Open-minded and non-judgmental, Dr. Sahni and his staff welcome all patients with warmth.
Brief Biosketch
Dr. Sahni was raised in New York and received his undergraduate degree in English literature from Columbia University and his Medical Degree from Columbia’s College of Physicians & Surgeons in Manhattan, NYC. He relocated to Texas to undergo neurosurgical training at the Baylor College of Medicine/MD Anderson in Houston. He then completed a fellowship in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery at the Texas Medical Center Spine Fellowship program where he trained at Houston Methodist Hospital, MD Anderson, and Texas Children’s Hospital. He is certified by the American Board of Clinical Neurosurgery.
Dr. Sahni has extensive experience and training in neurotrauma: both brain and spine. He is highly regarded as one of the most experienced and capable neurotrauma surgeons in central Texas. He had the privilege and honor of serving as the neurotrauma coordinator for the busiest ER in Central Texas: St. David’s South Austin Hospital, a level 2 trauma center, for 4 years and was trusted as the primary on-call neurosurgeon for their trauma center for more than 5 years. During this extremely demanding period of service to the people of Austin - where he was required to respond to emergencies in 30 minutes 24 hours a day, sometimes weeks at a time - Dr. Sahni saved the lives of and prevented paralysis in dozens of patients while relieving pain and disability in hundreds more.
Dr. Sahni believes in treating patients as he would himself and thinks compassion is a good guiding principle in one’s moral compass. He advocates for nontraditional, nonsurgical therapies for spinal health, including chiropractic care, yoga, meditation, Tai-chi, acupuncture, and strength training.
Dr. Sahni is married with three children and a 4 lb chihuahua. He is a beginner pianist who practices daily meditation, intermittent fasting, high-intensity interval training, and light resistance training.
“I was refereed to Dr. Sahni office in the beginning of January, I would get phone calls from two of Dr. Sahni staff setting up appointments with different times and address. I was so confused and address this to both of them and confirmed me their address is correct. The day before i would get a call from Fabiola, one of the staff members setting up my appointments calling to inform me Dr. Sahni cannot see me and will need to be rescheduled. Not just once many times i’ve gotten this call and grown tired. After 2 months time I finally visiting the office, and was taken back to the exam room. I was told by the Medical Assistant they’ve just moved into a new building and have no equipment, not even equipment to read my weight, record my temperature and my blood pressure. The MD did perform a few test on me for nerve pain and other concerns. After finally meeting with Dr. Sahni i was greeted, asked general and medical questions, I understand moving into a new facility they are short staffed with equipment but i could’ve been re scheduled with an examination table and equipment! He explained to me a surgical procedure that is short time and can return to work next day. He showed me a video on his phone showing the procedure while he went to grab a flyer. I was uncertain and needed more information. We agreed for a follow us. It’s been two weeks and have not heard from his office for a follow up, Dr’s interaction could of been handled better.
Overall experience was disappointing and poorly handled
In the beginning of January, I was referred to the office of Dr. Sahni. Initially, I received phone calls from two of Dr. Sahni’s staff members, who were attempting to schedule appointments with different times and addresses. I was initially confused and addressed this issue with both of them while both confirming that their addresses were correct.
The day before my scheduled appointment, I received a call from Fabiola, another staff member, informing me that Dr. Sahni was unable to see me and would need to reschedule. This was not an isolated incident, as I have received multiple calls of this nature, which has become increasingly frustrating.
After two months of waiting, I finally visited the office and was taken back to the examination room. I was informed by the Medical Assistant that the office had recently moved into a new building and lacked the necessary equipment, including equipment to weigh me, record my temperature and blood pressure.
Despite this inconvenience, the Medical Assistant performed a few tests for nerve pain and other concerns.
After meeting with Dr. Sahni, I was greeted and asked general and medical questions. While I understand that the office may be short-staffed and experiencing equipment shortages, I could have been rescheduled with an examination table and the necessary equipment.
Dr. Sahni explained a surgical procedure that is relatively short-duration and allows patients to return to work the following day. He demonstrated the procedure on his phone while retrieving a flyer. However, I was left feeling uncertain and requested additional information.
We agreed to follow up.
Two weeks later, I have not received any follow-up from Dr. Sahni’s office. The interaction between the doctor and the patient could have been handled more effectively.
Overall, my experience was disappointing and poorly managed.”
