Vikas V. Varma, MD, is a fellowship-trained and board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Manhattan Orthopedics, with locations in Midtown Manhattan, and Astoria, in New York. He embraces a patient-centered approach to shared decision making, with an emphasis on understanding patients as people, and getting them back to their active lifestyles as soon as possible.
In this regard, Dr. Varma combines his unique skills and training to use minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible. A meticulous surgeon, Dr. Varma comes from a family of physicians and prides himself on his ethical, personalized, detail-oriented approach to patient care.
As a published author, researcher, and surgeon educator, Dr. Varma has been invited to speak at domestic and international spine meetings to share his knowledge and expertise. He is an experienced surgeon, widely respected in Manhattan, known for his advanced technical surgical skills, and conservative multimodal approach to spine care. Dr. Varma specializes in the treatment of common adult degenerative conditions such as stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and herniated discs, as well as complex conditions such as spinal deformity surgery and revision surgery.
Dr. Vikas Varma holds an appointment at the Icahn School of Medicine, where he is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Spine Surgery in the Department of Orthopedics. He is also an attending spine surgeon at Mount Sinai Medical Center of Manhattan. He received his undergraduate bachelor’s degrees from Cornell University, where he was a 4-year Division I athlete. He also completed accelerated coursework at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago. He then received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Maryland prior to matriculating to the University of Connecticut, where he completed a surgical internship followed by a residency in Orthopedic Surgery, serving as Chief Resident.
He was then selected as a fellow in the San Diego Spine Fellowship, under the direct tutelage of Dr. Behrooz Akbarnia, a world-renowned spine surgeon, and former president of the prestigious Scoliosis Research Society, the leading international society for the study of complex spine conditions. During his fellowship year, Dr. Varma treated many domestic and international patients with complex and rare spinal conditions in both the adult and pediatric populations, including major spinal reconstruction for spinal deformity, and revision surgery. He also was fortunate to receive training in advanced minimally invasive surgery and motion preservation surgery as a part of the comprehensive fellowship program.
Dr. Varma is an active member of the Scoliosis Research Society and dedicated faculty member within the Mount Sinai Department of Orthopedics where he is routinely involved in teaching medical students, orthopedic surgery residents, as well as fellows as part of the Sinai Spine Fellowship program.

His interests include complex spine surgery, revision spine surgery, and spinal deformity surgery, as well as the use of minimally invasive techniques in complex spine conditions to better facilitate patient recovery and improved patient outcomes.
“I was unhappy with my experience with Dr. Varna. The office itself was fine, Toni (receptionist) and Crystal (nurse) were very nice and helpful; Dr. Varna on the other hand was interruptive and did not make proper time for me to explain my issues. He made assumptions about my health based on my age and gender during our conversation, and I did not feel that I was able to properly explain myself to give him an accurate picture of the situation at hand. The conversation was continuously interrupted by Dr. Varna's questions, while i was mid-sentence, and I would get cut off before I finished my full thoughts. In the end, I was referred to see another kind of specialist, a month of yoga classes, and to come back in six weeks if my situation hasn't improved which, for $350, is an absolute disgrace. This conclusion would’ve sufficed if I felt he had a comprehensive idea of the issue, but I did not. I felt like this appointment was rushed and inconclusive, which I would never expect at such a high self-pay price. Being a young woman and having to work hard to advocate for yourself to doctors is already difficult as is, and Dr. Varna was unsuccessful in making me feel like my issues were heard and properly addressed. The ridiculous medical bill just adds insult to injury. I will not be returning to this center and I would not recommend it to my friends or relatives. ”
