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.

Doctor Taha and his staff were very professional period they took care of all my needs Taha fixed my back my neck many times Uber from me entering myself period but not only from Doctor Taha his staff Karen Nathan and the other 2 girls in there have been excellent with my paperwork carrying about that I get everything done that I need for my third from my therapy to my favorite to a medical Disability. Doctor Taja was very caring and very detailed in explaining what needed done. Also he explained to me the work that I was doing was injuring myself because it's so physical period. Nathan is excellent very detailed understanding or needs my needs and where I should go next after my surgery to therapy to what I needed done he is an excellent guy very detailed. As for a staff he has an excellent crew Karen runs things unbelievable well. Getting my paperwork signed getting copies everything she was on it period and not once did she ever seem aggravated always came with me with a smile and ask me how I was doing. The other 2 ladies as far as making copies and scheduling I can't remember their names but we're very nice and got right on it I didn't ever have to wait for records copies or anything that I needed. Doctor Taha and his crew are very precise and very caring. I would Recommend Doctor Taja in his office Two anybody That needed any kind of major back surgery. I want to thank Doctor Taha Nathan and Karen and the rest of his crew for taking well care of me thank you so much I'm walking because of these guys thank you Doctor Ta ha.

Great Nuero Spine Surgeon
I've had to procedures by Dr. Taha. Both were very successful. The only issues I had were the incompetence of some office staff. I'm a retired nurse and Health Care Administrator. Some of his staff were unprofessional and rude.

Wish I could recommend
My first husband had cancer that went to the brain. Dr. Taja did his surgery which went well. That isn’t my concern. Not long after his surgery when getting his radiation his doctor saw what he thought was an infection at the site of the surgery. He reported that to Dr. Taja who disagreed. I even was standing next to Dr. Taja when he was talking to the radiation oncologist and telling him there was no issue. Shortly thereafter the abscess burst while we were at home. The infection had reached the bone also and so he lost part of his skull and brain. I consider this needless. He also was in IV antibiotics for six weeks which meant I had to hang his IV in the morning and evening but thankfully I could work from home. Had I not been able to work from home I don’t know what we would have done. So, I think he might be a good doctor but in our instance he didn’t listen. And he is so short with his patients. I had to follow him out of the room to finish talking to him. Just be aware.

Major medical issues resulted from my lower back surgery with Taha. Just a few weeks after surgery I developed a severe infection that required emergency surgery. In his arrogance Taha refused to admit I was infected (even though other doctors, including the ER doc told me it was infected). He also tried to clean up more of my spine while doing the infection surgery, and I have since developed scoliosis. A few weeks later I developed another infection, and blood clots that required me to be careflighted to a major hospital in a bigger city. Had l continued to let him care for me, I’m convinced I would be permanently disabled and perhaps even paralyzed. Please don’t use Dr. Taha. His arrogance may seem like confidence at first, but I assure you that he is not a good surgeon.

It was a non visit. After waiting to see him for a month, his office called to reconfirm the appointment. Less than an hour later, his office called to advise he informed they he wasn't coming in Monday. Offered me an appointment in another month. Very unprofessional, very uncaring. He had done my husband's neck surgery several years ago, and when I mentioned it to a few nurses I knew they said he was very lucky he had a good result as most do not.

I am walking 5Ks after dr. Taha fused my spine from T9 down to L1 just 7 months ago! He gave me my life back! My spine was beginning to crumble after 10 years of other doctors doing nothing and it took one visit for him to find the problem and suggest my surgery. Handicapped at the age of 29 I am now finally living life again at 40 and feel better than I did in my mid-20s. I had scoliosis which only added to the crumbling vertebrae and herniated discs. My spine and posture are back to normal now! I cannot say enough about Dr. Taha and his staff! I was told for years not to get surgery because I was too young but it took away my life as I lived in constant pain and on useless meds, using a wheelchair and cane. I now can play with my kids the same as someone half my age. I have lost 40 lbs since surgery as I am now able to move like a healthy 40 yr old. I could never thank him enough for making me feel my age again and giving me my life back after years of pain and missing out on life!

Dr TAHA was very nice & soft spoken & laid out my options for me. I already have spinal fusion from another surgeon about 7 years ago. I’m having numbness in my right hand & severe pain in my neck. Dr TAHAs office staff was very nice & I had a early appointment & even after getting some X-rays before he seem me I was in & out pretty quickly. He was explained the procedure to me if the traction he is having try first doesn’t work. He answered all my questions & explained the risk & benefits. Dr TAHA is even doing a newer procedure that other doctors around the US & world are coming to learn from him. His PA Nathan was very nice doing a pre examination before Doctor TAHA came into the room. He seems like a very passionate surgeon. He actually done back surgery on my family doctor who referred me & he said he done a awesome job on him. He even does surgeries on weekends which is almost of unheard of at this day & age unless it’s a emergency.

Not only was my surgery successful getting rid of the pain, but he visited me each day I was in the hospital. Kudos to all of the staff!!! Korbie, Nathan, Ellen, Karen, and Tonya. After one visit Ellen at the front desk knew who I was. Tonya went the extra talking with the insurance company. Korbie, Nathan, Karen always made me feel comfortable and safe in the exam rm during the time when I was scared. Everyone was always very friendly,caring. A++++++
