Our Physicians
Jaideep Chunduri, M.D.
When I first met Dr. Chunduri, I was impressed by his knowledge, thoroughness and how he made a complex medical problem very understandable. His communication skills both verbal and nonverbal are excellent.
He operated on my spine, an operation I dreaded because of a terrible outcome my brother had when he underwent a similar operation. Now, I am glad that I was able to overcome my fear and that he was my surgeon. Before the surgery, I was able to walk about 300 feet before having to sit and the walking was always accompanied by pain, as for sitting about 20 minutes is all I could endure and then there were the falls. Today, I can walk several miles, wade the trout streams of Ml, mow the lawn, trap shoot and this coming fall, I plan to return to fields to hunt grouse. So many other activities I can now do as well . Thank you Thank you Thank you!
He is a gifted surgeon and a great individual. I want to thank him for all he’s done for me.

I am about 5 months out from L4-L5, and L5-S1 Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion surgery performed by Dr. Jaideep Chunduri. I had endured pain for several years; it was affecting my ability to work efficiently, and simply walking for any length of time was impossible. In 4 years, I endured a dozen back injections, 5 MRIs, a platelet injections injection, Physical Therapy, a chiropractor – nothing relieved the pain that radiated from my butt down into my legs. Spinal Fusion surgery became the only option left to me.
After surgery, once I was able to get up and walk down the hall in the hospital I realized – the pain was gone! There was, of course, discomfort from the incisions and some stiffness, but what I had endured for years was gone. The pain I experienced directly from the actual surgery was minimal, and pain meds were unnecessary after about 1+ weeks. Now, after post op physical therapy and 5 months of walking around with my new back, life has returned to a painless normal. I continue to look forward to work and future travel.
Dr. Chunduri and his staff are remarkable. Dr. Chunduri has a great bedside manner and takes the time to explain what he is going to do. Bridgette, his PA, gives very detailed instructions and answers questions in a manner that instills trust. Michelle helped me with some problems that arose with scheduling.
I have since recommended Dr. Chunduri to friends and family. My experience with him has been nothing short of a miracle.

From the front desk, to the MA, to the PA, and to Dr. Chunduri himself, the experience was wonderful. Dr. Chunduri and his team were so kind throughout the process. I would highly recommend them!

I give thanks everyday to our Lord for you and the team at Beacon. Your team gave me my life back. No pain and can do the everyday things I took for granted before my surgery in 2010. Everytime I see a Beacon ad or pass your buildings, gives me chills down my spine (excuse the pun). Blessings!

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Chunduri’s for the past 4 years. His quality of care has been absolutely superior every time she has needed him. He is very professional, genuine and relates with her and I both. Julie, his assistant, is also extremely professional and caring, as well as very efficient. When she tells me that she will call me back or arrange an appointment for my daughter, she follows through promptly. We can always count on Dr. Chunduri and Julie to give prompt excellent care! Thank you!

I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Dr. Chunduri. About 2 years ago he performed a Laminectomy & a Spinal Fusion on my back, today I just returned from a vacation that I was able to jet ski & go tubing out West. I could never have done these things without his expertise. I also have a right knee replacement and left hip replacement by Dr. Chaudhary, so a big THANK YOU to him as well. Just had to let you all know have happy I am living thanks to these 2 great Doctors!

This is a link to an article in the enquirer last week. If you click on the picture it will show a caption about Brian, a senior at Covington Catholic High School.
Our son Brian was in pain most of his sophomore year and he could not play ball at Covington Catholic at all his junior year. After trips to two other surgeons we were encouraged by friends to call Beacon. In the fall of 2012 you first saw Brian. You performed surgery on Brian in June of 2013 and less than a year later he was playing baseball again. Words cannot begin describe the joy you brought to our family. Seeing Brian healthy, smiling, laughing and fully enjoying his senior year of high school was truly a blessing. Him being able to enjoy playing baseball again was just icing on the cake.
Thanks for all you do!

I was very pleased with Dr. Chunduri as my physician. He was a great surgeon and I was able to recover very quickly and return to my activities and daily living. He is a kind and caring physician and made me feel comfortable with any questions I had. Kate, his physician assistant is very knowledgeable and also was very kind and caring. I would recommend anyone else needing the type of surgery I had to go to them.

I had fusion surgery on my L-4,L-5 and S-1 vertebrae in April of 2013. My surgeon was Dr. Chunduri and he was assisted by his PA, Kate. It has been almost 1 year since my operation and my quality of life has so vastly improved I can hardly believe it. Sure, for the first month or so I was using pain medication just to get through the day, which I think was a normal sequence of events, but maybe in 3 months or less I was not using any medications as a result of the surgery. I personally cannot thank Beacon and my surgical team enough. I would also recommend, and will continue when asked my feelings about them, to recommend Beacon Orthopedics. All I can say is THANK YOU BEACON with all my heart.

I want to say thank you to you and your staff for all the care you have given me since November, 2011. Your Physician Assistants, Medical Assistant, Schedulers and Therapists always made me feel that I was in good hands and everything would be fine. I especially want to mention Carmen. She provided all the necessary paperwork I needed for Worker’s Comp and my employer and did not miss a beat. You are fortunate to have her on your staff!

Just want to thank you! In June of 2012, I came to you with a pinched nerve in my neck and the fingers on my right hand did not function. You performed a cervical fusion, but there would be no guarantee that my hand would ever function normally again. I chose not to have hand surgery (your suggestion.) I am so happy to say that since the fusion, my hand is about 90% back to normal. I can play the piano and type again!

I began my appointments with Dr. John Brannan and my surgeon was Dr. Chunduri. All through my process with sciatica I couldn’t have felt in more capable hands than with Dr. Brennan, Dr. Chunduri and his assistant Kate Muenzer. From the beginning of my visits I feel Beacon answered all my questions and even helped me over my surgery anxiety. Thanks Kate! I am now pain free! I have recommended Beacon Orthopedics to a female co-worker. She is now a patient with a Beacon knee specialist!

I was in a bad automobile accident involving a semi truck. The truck hit me behind the driver seat in a minivan. Since that day, I was in extreme pain. My life changed dramatically I was unable to do normal everyday chores or play with my kids. I was told by the other orthopaedic surgeons that I had a degenerative spine. When I had exhausted my options of therapy, medication, and epidurals,my son referred me to Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at Harrison Avenue office. Dr. Jaideep Chunduri who specializes in the spinal field became my doctor. After the neck and back injuries were diagnosed and treated surgically by Dr. Chunduri, I have been out of pain. I must brag about Dr. Jaideep Chunduri who has helped me tremendously with my upper and lower back problems. I was to the point that I had no life due to the pain but now I am smiling and enjoying life without pain medications and muscle relaxants. Please see your family doctor but I also refer you to Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. The staff and the doctors are wonderful!
