Dr. Nitin Kukkar is trained in the latest minimally invasive spine surgery techniques, and now brings these skills to the people in the San Antonio TX area. A humble beginning This town is his last stop on a long journey that began in a humble town in Northwestern India. We grew crops, plus my father worked in a sugar factory and my mom was an English teacher.
My hometown is not too unlike San Antonio: a good combination of city life with a small-town feel with no heavy traffic, and access to everything you need within minutes. The decision to pursue medicine came largely due to an injury his father sustained. Involved in a near-fatal jeep accident in 1985, his father's quality of life decreased due to knee injuries, causing him to become bedridden.

29 years of excruciating pain and gone immediately after surgery. There is no blowing smoke here. This is real. 6 weeks post op and can touch my toes for first time in 30 plus years. There is nothing I say to to meet the level thanks I owe this man for the relief he has given me. It does truly mean a new life. Wish I could give more then 5 ⭐️. Super highly recommend

In my mind, there are not enough superlatives to describe Dr. Kukkar. His professionalism, disposition, personality, and approachability are
second to none. He is an incredible surgeon who flawlessly performed minimally In-evasive back fusion on both me and my stepfather. We were both in one day and out the next with incredible results. Our recoveries were immediate. My family and I have total trust in him!!!

Dr. Nitin Kukkar is very sharp He diagnosed my problem right away.
For the last two years, I had been suffering from excrutiating, ripping, and debilitating pain down both arms.
My first orthopedic doctor told me its referred pain.
He sent me for physical therapy, which did not help. Then he referred me to a neurosurgeon, who told me he doesn’t see anything he can do. I went to another orthopedic doctor, who performed rotator cuff surgery (which is one of the worst surgeries, longest and most painful to recover from) and did not help.
I turned to my friends in the medical field for help.
