Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Neurosurgeon found he missed nerve compression.
He focused on one issue (a spinal cyst) and missed other diagnoses which needed immediate attention. His mistake and inaction caused months of suffering until our pain management doctor referred us to a neurosurgeon who correctly interrupted the imaging studies and all the issues involved.

No interest in his patients, just wants to bill Me
The kind people sitting in the waiting room said “he’s fast. “ I wanted more than 5 minutes. Surgery scheduling is horrible. Messages are left and never returned. He may be a good “cutter,” but he’s zero with potential patients. Find someone else.

Dr. Moshirfar spent time reviewing all X-rays and tests before entering. He spent time explaining the results before giving his recommendation of treatment. He listened and answered my questions. He also shared both positive and negative aspects of the treatment. I felt very confident in his expertise and advice.

Dr Moshifar is an excellent surgeon and willing to try many options before surgery. I ended up needing back surgery as the only real option after trying months of physical therapy and pain shots. The surgery changed my life and gave me back the freedom of movement without pain I had always enjoyed. Forever grateful for his skills as a surgeon.

His very conservative and doesn’t rush you to have the surgery if there are some options exist. He explained to me in detail all the risks I may have if I decided to have the surgery while three other surgeons strongly advised me to have the surgery to relief my problem. They did not pay attention to my other health issues which will have negative effect on the results of the surgery.

Dr moshifar is amazing, we recommend him without hesitation. He is clearly very busy, moves & talks very fast but we felt he was very very thorough at the same time & very sympathetic to healing process. He is patient & we trusted him completely right from the beginning. We hope to never need him again but it is a great source of comfort knowing such excellence is available so close by.

The visit was quick and very informative. Dr. Moshirfar asked how I was feeling, gave a quick check-up to see the progress of my injury, explained my MRI, discussed appropriate treatment options, and made a treatment plan moving forward. An appointment was scheduled for 6 weeks down the road to discuss my progress. I was very pleased with Dr. Moshirfar’s conservative approach to my treatment.
