Dr. Ben Bhupendra Pradhan, MD

Orthopedic SurgeryOrthopedic Spine Surgery

OVERVIEW

My clinical interests and expertise lie in all aspects of spine-care, including degenerative disorders, deformity, trauma, tumors, and infection of the neck, thorax, and lower back. I work with a highly specialized group of spine surgeons and nonoperative spine specialists in The RISSER Orthopaedic Group in Pasadena / Arcadia, CA. The RISSER Group (www.LASpineSurgeon.com) is one of the most established orthopaedic group in Southern California (est since 1937), especially in the field of scoliosis and spine surgey. Our treatment options range from nonoperative pain management or minimally invasive surgery to major scoliosis and other deformity surgeries. I have played a role in at least 15 pioneering United States clinical trials in the past two years involving the latest in spine care technology, including bone forming proteins and disc replacement technologies. My research endeavors have been honored with major academic research awards (ISSLS, NASS, SRS, CSRS, SAS, AAOS, IMAST, ORS, SOA, and WOA awards), peer-reviewed presentations, and publications. With a background in aerospace engineering and applied mathematics, my research interests naturally lie in the biomechanical analysis of artificial disc replacements and various motion-preserving spinal surgical prostheses and constructs. I am also involved in basic science research, concentrating on bone substitutes and spinal cord injury.

"This doctor has zero bed side manners, he is rude. This horrible doctor doesn’t care about his patients. He is in it for the money. His surgeries do not work, he even guarantees on more pain. Well folks it is all bull sh$t. Beware of this terrible human as a doctor."

"Great manners, if that is what you are rating. His back fusion technic was discouraged by other othopaedic surgeons. He was determined to do it. It failed from the beginning. During my last visit to his office, grown men crying in pain. Dr. Ashcroft and others all told him it would not work. USC head ortho said, yes, it would not work. Dr. Pradham is good in his mind, and not in many a patients minds or experiences. Go to him at your own risk. "
