5 /5 Rita Sabatino: Dr. Aujla is a highly experienced and insightful doctor. I first went to him a few years ago for tendinitis in my wrist and I received excellent care. More recently, I went to him about a month ago because of severe sciatic pain. At the time, I wasn’t ready to accept his advice, which was to take the conservative approach and avoid surgery for the time being. Over the last month, my MRI was evaluated by three neurosurgeons, who were all too happy to schedule me for surgery. I went back to Dr. Aujla a second time after seeing the neurosurgeons and he kindly and patiently explained to me, in a truly caring way, that he still believes surgery is not right for me now. Over the last week, my pain has diminished significantly. A neurosurgeon at UF Shands recently confirmed that my body is healing and I should take the conservative approach: exactly what Dr. Aujla said from the very beginning.
