“Spine surgery is the most fascinating field to be in,” says Dr. Anand. “It is satisfying to see a patient whose quality of life has been affected, regain that quality. That is the most gratifying thing about being a spine surgeon. Spine surgeons should remember to treat the patient and not the X-rays. Listen to the patient and always do the right thing for the patient. Don’t compromise.”

He has completed residencies at the University of Bombay as well as the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London, Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
