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.
Dr. Gurpal Pannu earned his medical degree at Northeast Ohio Medical University and completed a five-year residency in orthopaedic surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine. After residency, he pursued subspecialty training in spinal surgery at the University of California, Davis in Sacramento, California.
During his fellowship at UC Davis, Dr. Pannu underwent training in the evaluation and treatment of pediatric and adult spinal disorders, including scoliosis, spinal trauma, and degenerative conditions of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Dr. Pannu has maintained an interest in clinical research and has published numerous studies in orthopaedic and spinal medical journals.

Felt like it was a rushed appt but he was very kind and knowledgeable.
I absolutely love Dr. Pannu. He is so kind, thorough, and ensures that the patient is getting what they need. He clearly sees the patient as a partner in the care plan. I highly recommend him!
I am very thankful and grateful for this man. He has taken great care of me since I got hit by a car. He sits down and he’s explains everything to me. Thank you for all you do.
The doctor was very informative and wanted to try everything before I would need surgery.
Very personable. Explained my situation with great detail.
Dr. Pannu explained my X-Rays, which were processed quickly and answered questions regarding my follow-up very professionally.
Dr Pannu takes the time to answer your questions so that you have a decent understanding of how the complex issues in your spine can be corrected. He does not talk down to you as other surgeons do!
Very thorough… Explains in layman’s terms
Doctor Gurpal Pannu is an excellent and caring Doctor. He takes the time to listen to any questions or concerns you may have, and he is very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining what your options are. I would highly recommend Doctor Pannu.
Dr. Pannu was separately great with explaining everything and letting my son who is the radiologist listen in he is a wonderful doctor and I would go and see him anytime I needed to and recommend him to others
