m a new person free of back pain. It is truly remarkable

Dr. Sekhon is an outstanding Physician, extremely knowledgeable in his field, and his Patient/Doctor protocol is excellent. I highly recommend that anyone with ailments such as mine seek his counsel for treatment. I could not be happier with the care he provided me, and I will continue to seek his guidance in the future if I have back problems.

I had a great experience

I had a great experience with Dr. Sekhon and his staff, before my laminectomy and after. They were prompt with callbacks and provided very clear instructions and education. Being a nurse, I enjoyed the office visits being longer and not feeling like I was being herded in and out as fast as possible. They were sensitive to my needs and made me feel very at ease.

Donna Levering

I consider myself to be

I consider myself to be fortunate to be a past and current patient of Dr. Sekhon’s. Dr. Sekhon is extremely knowledgeable in his field of medicine. I appreciate that as my doctor he goes over my physical complaint- and then my tests and films explaining very carefully what my condition is and what my options are each time I see him. Dr. Sekhon’s conservative approach is very important to me – and yet I also value when he says “it needs to be fixed” and this is how we will do it.
Having everything explained and reviewed is very important to allow me to be involved in my own healthcare. During my last two visits I felt that after a review and repeat of my options that I was given time to ask questions and I feel that I have some options at this time.
Again, I feel very fortunate to be a patient of such an experienced and knowledgeable Doctor.

Dr. Lali Sekhon and Curt

Dr. Lali Sekhon and Curt Erickson, PA-C were tremendous. I was extremely nervous about my neck surgery and they both made myself, and my family, feel very at ease. They both patiently explained what was going to happen, explained what the pro’s and con’s of my surgery were, and what to expect afterwards. When later I developed an infection in my neck, I knew just what to do because of their keen foresight.

They both generally cared about what my family and I needed. (They were even able to save my goatee by taping it up and moving it out of the way!!!!!)

Highly recommended to anyone who needs surgery or just some plain good advice.

Thank you very much,

Not knowing what to expect

Not knowing what to expect I was greatly pleased with Dr. Sekhon. He provided information about my condition — about what could be done and what couldn’t be done, My husband and I both felt he gave us his honest opinion about my back. He provided a course of action that seems reasonable and we can follow up with. I was also impressed with the written report he provided to me and my other doctors. I would recommend Dr. Sekhon to others.

Dr. Sekhon is an amazing

Dr. Sekhon is an amazing doctor, and though he is a neurosurgeon is not disposed to use surgery as the first option………..he not only sent me to physical therapy which has been very helpful for my long time back and leg pain, but has recommended that I see a foot doctor to help correct my gait. He is very thorough and caring as well as extremely professional. I am so happy to have found a doctor who has made such a positive change in my life. Thank you, Dr. Sekhon

Dr Sekhon, is a soft

Dr Sekhon, is a soft spoken gentleman who took the time to explain my injury in detail. We went over all my options. I had already tried many homeopathic options and was reluctant for surgery, Been a former athlete I was very concerned about limiting my activities after surgery especially with 4 young children. We agreed upon surgery. It has been 6 weeks since surgery and not only do I feel strong and certain of its success, I was totally prepared for the surgery due to the detailed explanations of him and his PA’s who revisited many of my concerns a couple of times. Been prepared in my mind is key to a fast recovery and I was able to get that from him and his office. I would / and have already recommend him. Thanks a Million Dr Sekhon.

Lise Wosick

Dr. Sekhon is the best

Dr. Sekhon is the best Dr. I have ever had with diagnosing and intelligently explaining my symptoms and what would work and the results he was expecting. I have had multiple other surgeries and no other group compares. After surgery, my major pain was gone. He listens to you to be sure you understand. I have already recommended other friends to seek his council. You will not go wrong with Dr. Sekhon for a first or second opinion, all the PA’s with his group are all awesome also. Your in good hands.

I have nothing but good

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Sekhon and all of his staff. When you have reached my age, you may have had several different kinds of surgery during your life, as I have had. I have had top notch surgeons for them, but I firmly believe that my experience with Dr. Sekhon and his staff is the best it could ever be. Dr. Sekhon performed a C7-T1 cervical fusion which completely relieved the excruciating pain and weakness in my right arm and six weeks post op I am ready to begin physical therapy and am on my way to being the active person I have always been. His surgical skills are the reason. He is everything anyone could want in a surgeon.
I would also like to praise Greg Graves PA for his kind, informative and caring expertise. I am a retired health care professional, and know what I am talking about when I say Greg is not only knowledgeable but has the ability to instill confidence in his patients and let them know he truly cares about them.

Dr Sekhon is the most

Dr Sekhon is the most brilliant and gifted in his field. He performed a 5-level cervical fusion on me 2 months ago and I am hiking and working out at the gym again. He also performed surgeries on my Dad and step-mother with successful results. He is very conservative and not “surgery happy”. He will only recommend surgery if absolutely necessary. He will educate you on how to get better, but you have to want to work at it. He is not the type of physician to just give you pain pills and hope you feel better…he truly wants you to get better. If you really want to get better, then he is the doctor for you and his staff is amazing!!

