Interventional Pain Management Doctor | Raj N. Sureja, MD

Dr. Raj Sureja joined OSC in 2008 as a board-certified, fellowship-trained Interventional Pain Management Doctor. His practice is focused on pain reduction of the spine and spine-related disorders through minimally-invasive interventional procedures. Dr. Sureja enjoys being a pain management specialist because he feels tremendous personal and professional satisfaction in being able to help people feel better. Dr. Sureja has been named a “Top Doc” in Pain Medicine every year since 2012 by Coastal Virginia Magazine, chosen by his peers in the medical community.

His favorite therapies to perform are vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and spinal cord stimulation because patients typically see results immediately and they can be done in-office at OSC. In fact, Dr. Sureja was the first physician in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia to perform an in-office vertebroplasty and one of two to perform in-office kyphoplasty. Dr. Sureja has an excellent rate of success with his patients who are treated with spinal cord stimulation. He firmly believes that this orthopedic technology works for the great benefit of the patient.

With these therapies, Dr. Sureja sees amazing improvements in quality of life for patients young and old, and several of our patients have returned to high level physical activity such as running, competitive swimming, horseback riding and scuba diving, just to name a few.

In addition to his medical commitments, Dr. Sureja leads a busy personal life and is the proud father of four children. When he’s not spending time with his family, Dr. Sureja is an avid golfer, runner, snowboarder and world traveler. His favorite thing to do is snowboarding out west with friends and family. Dr. Sureja is also a huge Baltimore Ravens and Orioles fan and he enjoys playing pickup basketball, pickleball and attending concerts and Broadway shows.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Rated 5 out of 5

I am a retired Air Force pilot with 27 years of service. I flew F-4Bs, Cs, Ds, and Es. Most of my F-4 time was in the D series. Wonderful and exciting to fly. Just imagine a roller coaster that lasted for hours, not minutes or seconds but by the hour. I also flew the F-5 Freedom Fighter, models B, C, D, E, & F. I was an IP (Insttuctor Pilot) in both aircraft. I was in combat for 2 tours and 500+ hours in the F4. I am also a charter member of the first F-5 Fighter Weapons School Training… Read More

Dr. Haynes is the best! My knee replacement has been a godsend. I followed all directions given and PT and I’m moving better than ever. Thank you Dr. Haynes -Janey Armstrong

Janey Armstrong – Knee Replacement with Dr. Boyd Haynes

Dr. Carlson has been my back doctor for the last two years treating me for lumbar, leg and back pain and sciatica. We started slowly with regular physical therapy and my discomfort was under control. After a year we started discussion about a lumbar fusion. He made me feel comfortable with his decision that the next step would alleviate my pain and so. I agreed. I had it done in January 2026 and today I am a new person. I am still doing PT at home but my last appointment showed my back and… Read More

Patricia Liquori – Lumbar Fusion with Dr. Jeffrey Carlson

Thanks to Dr. Andrus and Dr. McFarland for giving me hope for my future. I had a spinal cord stimulator placed in June 1 and it has changed my life. I am able to live a better quality of life thanks to this device. My pain is now under control without any medications and has been reduced by at least 75% compared to before the implantation. I’m no longer limited due to my pain. This device has been like a miracle for me. I can finally see a bright future for myself that doesn’t include… Read More

Valencia Williams – Spinal Cord Stimulator with Drs. Jenny Andrus and Mark McFarland

Wow! My back surgery turned into a real journey. About four years ago, I started having some back issues that I could control with Motrin when needed. Several years later my wife was getting prepped for knee replacement with Dr.Boyd Haynes at Orthopedic Spine Center. I thought it would be a good time to have someone look at my back. A MRI was done, followed by a steroid injection to my back. Totally amazing, it worked for about a year with no pain. Last year the pain returned. The ortho folks… Read More
