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.

Dr. Pannu is one of the most kindest and genuinely caring Spinal Orthopedic Physicians I have ever met. He took much time and patiently showed me the images from my MRI and X-rays and explained the defects and why I am in so much pain. He then suggested for me his treatment plan for me and why . He helped turn my fears into a simplified “first things first” understanding. I didn’t feel rushed for the many questions I had and patiently listened to my explanations of the progression of my illness. A very kind, caring and professional physician. 😊👍
Very pleasant and explained things very well. I liked him
I was satisfied wth the and the way he explained things to me
Dr. Pannu was kind and understanding. When he first walked into the room he greeted me with a handshake, which never happens,. He listened to each of my questions and answered them. He also reassured me that my current treatment seems to be working fine, but if anything changes come back to see him. He seems to be a great doctor. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
He was very respectful, I came in with pain after getting the medication, my pain was manageable. Thank you doctor.
Very thorough and detailed oriented.
Explained everything. Very compassionate. Will be keeping him on as my specialist with my back.
Very informal
Dr. Pannu is top notch!
I appreciate how he took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, and what was needed to remedy it. So I thank him for that.