Mr. GM

I don’t know all the

I don’t know all the doctors in the world, but I do know that Dr. Sekhon has to be one of the finest. We are so lucky to have his presence in Reno NV.
Dr. Sekhon’s beside manner is second to none. His calmness and knowledge is reassuring in even the most complicated of procedures.
I broke my neck last August and after a long search found Dr. Sekhon who performed surgery on me last October. Six months later I am back to racing my bike and am as strong as I was a year ago…stronger than men and women half my age!

Dr. Sekhon is absolutely the

Dr. Sekhon is absolutely the best! I can’t say enough good things about my experiences with him. His knowledge the way he is able to relate to his patients is truly outstanding. Honestly, the man is a genius. I also want to compliment Curt, his PA, as well as his entire office staff. They are very courteous and professional. I always felt at ease during my appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone in need of his services.

Mrs. G.V.

Dr. Sekhon is the most

Dr. Sekhon is the most kind, patient, caring Doctor I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He takes his time with you and speaks to you in a way that you can understand. He’s very conservative in his approach and is not “surgery happy” like other physicians in his field. Let’s face it, these specialists don’t make their money on office visits….surgeries pay. Dr Sekhon is not the type of physician to give you pain pills and hope you feel better. He wants you to get better! He wants to help manage your pain but he wants you to participate in your recovery as well. You need to do exercises that will help your condition and he provides all the resources you need to do that. Dr. Sekhon did a 5- level cervical fusion on me just 2 months ago and I am hiking and working out at the gym again. If you truly want to get better, then Dr. Sekhon is the spine surgeon for you. He is absolutely brilliant and gifted at what he does and his office staff are all kind, caring and professional. Thank you Dr Sekhon and staff for your wonderful care!!

I had a Lumbar Laminectomy

I had a Lumbar Laminectomy on 12/30/13. It was very scary to think of someone cutting into your back. I was very pleased with the professional way Dr. Sekhon answered all our questions and made me feel confident in his ability. He was the second surgeon we spoke to and we knew as soon as we talked to him he was the one to use! His staff was very helpful and made you feel they truly cared and knew what they were talking about. I couldn’t have been in better hands. I felt great only 1 week out of surgery and was completely pain free and off the drugs. I highly recommend him to anyone that has a back or brain problem, after all, he is a spine and brain surgeon! What more could you ask for?

Dr. Sekhon came highly recommended

Dr. Sekhon came highly recommended several years ago when my wife required surgery on her back. When I developed problems I knew I would choose him as my doctor. He suggests his patients try all other less invasive avenues before surgery, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, they didn’t fix my problem. This doctor explains things thoroughly and in a language lay people can understand. He’s caring, thorough, and shows compassion and understanding to his patients. I have found every member of the staff to be the same. The office staff is very competent and pleasant to deal with. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about my experience with Dr. Sekhon. I would highly recommend him to anyone, anytime. I start my PT in a couple of days and I’m doing exceptionally well. If you have a problem, choose Dr. Sekhon. You won’t be disappointed!

I had severe pain in

I had severe pain in right buttock and right leg for almost five years. Made sitting, getting in and out of cars, stairs and even sleeping extremely painful. Dr. Sekhon’s lumbar surgery completely eliminated all pain which I consider a miracle. Most important was my six week checkup with him. He explained how I have abused my back (5 back surgeries) and how to prevent further problems. No bending, lifting or twisting and therapy to strengthen muscles. He impressed strongly how this is a life changing program for me to adhere to for my life. No other doctor ever talked to me about preventive measures that i should do. Anyone facing spine surgery truly could not find a better doctor. Both for his medical ability and his concern for preventing back problems.

I was referred to DR.

I was referred to DR. Sekhon from a respected friend whose suggestions I highly regard and Sierra Neurosurgery and Dr. Sekhon in particular came highly recommended and I wasn’t disappointed at all. The doctor, and his PA, were both very compassionate, very concerned abut my neck pain and how best to treat it with the most conservative approach that would yield the best results. My entire experience was great and I highly recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone experiencing any neck or back pain.

Frans Nelson

My experience with Dr. Sekhon

My experience with Dr. Sekhon and his staff, esp. Jennifer and Greg, was very positive. The staff promptly returned my phone calls, addressed all my concerns, listened and communicated well with me. From my first appt. with Dr. Sekhon, through the pre surgery lab tests, through the surgery, hospital stay and follow -up appts, I have been delighted in the attention and skill and knowledge of Dr Sekhon and his staff. I underwent a very delicate back surgery, with ample risks and I am, now 6 weeks following my surgery, pain free and healthy.

Mrs GH

I can’t thank Dr. Sekhon

I can’t thank Dr. Sekhon enough for all he did for me. He took what was a scary situation for me and my husband, explained everything we needed to know in great detail and helped us feel comfortable with the prospects of surgery. My surgery experience was EXACTLY what he told me to expect and I appreciated his candor, compassion and his amazing surgical skills. It’s now 4 months after my surgery I am back to my active lifestyle and am running again and feeling healthy and strong. He fixed me!!

Dr. Sekhon is such a skilled surgeon and I’m so grateful that he fixed me. His team is great & with Dr. Sekhon, you’re in good hands!! I think the world of him and can’t recommend him enough!

