About Michigan Head & Spine Institute
Michigan Head & Spine Institute has garnered mixed reviews from its patients. Many express gratitude for the skilled care provided by Dr. Pannu and his team, particularly highlighting successful surgeries and recovery experiences. One patient, who underwent surgery for a Meningioma, reported life-saving care and a smooth recovery, allowing a return to normal activities. Another patient appreciated the efficient check-in process, noting a short wait time and friendly staff during their visit. However, some patients have faced significant challenges related to post-operative pain management. One individual shared their frustration with medication access due to insurance issues, leading to days of pain without relief. Despite initial positive experiences, the struggle to obtain necessary pain medications after surgery left them feeling unsupported and anxious. This situation underscores the importance of effective communication between the institute, pharmacies, and insurance companies to ensure patients receive timely care and medication. While many patients commend the expertise and thoroughness of Dr. Pannu—who takes the time to explain procedures and follow up with necessary tests—there are also calls for improved management of post-surgical care. Overall, Michigan Head & Spine Institute is recognized for its competent medical care, but some patients hope for enhancements in their support systems following surgery.
Originally I posted very positive review as far as the surgery went! I think Dr. Pannu is one of the best. However; the ball was dropped a few weeks after my surgery. If you enjoy living with pain post surgery you might want to try a better pharmaceutical company than BCBS's third party OptumRX!
First I was given enough pain meds to get through. I had neck bone fusion surgery with C5,C6, and C7 on February 12th, 2026. I wear a bone fusion device as well as a neck brace. The neck brace I only remove to take a shower. I wear it 24/7. When the pain meds wear off, I can't sleep because of the pain I am experencing. I slept the 1st 2 weeks upright in a chair.

I had a Meningioma on my brain and experienced partial seizures. It was a very stressful time of my life. Dr. Pannu and Dr. Jacob both saved my life. By the grace of GOD my surgery, post op care and recovery was incredible. I will forever be grateful and thankful for the rest of my life. I am back to work and doing all the same things I did as before, being active. Thank you SO MUCH!!!
I was able to sign in from home so all I had to do was give them my name and no filling out papers. I was told they were running a bit behind but I was only there for one hour. From the time I signed in and done visiting the doctor. I thought that was quick! I always enjoy my visits every one is so nice
