Dr. Gurpal Pannu is a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon with extensive training in the evaluation and treatment of pediatric and adult spinal conditions. Back pain, and other spinal disorders, can have a tremendous impact on an individual’s quality of life. I strongly believe in the importance of educating my patients about their condition, prognosis, and treatment options. This allows my patients to make well-informed decisions.
The vast majority of spinal conditions can be treated without surgery. However, when those treatment options have failed, surgical management can play an important role. I am very passionate about what I do and I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help my patients return to an active and healthy lifestyle.

My surgery was a complete success with Dr Pannu. He spent time explaining the procedure beforehand and also in recovery. For My 2 week Dr visit after surgery he was very thorough and took x-rays to make sure everything was as should be. I would see Dr Pannu again if surgery was needed and would highly recommend him. Dr Pannu also has a beautiful smile and calming personality that puts you at ease. Maureen Mayer