Kelli Twomey

I was referred to Dr.

I was referred to Dr. Sekhon by my physical therapist following months of terrible sciatic pain, brought on by lumbar stenosis. Dr. Sekhon had already reviewed my MRI and history when I had my first visit. True to his treatment philosophy, he recommended we try an epideral before electing surgery. It was ineffective, and a laminectomy was performed with immediate success. Throughout my experience, the office staff, Dr. Sekhon and his PA were extremely efficient, caring and professional. My confidence in the entire staff put me at ease, knowing I was in good hands. His parting words to me were that they were always there for me if needed. I would recommend him to other patients in a heartbeat!

Dr. Sekhon was very thorough. He never wanted you to do more than was needed. He was quick and to the point. Would answer any questions you wanted to ask. He knew exactly what I needed. His office follows up immediately as will. Great experience.

Mr. WB

I saw Dr. Sekhon because

I saw Dr. Sekhon because I told my neurologist I wanted a second opinion from another neurosurgeon. The first neurosurgeon said everything was fine and sent me to pain management. Dr. Sekhon was the second opinion. He ordered CT scans which the first doctor did not. The CT scans clearly showed that a part of my lumbar fusion had failed and that was causing my pain

Lawrence K.

Dr. Sekhon was very thorough.

Mr. E.R.

Dr. Sekhon and his staff

Dr. Sekhon and his staff immediately put me at ease at my first appointment. After a good discussion, surgery was recommended and scheduled in a timely manner. Dr. Sekhon walked me through the entire surgery process and I became even more confident in his skills. The surgery and recovery went like clockwork and I am now pain free. I can’t thank Dr. Sekhon enough for all he did in giving me my life back.

Bob Bozzuto

I was experiencing severe sciatic

I was experiencing severe sciatic pain in my leg and after months of physical therapy and two lumbar injections my health care professionals recommended getting an updated MRI and a surgical consultation. They recommended Dr. Sekhon and I will be forever thankful for that referral. Dr. Sekhon’s office staff was professional and thorough in preparing me for my first visit. I met with Dr. Sekhon and was immediately put at ease. He had completely reviewed my case in advance and was prepared to discuss my condition and options. Surgery was determined the best course of action. Dr. Sekhon walked me entirely through the surgery process and my confidence in him grew. It is now 7 weeks since surgery and I am fully pain free. I can’t thank Dr. Sekhon enough for all he did in giving me my life back.

Mrs. M.J.

I was very satisfied with

I was very satisfied with my consultation with Dr. Sekhon. He is extremely knowledgeable on LSS and other neck & back problems, plus I do like the fact that he likes to use the conservative approach in treatment. I will definitely be back to see him in the future. His recommendations to me for the treatment for my very painful LSS have been very useful & they have definitely helped relieve me of the very acute pain that I was in.

Mr. H.G.

Thank you Dr. Sekhon for

Thank you Dr. Sekhon for your great surgical skill doing my neck fusion. I woke up in the hospital and all my arm and hand pain was gone. My recovery went very well with very little discomfort. Thank you also for your staff and those who assisted in the surgery. I have told everyone that Dr. Sehkon did my surgery and that I am very pleased with the results. Thanks again

We cannot stress enough how

We cannot stress enough how wonderful our experience with Doctor Sekhon and his staff was. When we first came in we were overwhelmed and more than a little scared. Doctor Sekhon presented us with all the information of what was going on with our case in a manner that was very easy to understand. The surgery was a complete success and we could not be happier with the care before, during, and after provided to us by Dr. Sekhon and his entire staff. Everyone has been just terrific. Doctor Sekhon and his offices come with our highest recommendations and our deepest gratitude.

My entire experience with Dr.

My entire experience with Dr. Sekhon, and his staff, from beginning to now has been terrific. As a Registered Nurse working in the Trauma ICU I have worked with all kinds of physicians and surgeons alike, so I am very confident in saying that Dr. Sekhon genuinely cares about what each individual patient is going through. He always took the time to be PRESENT and ATTENTIVE during my appointments; there were times that I went into my appointment feeling like there was no hope for relief but he had such an optimistic/realistic outlook on all the treatment recommendations. Whether or not someone experiences his surgical skills they can always depend on his sympathetic, reasonable, and knowledgeable opinion. Thank you Dr. Sekhon, Lisa, and the rest of the great staff at Sierra Neurosurgery.

After several months of pain

After several months of pain and loss of function in my right leg and several visits to a variety of medical responses I finally got my primary care doctor / insurance company to get an MRI. This drew an immediate response and a quick referral to Dr Sekhon the next day, it was a Thursday, he took one look at the MRI and looked me straight in the eye “this need to be fixed now” was his response. Ok, I was in pain and ready for anything. I had surgery the next Monday, that’s four days. Dr Sekhon was serious as I understand getting on a surgical calendar usually takes longer than that. Also my insurance company had taken Friday off and approval was not received until the morning of surgery and Dr Sekhon was ready to call it an emergency, fortunately that did not happen.
My recovery has been speedy and visits to his office pleasant and efficient and both Dr Sekhon and Lisa answered my questions to my satisfaction.

