This has been totally life changing for me. I spent 8 days in the ED, then 9 days having a 2-stage surgery with one day in between. This entire team has been amazing for me and to me. I feel like I made a ton of new friends…

Had surgery on C7–T1 anterior in January 2025 with Dr. Agarwal, and the outcome was GREAT. Pain was all gone and the scarring as well. Then I had to return to him for an L4–5 lateral interbody fusion with percutaneous screws…

If you are stuck in a neurologic nightmare, I highly recommend Dr. Agarwal. I am 2 months post-op after T7-to-pelvis repair. I am leak free after 3 prior surgeons failed to first off believe I was leaking — he diagnosed it and corrected 18 months of misery.

I saw Dr. Agarwal for a C4–T2 fusion and a C6–C7 fracture of my neck. Dr. Agarwal and his team provided me with amazing care during the entire process of my surgery and recovery. I credit Dr. Agarwal with assisting to save my life and providing me with an opportunity to return to doing the things I enjoy.

Dr. Agarwal and his team are amazing! I have had 7 surgeries prior for my back issues. However, from the start, I knew I was where I needed to be. This experience has been so extremely positive and nothing short of a miracle. Dr. Agarwal is definitely “life changing medicine”! Thank you for giving my life back!

Dr. Agarwal is an atypical surgeon. His bedside manner is fantastic. Dr. Agarwal always offered to answer any of my questions. He gave me the best gift after surgery that made me feel calm and hopeful. He told me to “Go live my life.”

Dr. Agarwal is an amazing surgeon and an amazing person. Very intuitive and helpful unlike usual surgeons. I highly recommend for any neurosurgical situations.

The results of the work were in my opinion excellent. I would be happy to recommend Dr. Agarwal to anyone!

My experience was very positive. I could not ask for a better doctor and staff in my time of need. The staff made my family feel at ease during the whole procedure. Dr. Agarwal and his staff took the time to talk to myself and my family personally after the surgery and through the whole process.

I’m a 58-year-old man. In October of 2023 I came into Dr. Agarwal’s office barely able to walk and a pain level of 10. I cried literally every day getting out of bed for work. That was the only activity I could do, which I had to force myself…

I went to Dr. Nitin Agarwal for lower back pain. After my CT scan and MRI, he found my spinal cord was compressed very badly. I have 16 screws in my neck. Dr. Agarwal has given me my life back!…

I had my S1 and L5 fused in 2018 by another doctor, and everything was fine for about 4 years. Then I started having terrible pain in both of my SI joints. I met with Dr. Agarwal one time, he told me what had to be done, and 3 weeks later I…

My surgery by Dr. Agarwal was extremely successful. He identified my problem needing a microdiscectomy, and his skills in the operating room dealing with my compressed nerve provided a resolution quickly and effectively.

Bravo! The team of Dr. Agarwal is the best well-oiled machine for neurosurgery! I am so very impressed — not only for those fabulous skilled hands, but he and his team have the greatest bedside manner. If you do whatever he tells you to do…

The surgery has been a success, and Dr. Nitin Agarwal was awesome, along with the assistants, nurses, and all staff. We are so grateful for them all and the expertise and for everyone that was so kind…

Dr. Agarwal operated on my 89-year-old mother one week ago. She came through surgery extremely well and is improving every day. He is very kind and caring, even saying a prayer of thanks after the surgery.

Would highly recommend Dr. Agarwal and his staff. My spinal cord was very compressed and I was having a lot of pain and loss of some function in my arm. He did surgery and was able to resolve all of the issues! Two thumbs up.

Dr. Agarwal is a gem! My brother had severe spinal stenosis of the cervical spine to the point that he was having difficulty holding a spoon. The first surgeon that saw him was all doom and gloom about his prognosis. Dr. Agarwal was very…

I met Dr. Agarwal today and was impressed. He told me he will be by my side through this process and I trust him! I felt totally comfortable in office today and am excited to see what he can do to help me. He is a wonderful person.

Dr. Agarwal was beyond amazing! He performed arthroplasty on my C5 and C6 and it was flawless. Six months out and I have never felt better. Highly recommend!

Very understanding, compassionate, and caring. Immediately felt confident with Dr. Agarwal and his staff, and knew we found a great team for my health concerns.

He’s a wonderful person … has been a godsend for my husband. He’s great!!

He will tell you like it is. He has a great bedside manner and his team is top notch.

Wonderful surgeon who took the time upfront to explain surgical and non-surgical options. He made pre-surgery and follow-up calls personally, and I felt like I had the best care while in the hospital post-surgery.

I had disc herniation(s) in my back. I tried many other doctors, therapy, medication, and a chiropractor. Nothing worked, except for him. Within two or three appointments, my back pain went away. The two-hour commute was definitely worth it, and I recommend it to anyone who has the same issue.

He has transformed my life regarding my sciatic pain from excruciating to pain free with minimally invasive surgery. I highly recommend him! What an asset to UPMC neurosurgery.

I have had Dr. Agarwal since December 2023 and have had the best care with such amazing results from him and his staff! Would highly recommend!!

Very informative and attentive to my needs and questions. Excellent doctor.

Wonderful doctor — had best experience. Would recommend 100%.

Dr. Nitin Agarwal and his team of docs and nurses are a caring and understanding team. I would recommend calling Dr. Agarwal to my friends. Thanks again!

Coming to St. Louis not expecting anyone to help me, and at the first appointment Dr. Agarwal not only told me he could do my surgery, but that he was going to help with the process. While in the hospital I had another problem and he went…

My experience as a patient of Dr. Agarwal has been excellent along with all of the staff.

Simply the best surgeon ever! I fell and broke my neck. Dr. Agarwal is an amazing surgeon — knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. Highly recommend.

Excellent surgical and follow-up care with Dr. Agarwal and all support staff. Highly recommend!

I am very pleased with the care I’ve received so far. Dr. Agarwal is excellent at explaining things and the process.

I had a good experience with my surgery!

Great doctor! Saved my husband with back and neck surgery!

Very good experience. Very professional and caring.

Dr. Agarwal is fantastic, gives great advice, and helps my family make educated decisions!

Great doctor. Very helpful and caring.

Wonderful and very professional.

This doctor has saved my life. My first surgeries on my spine, back, and neck were before I was in my recovery. Now clean, I contracted an abscess on my spine. It was very scary and traumatic, but Dr. Agarwal made me feel so comforted…
