I had a spinal surgery with Dr Agawala and this was the worst experience of my life! He did the work we discussed, but also took out all of my previous hardware and replaced it with his own. When I later saw the Xrays and asked him, he said it was because he wanted to have it all his own work. The hospital he worked is was atrocious. There was no follow up as I was out of state so I was left high and dry. Their billing agency S & S Billing was dishonest and never even recorded the payments I made. I had thoroughly checked to make certain everyone involved was a preferred provider, but afterwards -come to find out a neuromonitoring service used while I was in surgery was not. When I objected, they sent the bill to collections. I have had quite a few surgeries- this was the absolute worst! The doctor was so happy he could go around speaking and showing my X-rays.. he certainly did not give a rip about my care. My tip would be- find another surgeon!!