Craig McAllister

I’m 73 years old and

I’m 73 years old and in excellent health. I began having severe leg pains about 3 years ago and after several options with medical and orthopedic personnel I was recommended to Dr. Sekhon. I was diagnosed with lower lumbar Spinoza. With Dr. Sekhon’s help we exhausted all avenues PRIOR to surgery. Surgery was the last option and it will be nine weeks since surgery (laminectomy) on the 30th of July (today is the 28th). I have been in physical therapy for two weeks and am making GREAT strides towards complete recovery. There has been NO indication of the previous pain at all! I am very grateful to Dr. Sekhon and his wonderful staff for giving me, what I feel, a second chance to peruse my busy, active life!!!

The day my family doctor

The day my family doctor referred me to Dr. Sekhon was by and large one of the best days of my life. On first meeting him you are convinced that he is an expert in his field but it isn’t long after that you become aware of the truly human side of him.
I have quality reinstated in my life where prior I could only think of losing motor skills, pain and other issues related to my condition. Dr. Sekhon made me an expert on me and educated me on what options and controls I had in improving my situation.
I have referred Dr. Sekhon to no fewer than a dozen friends and co-workers who were desperate for the quality of medical care that I feel only a handful of surgeons are prepared and qualified to give in this country. I can’t speak for the globe but I can speak for my homeland.
Saying thank you to Dr. Sekhon and his staff doesn’t say enough. But until there a better works

Laura Love

I was very worried about

I was very worried about having the three disc in my neck taken care of. I had only heard horror stories in the past. I was referred to Dr. Sekhon’s office by my primary care physician. After checking around everyone I spoke to highly recommended Dr. Sekhon’s office. Starting with my very first appointment all of the staff and Dr. Sekhon himself have been nothing but wonderful. The are friendly and caring. The take the time to explain everything to you. From the recommendation of surgery exactly what would happen before during and after. I was at ease at my first meeting with Dr. Sekhon and his staff.

I was very anxious and

I was very anxious and not sure I wanted to undergo ACDF surgery. I postponed a few times but
finally had it performed on March 15, 2013. All my fear and anxiety were wasted energy. The first few weeks were difficult but each week since then has gotten progressively better. My experience has been much easier than anything I read online.
Dr. Sekhon along with his entire staff has been there to answer any question or help with any need. I highly recommend that if this a a surgery that you would unfortunately have to require in your life, be sure to contact:
??Nevada Neurosurgery and ask for Dr. Sekhon.

Janet S. Bray

It’s been one year since

It’s been one year since i had surgery on my neck….things are wonderful. I had 2 vertebrae replaced and 3 disk fused. It took awhile for my body to figure out what happened. The muscles in my shoulder area had been supporting my neck for so long they were not sure what their job was now. Everything now is wonderful, I can garden all day and not pay for it at night. Thanks so much Dr. Sehkon for your wonderful care….and Lisa for your wonderful energy….This is the place to be if you need help with spine problems. P.S. also had carpal tunnel operation on right hand in November….my hand is now perfect, can knit with the best of them!

Linda Fast

Dr Sehkon was very thorough

Dr Sehkon was very thorough with my examination.. He took his time and explained all details of my surgery to me and my husband. He went over the x-rays and showed the procedures that he would be doing in the surgery, answering all questions in clear fashion.. After the operation, he monitored my recovery checking on my progress during my hospital stay and during office visits. When Dr Sehkon was out of town on one occasion, his assistant, Lisa, was very efficient. They both took time to explain everything. The wonderful thing was that I had NO back pain after the surgery where before my pain was intolerable at times. I would recommend Dr Sehkon to anyone needing back surgery.

I will always be grateful

I will always be grateful to Dr. Sekhon for his excellent care. Rather than rushing to surgery, he took the time to make sure all of the pieces of my diagnosis fit. As it turned out, my problem could not be corrected with surgery. He was able to explain difficult neuroanatomic concepts clearly. Dr. Sekhon was thoughtful, respectful and kind and helped me to deal with and accept a very difficult diagnosis.
I highly recommend Dr Sekhon and feel blessed to have had him on my team.

It has been a little

It has been a little over a year (Sept. 2011) since I had my 3-level cervical fusion with Dr. Sekhon. I could not be happier with the results. Both he, Lisa, and the rest of the staff were professional and caring. Everything was described to me ahead of time so that when I did have the surgery, I was well aware of all that would occur. The aftercare was excellent. I would recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone who has a spinal stenosis. I was in pain for over 11 years with numbness in my arms; I now live a very full life thanks to Dr. Sekhon and hist staff.

I had disc replacement surgery

I had disc replacement surgery on 8-8-2012. C-4-C-7. To say the least I was terrified of becoming paralyzed from the neck down. Dr. Sekhon did a great job and I am healing well. Now I feel bad for being such a wussy. lol
Apparently this type of surgery is his forte. Thanks Doc.

Steven Tyler

I went to see Dr.

