I was in direr pain (not kidding) when we called PPS offices. The reason I was in so much pain, my existing specialist failed in their approach. My wife called PPS and we were in their offices within the hour with no appointment. At this point I was barely able to walk 25 feet before going down in the praying position, leaning over any chair I could find. The staff and Dr. at PPS could not have been more comforting and helpful. They took me in immediately to a private room so I could "Pray" in private lol. I laugh now, but at that time I was in more pain that I have ever been in. Dr. D assessed the issue immediately (Possible Herniated Discs) and was aggressive with treatment options, which included getting an MRI, use of pain management with proper meds. Once back in the office the Dr. showed the films of my back to my wife and I and took the time to explain what it was we were seeing (which was 3 disc bulges). He immediately prepped me for an in-office procedure, injecting the proper area with medicine that helped with the pain, so much so, I could walk further and slowly do more activities. 4 weeks later was another procedure which slowly got me back to almost normal. At my follow-up today he set me on a course of PT (Physical Therapy). He also said if after PT there was still issues that we had further options to reduce/possibly eliminate future pain. The bottom line, it is up to me to get back in shape, strengthen my core so that I may function like I did before this happened. Furthermore, I have a physically demanding occupation and I did not use best practices when physically exerting myself. Through all of this the staff could not have been any nicer and understanding. They are very welcoming and the vibe they give off is wanting nothing more than to heal. They are not in the business of maintaining, they are in the business of healing; if it can't be healed (in my case, I will always have the disc bulges thanks to my own stupidity) then they want to alleviate your pain in a healthy way. I highly recommend PPS! They are a wonderful group of professionals!

Bottom line - to avoid treacherous back surgery, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Yanamadula to develop a procedure plan to eliminate/manage your pain as he has done for me. I am sincerely thankful to him for all of his continued help & support.

I have known Dr. Yanamadula for 3 years now. I came to know him through a friend who was a patient in his practice. I was in so much pain. Shoulder and arm pain. He knew exactly what was causing my pain. He was so knowledgeable and so concerned. Dr. Yanamadula gave me the right treatment and here I am still pain free! I am so thankful for the staff. They are so patient and kind. The office is so inviting! My experience was that the staff made sure I was well taken care of. They respect my time and my condition. Don’t suffer from pain anymore! Come see Dr. Yanamadula and his staff!

Dr. Yanamadula, or Dr. Y, is the best doctor to treat me since my car accident in 2011. He has the unique combination of deep clinical knowledge, great communication skills and sincere compassion for his patients. Take it from me, in the last 7 years, I have been to dozens of specialists for the wide array of injuries and found that...”the smarter and better the doctor; the less likely they are to spend quality time with their patients - not to mention their short and abrupt nature...most don’t even look you in the eye or pick their head up.” Dr. Yanamadula is brilliant AND communicates in a way that is simple to understand for someone like me who doesn’t have a degree in clinical medicine. Further, I’ve been blown away with the politeness of the staff and the thorough and caring attention the entire office staff, including the doctor, have shown. This place is everything I prayed for! Dr. Y saved my job, saved my health, saved my sanity! I love this office! He smiles, cares, partners with you and takes your opinion into consideration so that you feel like you have a voice, and is flexible when needed. He doesn’t force you to do what is uncomfortable. I’ve been getting treatment on my lower back and he has allowed me to work around parameters that suit me. This doctor and his staff have positively impacted my life to which words can’t describe. This long testimonial can’t touch the love I have for these people. Sincerely, NF

Dr. Yanamadula and his staff provide excellent pain management services. I was suffering with shingles pain for quite a while and did not know where to turn. I visited the Princeton Pain and Spine Center website and read that the doctor specialized in shingles pain management. On a Sunday evening, I went on the center's website and self-scheduled an appointment for the following day. After what seemed like only a few minutes after making my appointment, a staff member contacted me (recall, this was on a weekend). The doctor saw me the next day and prescribed medication to ease my pain. Within 2 days, my pain was reduced by about 80%, and is getting better with each passing day. I am very grateful for Dr. Yanamadula's invaluable medical expertise, and for the welcoming office environment provided by his friendly, knowledgeable staff.

This is by far the most amazing procedure that I've ever down. Dr. Yanamadula is pleasant and precise. He was done each time in less than 10 mins. I am now about 90% better. I would recommend him to everyone. His team is also courteous and personable.

