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.

Spinal surgery
The best surgeon I could have ever asked for when he did my surgery and repaired my spine. He had to recage my lower spine and new poles with screws with cadaver bones. He had to go through my stomach because my prior neurosurgeon from Saginaw messed up so bad that he couldn't go through my back due to scar tissue. The only thing is that I wish he change is that he would accept the insurance I have now because I am having issues now with my upper spine and I'd like to come back to see him for it.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this Dr. Abdulhak After seeking their expertise for a severe spine injury, I was misdiagnosed, which led to unnecessary pain and delayed proper treatment. Their lack of attention to my symptoms and dismissive attitude during consultations made me feel unheard and undervalued as a patient. It was only after seeking a second opinion that I discovered the true extent of my condition and received the correct diagnosis and care. I would not recommend Dr. Abdulhak based on my experience, as their misjudgment had serious consequences for my health.

He has made a huge difference in my life through his thoughtfulness and caring. He went out of his way to schedule surgery for me within a couple of weeks once he realized how much pain I was in. He is a very gifted surgeon and I feel blessed to have him for a doctor.