I went to see Dr. Sekhon for terrible pain I had from a pinched nerve. The MRI showed exactly what was happening and Dr. Sekhon explained what the procedure would be to release the nerve. I am now a month and one week out of surgery; I still have a little twinge of nerve pain and some healing and strengthening to do, but the horrible nerve pain is gone. I feel like I have my life back. Thank you Dr. Sekhon, Lisa Herz and all of the staff.

Joan Gill

I would recommend Dr. Lali

I would recommend Dr. Lali Sekhon for spinal surgery. His educational background, years of experience, ongoing research, and national recognition as a leading expert on cervical spine disorders was what inspired me to select him as my neurosurgeon. Dr. Sekhon did a good job explaining the surgical procedure, including the risks. I felt that I was in good hands and in mid-May I underwent the procedure. It was successful, the recuperation at home doable with some help, and pain manageable with Tylenol and other pain meds. I feel confident that I made the right choice and am looking forward to starting physical therapy next week. Thanks to Lisa also as she was very helpful and encouraging.

After days and days of

After days and days of excruciating pain it was such a blessing to be pain free.following the surgery. Although there were a few rough days, I am so glad I had the surgery. I look forward to working on the physical therapy, and getting my back better than it was before. One thing I particularly appreciated about Dr. Sekhon was his careful and detailed explanation of my health situation and what he proposed to do to correct it. I had every confidence he would do as promised… and he did.

Dr. Sekhon and staff were

Dr. Sekhon and staff were most courteous and managed to dispell many of the doubts I had about undertaking spinal surgery. I was advised by so many people not to undergo this type of surgery. However, because of serious pain in my legs, hips and back, I elected to go ahead. There was also the threat of impending cauda
equina which was a further consideration.

Dr. Sekhon is a superb surgeon and he certainly proved that when he operated on my spine. I was walking without a cane or walker within a month of being released. In fact, I didn’t need the walker at all.

I feel like a new person with very little residual pain (in my legs) and I am so glad I decided to go ahead with the surgery.

I recommend Dr. Sekhon for those who want the very best.

Thanks to Dr. Sekhon, I

Thanks to Dr. Sekhon, I feel awesome!
I was told on a plane flight back to Vegas by another patient – on my way back from Dr. Sekhon’s opinion – to go with anything he says and I will say the same thing to anyone else who is up in the air.
I didn’t even realize how much pain I was in. I have not felt as good as I do in 8 years…. Mentally and physically.
Thank you, Dr.Sekhon and his staff!!!!!

Both Dr. Sekhon and Lisa

Both Dr. Sekhon and Lisa Herz are very easy to talk to. They are both very good at explaining what is wrong, how they intend to fix it and any long term after-effects. Thanks to all the folks at Nevada Neurosurgery for a very helpful hand at a painful and scary time in my life.

As a Family Physician practicing

As a Family Physician practicing in Reno for 16 years it is comforting to know we have a trusted and competent Neurosurgeon in Dr. Sekhon. When I send patients to him I know they are getting the best care. We are so fortunate to have him here in Reno. Thank you, Lali!

When I was referred to

When I was referred to Dr. Lali Sekhon by my family physician, Patricia Levan, M.D., I went with jangled nerves. I learned as soon as I met Dr. Sekhon that I need not have worried. I found that Dr. Levan’s referral to Dr. Sekhon was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I loved Dr. Sekhon and every single person in his group. If I telephoned the office with a question, I always got a rapid response, and they greeted me with a smile when I arrived for an appointment.

Dr. Sekhon did a thorough examinatin of me and my spine the first time I saw him. Each time I saw him thereafter, he explained things to me verbally, showed me what was happening to my neck by using a model that disassembled, and sent me home with comprehensive written information regarding the surgery he would be performing if it became necessary. I received illustrations, info on each person in the office, including Lisa, his super assistant, and a paper covering 50 consecutive surgeries including demographics and outcomes — following these patients for ten years.

Any referrals Dr. Sekhon made were to doctors I liked very much. I trusted them; they were professional. Eventually, after as many conservative measures as he could try, I underwent a posterior cervical spine decompression and fusion surgery much more extensive than three previous anterior surgeries I had undergone over the last 30 years by three separate doctors.

Here is what occurred after my surgery:

I woke up expecting to be totally miserable, opening one eye and waiting for the pain to hit me. It did not. I had a better experience in the pain department with this surgery than ever — wonderful surprise. I was able to go off pain medication within a short time.

I left the hospital in two days — much faster than any of my other surgeries. I was able to resume my workouts in six weeks and am doing splendidly; my personal trainer agrees.

I do not suffer from the agonizing shooters and zingers that went through my body before the surgery. My husband noticed a couple of weeks after the surgery that I was no longer dropping things. Also, I noticed that a major problem with my balance has pretty much vanished.

Best of all, I have been able to resume the activities of my life that had to wait for awhile.

I would recommend Dr. Sekhon and his group wholeheartedly to anyone who needs a neurosurgeon.

I just wanted to let

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you and your skills. You have changed my life. Before my surgery, I felt like I was just a shadow of my former self. Now, I’ve got my life back! I think back on those times and they seem like a bad dream. I now look forward to living every day to its fullest.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I would like to express

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Sekhon and his staff for the finest surgical and post operative care anyone could hope to receive. The possibility of partial or full paralysis has been removed. Nerve pain and motor control have substantially improved. Returning to work full time in 6 weeks, one could not hope for more.