To start; you are probably here reading this review because you know something about pain and the inability to function. When you have! You've come to the right doctor! He and his staff are phenomenal, always smiling and positively acknowledging the fact that you always come to them with some sort of pain. When I first showed up to his office, I was a complete and utter mess. It took some time for us to figure out what worked for me. He never once doubted my over the top descriptions of what I was feeling like (some doctors actually said to me, you dont look like your in that much pain)

Dr. Yanamadula’s staff (Jessica, Karina, Bianca, and Merina and also Manny and Joe), area wonderful, kind, understanding to my needs, which is a true blessing to me. It is not everyday you get an entire staff like that, and I truly have bonded which each and everyone of them, and they will always hold a special place in my heart. Now about my Dr. Yanamadula. I can truly say I am a piece of work when it comes to pain and my medical issues I have going on. He is so very kind and patient with what is going on. He is not the type of doctor who comes into the exam room for 5 or 6 minutes and then leaves. He stays and asks about me from head to toe, and trust me when I tell you and he will tell you I have a lot to talk about and he does not mind sitting and listening to me about everything. That is what makes him a special person. He makes sure I understand everything before I leave his office and again, not many people do that and that is why I am very happy and pleased to have him and his lovely staff taking care of me. I love you all and you . Yes, they are my family. This is where you need to go!

I'VE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR. Y SINCE 2013. I HAVE ONGOING ISSUES AND CONTINUE TO SEE HIM ON A REGULAR BASIS. DR. Y IS COMPASSIONATE AND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DEBILITATING CHRONIC PAIN CAN BE. HE LISTENS INTENTLY AND IS GENUINELY INTERESTED. ALWAYS TAKES TIME TO EXPLAIN AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. ONE NEVER FEELS RUSHED. THE STAFF ARE PLEASANT, WELCOMING, HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL WHICH IS A TESTAMENT TO DR. Y. AS A NURSE I FEEL I CAN HONESTLY EVALUATE THE EXPERIENCE AND TESTIFY THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE MAKING A MISTAKE BY SELECTING DR. Y FOR TREATMENT. I HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO HIS PRACTICE.

I became a patient of Dr. Yanamadula's in September 2017 after suffering from chronic low back pain for 15 years. I started to feel like low back pain was something that I would have to deal with for the rest of my life until I saw all of the positive reviews online for Dr. Yanamadula and this different approach that he has to helping his patients. From the moment I first called to inquire if they were accepting new patients, I knew that the reviews were right and that my experience with him and his team would be different. Marina, who did my intake questionnaire over the phone, was so kind and sympathetic when I explained my experience with low back pain/other doctors and confidently explained how Dr. Yanamadula's approach is different. When I went for my first appointment and met Dr. Yanamadula, I knew that she was correct and that he was different than the doctors I had seen in the past. He took the time to review the various MRIs and other spinal scans that I'd had done and so he had an informed plan when we met. He listened to any concerns that I had and, most importantly, he thoroughly explained everything instead of assuming that you are an expert which had been my experience at some other doctors. His entire staff is so kind, knowledgeable, and professional - they called after each procedure to see how I was doing and to remind me to call the office if I needed anything. It has been 4 months since I started seeing Dr. Yanamadula and my back pain is at least 50% if not 70% better. I chose to leave a review because of all of the positive reviews that I read which helped lead me to Dr. Yanamadula. I hope that this review can resonate with someone who feels that their situation with back pain is hopeless because I was in that same situation and can attest to the fact that Dr. Yanamadula's approach is different and it works.

I have been coming to Dr. Yanamadula for over two years now and he is the only sports medicine/pain specialist I will ever see. Dr. Y listens, really listens. He sits with you to listen to all of your concerns and come up with an effective, safe, efficient treatment plan that you are comfortable with. If you have an issue out-of-office, he will address that, too. He goes above and beyond to help his patient-be it getting an MRI approved by an insurance company, following up on your progress, or patiently responding to any issue or question you may have. I present a very difficult combination of diagnoses-from MS to RA and more. Dr. Y took on my case and improved my quality of life. He is an excellent physician and just a good man. Additionally, Merina and everyone who works at PP&S are absolutely the most patient-oriented professionals I've ever encountered. Everything about this practice is excellent. Thank you Dr. Yanamadula, Merina and everyone at Princeton Pain & Spine!

Excellent Doctor that wants to help you & cares! Living with chronic back pain flat out stinks and effects your entire life and others you live with. People who do not have chronic back pain do not understand what its like to endure this on a daily basis. I feel he knows when people are genuinely miserable and works hard to treat your ailment(s) and keep you comfortable. My back drives me crazy (I think why me?) and Im fairly young (early 40's) but at least I can continue to do the activities I enjoy because of him. This is a Dr. that wants to treat and fix your issues not push pain medicine. I think pain is tricky to treat and very individualized. Some days can be much tougher to deal with than others. He will work with you and try different procedures (as needed) to try and eliminate or reduce your pain. He listens, he cares, has helped me and many others. I highly recommend making and appointment and see what he can do for you! Every staff member is very friendly, acomidating and helpful. This Dr has made a huge difference in my life. See what he can do for you! Best wishes to all... MikeM from Ewing, NJ
