About the surgeon

Vikas V. Varma, MD

Board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon — Assistant Clinical Professor of Spine Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Board Certified, ABOS Fellowship-Trained Minimally Invasive Specialist Complex & Revision Surgery

Dr. Vikas V. Varma is a board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeon practicing in Midtown Manhattan. He holds an appointment at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Spine Surgery in the Department of Orthopedics. His practice, Manhattan Spine Consultants, specializes in diagnosing complex spine conditions and providing precise, patient-focused treatment plans.

Every plan is designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve long-term outcomes — beginning with X-ray, CT, and MRI workups to confirm the source of symptoms before any treatment is recommended. The overwhelming majority of his cases are resolved with minimally invasive techniques, with open surgery reserved for the rare cases that truly require it.

Philosophy of care

01 Conservative first Physical therapy, pain management, and rehabilitation are exhausted before surgery is ever discussed.

02 Precise diagnosis Treatment is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. Every plan starts with imaging and a thorough exam.

03 The least surgery necessary When surgery is the right answer, the goal is the smallest effective procedure with a durable outcome.