Its been a year since

Its been a year since you performed surgery on my husband. You may remember him as he arrived in your office in excruciating pain on an ambulance gurney from Quincy. He suffered kidney failure and spent a week in the telemetry ward before you could operate.
I am happy to say, he is doing well a year later with only a few residual problems. You made a huge difference in our lives, as my husband is able to carry the physical load of managing the household as my MS continues to progress leaving me less physically able. So far we are able to stay in our home.
Thank you again for your excellent and compassionate care. I know my husband’s positive outcome is due to your outstanding skills and healthy hands. We have referred you to friends here in Quincy who suffer from similar health issues.
Thank You again for giving my husband’s life back to him. Wishing you good health and happiness.
With gratitude

Dr. Sekhon, Thank you for

I would like to thank

I would like to thank Dr Sekhon and his entire staff for the GREAT job they did educating, advise, and treat me from the beginning to the end. I had 3 Cervical discs fused 7 weeks ago and feel almost as good as new. This is my second surgery done by Dr Sekhon and his staff. Two years ago Dr Sekhon and his PA Lisa preformed 3 Laminectomy on my lower back. Then, I walked into his office with a cane and after surgery I no longer need the cane. Before my neck surgery I couldn’t raise my left arm above my shoulder with out agonizing pain. I am now pretty much pain free and therapy will take care of that. Both times I traveled from Alaska to have Dr Sekhon’s team do the surgery as I was so comfortable with him & his staff. If I need further spine care I will not hesitate to see Dr Sekhon again. I highly recommend Dr Sekhon his staff and surgical team if you need spine surgery.

I’m so glad I chose

I’m so glad I chose Dr. Sekhon for a second opinion for my surgery. The fact that Dr. Sekhon practices the most updated surgical techniques saved myself a lot of unnecessary pain and down time. Dr. Sekhon was very good at communicating what was needed and what could be done for me. I feel great after have a C5-C7 ACDF, and a right hand carpal tunnel procedure. Lisa Herz and the staff at Nevada Neurosurgery were wonderful. My highest recommendations.

These doctors saved my life.

These doctors saved my life. If I could have had this procedure sooner….I was so afraid, needlessly of course. This was one of the best experiences, I’ve had with doctors in my life. Thank you all for all your help.

Dr. Sekhon and his staff

Dr. Sekhon and his staff are, in a word, balanced. I felt completely at ease when first meeting the doctor thanks to his soft-spoken manner. He answered my questions and addressed my concerns. Everyone in the office is highly knowledgeable and puts the care and comfort of the patients first. Without a doubt, Nevada Neurosurgery is the best in the state.

Dr. Sekhon and Lisa, Thank you for everything you did for me. I will never forget you. Sincerely, JG.

Mrs. JG

I wanted to thank you

I wanted to thank you Dr. Sekhon, Lisa P.A. and staff! I can not say enough good things about the treatment I had gotten from you.
I was having pain in my neck, back, hand and arm like I had never felt in my life. I went to my regular Dr. he had me do an MRI and as soon as he looked at the results, he referred me to Dr. Sekhon. I was very nervous about having to go see a Neurosurgeon but he told me to relax that this Dr. is one of the best in the world and couldn’t ask for a better one. Luckily he was here in Reno.
After going in for my visit the first time, I knew this was the Dr. that I would let operate on me if I was going to have it done. He spent the better part of an hour with me explaining what was happening in my neck and arm. Never once did he push the operation on me, he even suggested that I bring my wife in for a consultation so that she understood what was wrong with me and the plan for fixing it.
After that I was very nervous about having some one cut my neck open and put in 16 screws and 2 rods in my neck while removing part of the vertebra, but who better to do it then Dr. Sekhon.
After my operation I felt so much better the pain was gone instantly. After a short stay in the hospital I was sent home with instructions on what to do and the best way to heal. Each visit to Dr. Sekhon showed how much he and his staff cared about each patient.
After 2 months I was released to go back to work and 3 months I was released from any restrictions. I was so happy to go back to the gym and continue the rehab.
All I can say to Dr Sekhon and his staff is THANK YOU!!!!!!! You truly are the best.
Thank you.

My experience with Dr. Lali

My experience with Dr. Lali Sekhon and his associate Ms. Lisa Herz at Nevada Neurosurgery has been GREAT. My legs and back had hurt for 18 months. Several doctors had examined me and tried to relieve the pain but nothing had worked. My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Manzi in the Renown Health group. Dr. Manzi tested the nerves in both legs and determined that I should see a surgeon, and recommended Dr. Sekhon. After reviewing my records and X-rays he determined surgery was the next step. Surgery was scheduled for March 31, 2011. Surgery was a breeze for me and I discontinued all pain medicine within two weeks. Since that time I continue to be pain free. Dr. Sekhon and staff have improved my quality of life.

Mr. MR

I would like to than

I would like to than Dr. Sekhon and Lisa P.A. for the amazing treatment I received. They are so caring and talented. I felt from the beginning to discharge that I was in such good care. The whole staff at Nevada Neurosurgery is fantastic and so caring.

