I felt that Dr Patibanda was thorough. Explaining everything so that I understood what was going on. He came up with a plan that I am able to work with. He showed me the exact problem that got me to see him. He was timely

I don’t feel that he listened to me or provided personal answers, instead, just had his assistant hand me some information on paper to take home to read.

I appreciated viewing the MRI pictures and having them explained, in detail, by the Doctor. He also asked many questions and carefully listed to my answers. He came to the appointment with possible treatment information from the trusted Cleveland Clinic. Rather than jumping in, he suggested I review the information carefully and get one more, common sense, test.
Dr. Patibanda was clear and it was easy to follow his explanations.

After earning his medical degree from the American University of Antigua, College of Medicine, Dr. Varun Patibanda, M.D. completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the prestigious Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation – the nation’s largest rehabilitation hospital and a model system for spinal cord injury.
Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Patibanda went on to complete his fellowship in sports medicine and interventional pain management at Pennsylvania’s OSS Hospital under the guidance of Michael Furman, MD. Dr. Furman is also the main editor of the “Atlas of Image-Guided Interventional Procedures.” At OSS, Dr. Patibanda deepened his knowledge and skills in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound and electro diagnostics, as well as a myriad of advanced fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided injection procedures for the treatment of nerves, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. He spent his first two years out of training, working at a leading orthopedics and pain management practice in the greater Baltimore metro area.
Dr. Patibanda achieved board certification by the American Board of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation, and he is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine. His approach to each patient’s pain is holistic, with the focus on reducing pain and improving function – all while applying evidence-based practices.
Dr. and Ms. Patibanda live in Monterey. In his spare time, he enjoys listening to music, playing tennis, and traveling.
