Dr. Francis Farhadi, MD

Dr Farhadi & his staff were professional, attentive & compassionate. Dr Farhadi is very knowledgeable & an extremely gifted & skilled Neurosurgeon. I am blessed to have been referred to him for my care.

My experience with Dr. Farhadi has been great. He is an excellent surgeon and I would highly recommend him.

After debilitating results from multiple back surgeries at another hospital, I met with Dr Farhadi and his team. They put together a plan for surgery that corrected the pain and disabilities that I had. The result was life changing. Within a few months I have significantly improved mobility, no pain, and on track to return normal activity. Dr. Farhadi and his team were extremely professional and caring. I couldn't ask for a better result.

Dr. Farhadi listened to my concerns and problems before he suggested a plan. He made sure I understood all the specifics of the plan. He and Kyla also took time to answer my (many!) questions. I've had great relief now for the past year thanks to this wonderful team.

Dr. Farhadi is a great doctor in every way. The staff have been so caring. I recommend Dr. Farhadi very highly.

Very rude and disrespectful. Didn’t care about my pain or concerns

Dr Fahardi explained in detail my spine problems and the type of surgery that would be done. He recommended that I take some time to decide whether I wanted to go ahead and have surgery. He took time to answer all my questions/concerns, and was very respectful. If I had to have a surgery again, I would not think twice about Dr Fahardi performing it.

I had surgery on my neck about 8 years ago and followed this surgeon to his new location. Best decision ever! Especially had a bad experience with a local surgeon that kept yelling and speaking down to me. Thank you!

I got opinions from 3 respected neurosurgeons, one was Dr. Farhadi. The other two said I need to have Dr. Farhadi operate on me due to the complexity of my problems. They said he was the only Dr in this region who is experienced with adult deformities and the degree of disk disease at multiple levels I had in my spine. I met with Dr Farhadi and didn’t find him particularly engaging, which concerned me at first blush. After thinking about it for a day it became clear that dismissing a technical expert with a stellar track record because he didn’t have an engaging personality was unwise. Dr. Farhadi operated on me 2 weeks later in November 2022. I couldn’t be more happy with the results! Don’t hesitate to trust this Dr. If you need a good neurosurgeon.

Dr. Farhadi and his staff changed my life. All pre-op symptoms are completely gone. It is truly a miracle. So thankful! Definitely a hero in my opinion. Recommending him highly to family and friends. The light has even returned to my eyes! Simply amazing!!!!!

It took me months to see him, however, he didn’t explain my MRI results and didn’t care about my concerns. His office staff constantly laughing behind doors.

I saw this doc as a second opinion after another surgeon signed me up for a three level neck surgery to fuse my bones together. Dr Farhadi patiently reviewed my images and instead recommended rehab with massage, exercises, and traction. The therapist was amazed at the detailed instructions he provided. I've recovered and have had no pain for the past 3 months! Even if I ever end up needing surgery in the future, I will trust this doctor's advice.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with this doc. He is very knowledgeable and spent time reviewing my MRI results. He described a clear plan and was very honest about the surgery and expected recovery process. I just had my one year follow-up and all is great! He has a wonderful team that clearly respect and love working with him.

Very professional team. I appreciated the personalized care I received.

I am a resident of Columbus OH and had Dr. Farhadi recommended to me by a close friend that works at Ohio State. I was disappointed when I learned that he had just left for Kentucky last summer. But I felt I had no other good options for my difficult back problem. I was so happy to hear that he was willing to treat my condition and I had surgery in October 2021. I have no regrets despite the drive to Lexington. Dr. Farhadi is a gifted, one of a kind surgeon. He also has a wonderful team, especially Kyla (NP that works with him).

After waiting over an hour past my appointment being rushed as he went thru his pre-planned script and brushed off my concerns and problems, he didn't even look at the MRI's I had brought and never called me back with the answers to my questions.

He is the best!

I asked for a referral to Dr. Farhadi based on a friend’s recommendation and his online comments. I feel that my research was rewarded in spades. He explained my condition so well. I initially decided to hold off on surgery but I just couldn’t take the pain anymore. The surgery was six months ago and feel like a new person. His care and attention 6 months out is just as good as during my initial visit. I cannot say enough about him.

Dr. Farhadi took time to listen and was so professional. The surgery went very well and my pain is gone. More impressive yet is his follow-up - he actually cares and wants you to do well. I would refer to anyone looking for a spine surgeon.

This doctor deserves “6 stars”! I saw two other surgeons (including one at OSU) who brushed me off as “too complicated”. He spent almost an hour with me during our first meeting explaining my condition and the images. My surgery was a year ago and I am still doing very well. I couldn’t be happier with this doc.