Ms. LS

I had back surgery on

I had back surgery on December 29, 2010. I won’t lie and say it was easy because it definitely was not. However, I am 100 per cent better. My posture has improved and I am pretty much pain free. Dr. Sekhon is a wonderful, compassionate and expert surgeon. He explained everything at great lengths, exhausted every other remedy and made my life so much better. Lisa also was so wonderful, she always related to what I was saying and was so helpful. I recommend Dr. Sekhon and his entire staff with my whole heart. They never failed to answer my questions and follow through with their commitments.

Dennis Elledge

My name is Russell and

My name is Russell and I was referred to Dr. Lali Sekhon, M.D. because of a severe narrowing of my spinal canal due to spurs in my neck. My left hand was curling and I was loosing it’s use. I was unable to lift my right foot and had been getting a sore similar to a boil every winter on the knuckle of little toe on my left foot for over 8 years.
When I first visited Nevada Neurosurgery, I already knew I had to have surgery because of the severity of the narrowing on my spine and had no idea if it would fix any of my problems. I did know that there was a very good chance of paralysis if I fell wrong and I did trip all the time.

Dr. Sekhon and his associate Lisa Hertz went over my reports and films with me, did their examination, explained and showed us what the procedures and risks there were, with and without the surgery and I felt comfortable in their skills and the confidence they projected. They did not let me down.

I had a Lami/Fusion from C-1 through T-1 (my spinal canal had narrowed down to 7mm) on November 10, 2010 at Renown Hospital in Reno, Nevada. As far as I amconcerned the surgery was more than successful. Dr. Sekhon and Lisa Herz preformed the surgery and I could not have had better.

There is no pain now and I only had to take pain medication for 13 days before I stopped and felt comfortable. I can now wear a shoe on my left foot again and can lift my right foot again to a certain degree. The Neurological staff at Renown Hospital are professionals and compassionate to their patients and I recommend all of them. My neck moves better than it did an I do not even notice having the surgery done.

Thank you again,

Russell Stoermer and family

I would like to express

On March 25th I did

On March 25th I did a compressed fracture of T9 from snowboarding off a 70ft jump during practice for a competition and was airlifted to the spinal trauma unit in Reno. Dr Lali Sekhon was the doctor who assessed me and did my surgery the day after arriving. I had just turned 18 and my parents were back in Australia, so it was very helpful when Dr Sekhon contacted my parents to fill them in on everything, and replied instantly to all their calls and texts.
Before surgery Dr Sekhon said he was confident my back would return to full strength. I ended up having 6 screws and 3 rods put in, I have done a lot of rehab and got the all clear after 6 months. All the specialists that I went to in Australia have been very impressed, so apart from breaking my back I was very lucky to be in that hospital with all the staff who helped me out and to have such a fantastic surgeon. He also helped us deal with the insurance company and their medical staff and made sure we had everything we needed to get home.
March 25th is almost here again a year later and on that day I will be on a plane to Italy to compete in the Jr World Championships for Slope style. So without the help of all the Staff and Dr Lali Sekhon at the spinal trauma unit I wouldn’t be back to where I am now and competing in what I love. It was a tough road getting back into snowboarding, and I have definitely tested out my new hard wear in my back with some massive crashes and even landing on my back off some jumps and it has been fine!
So thanks so much again to Dr Sekhon, Nevada Neurosurgery and everyone who helped me out at the hospital, couldn’t have done it without you! 🙂

Dear Dr. Sekhon & Staff:

Dear Dr. Sekhon & Staff: I just want to say thank you for all you guys have done for me. Most of all, thank you for giving me back my life. You are so wonderful and I can’t thank you enough. I have been recommending you guys to everyone I talk to, and I will never forget what you’ve given to me.

Dr. Sekhon and Staff: I just wanted to say thank you, to you and your staff for such a pleasant experience. My hand has healed nicely, I have a cool scar, and have since returned to work with not problems.

Dr. Sekhon and his staff

Dr. Sekhon and his staff gave me my life back. It’s been almost 4 weeks since my surgery, and I have no more nerve pain. When all the other Doctors treated me like a dollar sign, they made me feel like I mattered. They took good care of me during surgery and my recovery. They really do care and I have been recommending them to everyone I know. To anyone out there who feels like they can’t go on anymore, please go see Dr. Sekhon and his staff, they will put the light back into the end of the tunnel and give you hope again. Thank you everyone, I can’t thank you enough.

I found Dr.Sekhon, Lisa &

I found Dr.Sekhon, Lisa & staff to be very professional,courteous & knowledgeable. Dr. Sekhon provides you with all the information you would need in which to make your decision for your health care. Dr. Sekhon suggested conservative treatment for me first but this did not change my neck pain. Dr. Sekhon then went over all information regarding the next step which would be surgery I had a C3-C4, C4-C5, and C5-C6 anterior cervical decompression with fusion. The day after surgery I was without pain, had strength back in both my arms and legs and was released from the hospital on that day. Recovery at home has been quicker than anticipated and I have gone back to work after 4 weeks, (2 weeks of part-time and then full time) I will be starting physical therapy 2 to 3 times a week for 8 weeks. I would highly recommend Dr. Sekhon to anyone and everyone who would be looking for a skilled surgeon who listens to your every word and feels your quality of life is very important. Thank you Dr. Sekhon for my life back!

Dr. Sekhon,
My wife and I wanted to tell you how professional, caring, helpful, understanding and patience your office staff is. Your staff did what they said they would do and did it when they said they would. What a pleasant surprise, we have not had such an experience when dealing with a medical office before.

Special thank you to Amber and Carol for answering my questions when I called. Unfortunately for them I had a lot of questions. If they did not know the answer when I called they would find it and call me back in a timely manner.

Dr. Sekhon and Ms. Herz, thank you both for explaining my options in details and in a way I understood, because of this I feel confident that I made the right choice for my medical care.

Dr. Sekhon, I am now on the road to recovery thank you, I would recommend you office for medical care.

Mr. MC

I had already spoken to

I had already spoken to several surgeons before I saw Dr. Sekhon. I was looking for a surgeon with great references and copious experience with cervical artificial disc replacement. Dr. Sekhon met these requirements. He came highly recommended by staff at a facility where he trained and by a another respected academic spine surgeon.I had my initial consultation with him just 2 days after I called to make an appointment. At that visit, he explained to me the pros and cons of all my options, including fusion instead of artificial disc. He spent over 1 hour doing this in an unbiased and easy to follow presentation that confirmed everything I already knew. His engaging and personable bedside manner was terrific and I quickly felt comfortable with him. When I decided a day later on a Friday to go forward with artificial disc replacement, he had me in the operating room the following Tuesday. That’s not bad for an elective surgery.Dr. Sekhon is clearly comfortable with artificial disc replacement surgery. He showed attention to detail in getting my spine decompressed and making sure I had an ideal fit with the disc device. The operation occurred without incident.In the recovery phase, he and his office staff have been quick and courteous about responding to all of my needs. My emails never went unanswered and I usually had a reply within an hour or two. I hope they to continue to provide such excellent service to others in the future.

Doctor Sekhon saved my husband’s life. and he and his staff come with our highest recommendations. When we first went into his offices my husband and I were overwhelmed and more than a little scared. He provided us with the facts of what we were facing in a manner that was easy to understand. The surgery he performed was a huge success and the after care from Dr. Sekhon and his staff has been exemplary. We could not be more pleased.

Mr. GP

It has been seven weeks

It has been seven weeks since my surgery and I just want to thank you and all the staff for the great job you did. I have never asked for a second opinion for medical reason, but I’m so glad I did this time. The difference between the first doctor and Nevada Neurosurgery was amazing. Dr. Sekhon thank you for taking the time to go over the x-rays and MRI with me and explaining and showing what is exactly going on with my cervical discs and what options and results I would receive with surgery. I finally felt informed and comfortable making the decision to have surgery. It is so wonderful to be free of a lot of pain that I’ve had for so long and I know with time it will get even better because of your tremendous skill and care.

I would also like to say what an amazing office. They worked quickly with my insurance and got everything in order for surgery in a snap. Your PA-C Lisa and the rest of the staff are always so professional and courteous and sought for my best care. They always greet me with a smile sought to the best care. They also always return all phone calls promptly. Again thank you.

I’m still healing from my surgery. About 9 months post op. My pain levels went from completely unbearable to easily manageable without medication within a few weeks. Arm, shoulder, and back pain were all gone almost immediately. My neck still bothers me and probably will forever. Not only was the surgeon amazing but his staff is amazing as well. It’s been 9 months and I still owe money but they are always kind and understanding with me. I will get them paid off soon. If I ever need a neurosurgeon again. This is the only place I’ll go.

What a great Doctor!

What a great Doctor! I appreciate that Dr. Sekhon has a very conservative approach about suggesting what the right path of therapy should be for me, he makes sure that on rocks are overturned before moving forward. I knew that I was placing my health in the right hands to trust with my Spine/neck fusion of disc surgery. In January of 2020, I went ahead with the surgery, and I was in the hospital for one day, and I have no pain in my neck or spinal region since. For the following two weeks that I was off work, but I was able to sleep for 10-12 hours a night and get out and walk trails again for the first time in over a year. Life is getting back to normal again and with no pain! I am truly grateful that Dr. Sekhon has developed and surrounded himself with a great team, from his PA Gregory Graves, his whole office staff and the surgical staff that monitored all my vitals and nerve tests during my surgery. I want to thank you each member of his staff for helping me in my quick recovery! Many thanks…. Mary Reno NV

Testimonial

“Another year come and gone!

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for you, Dr. Sekhon, and the whole team in Reno who took care of me.

Since I last saw you in Reno, I have moved to Hawaii with my girlfriend. I am actively surfing, biking, diving, hiking, and doing all of the things I love on a daily basis due to you and your team.

Today is always a humbling day for me to reflect on how lucky I am.

Again, thank you SO much for being complete badasses and taking care of me. You truly gave me a second chance at life and I don’t plan on wasting it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

If you or any of your team are ever in Hawaii give me a shout! I’d be more than happy to play tour guide or give a few good recommendations.”
