He performed a laminectomy-laminotomy on me twice, 5 years apart (I had a crappy employer, no time to recover), in the mid-late 1980's. I'm almost 70 now, and I can still walk, claim stairs, and live a normal retired life. And his bedside manner is beyond legendary. When my late wife had a surgical emergency, I called him for advice. He got the best vascular surgeon in town, and made sure my wife had the best care possible. In 2005, when I had a quadruple bypass at Memorial hospital, who came in unannounced? Dr. Ceverha...cracking jokes and making sure I had everything I needed. Just a great, skilled doctor, and a helluva guy. I'd dare to say I can call him a friend. He's THAT good. BTW...He's retired. read more

if this dr ceverha is working here still grab on to him right now asap. he did neck surgery on me and i never had any pain!!! he fixed the pinched nerves in my neck no more pain read more

I had surgery finally after six years of living with drop foot due to a L5 disc pushing into my spinal cord and nerves. I originally saw Dr. Ceverha who put me through X-rays, MRI, and finally MRI with contrast, which was a very traumatic experience! Each time he told me he couldn't find a problem until I did the MRI with contrast. Then he vaguely told me it was because of the L5 disc but surgery would be a very long recovery and didn't recommend it. He offered me muscle relaxers to help. I left there with a decision to just live with my condition, figuring it was not fixable. This was back in 2016/2017 when I had "Obama care" so it wasn't the greatest insurance. This arrogant jerk got as much out of my limited insurance as he could. Finally after six years of living with it I couldn't stand it anymore. I have better insurance and boy what a difference that makes! New doctor, great outcome, a lot of PT. He took one look at the x-ray, showed it to me, and pointed out the problem immediately! But guess what? I found out my new doctor works at the same place as this asshole! It's obvious to me that some doctors don't care about the patient unless they have good insurance! I'm devastated that these two doctors even co-exist. read more

He saved my life when I was 12. In March of 1988 I had Medulloblastoma. With a craniotomy he was able to take it out. I then needed a Lumbar shunt. read more

Dr. Barry B. Ceverha Is the best neuro surgeon there is to be. He removed my acoustic neuroma in May 1994 when was in my forties, now I am in my seventies. He did a perfect surgery with almost no damage to me. I am alive and healthy due to Dr. Ceverha. Thank you very much. Ashok Patel read more

Dr C. is a genuine, easy going and extremely comfortable specialist to talk to; where most specialists are a bit stuffy and... well arrogant or can be. What Dr. C. does is complicated and he brings it down to where a patient not only understands it but can make an informed decision about his healthcare and be comfortable with that decision. read more

I came here with my husband, who has had gnarly back pain for years. He's tried lots of other treatments for a herniated disc and after PT, acupuncture, weight loss, stretching, and epidural injections didn't work, it was time to consult a surgeon. We were referred here by our primary care doc, and after the 1st call I was a little skeptical. We were told that we'd have to talk to a specific nurse who did scheduling for Dr Ceverha. A day or so later we got a call from Beth, the nurse who does the scheduling. Basically she did a really thorough phone triage and history which was awesome. We were able to get in to see the doctor quite quickly which was great. Dr. Ceverha is great. He's very thorough, very no-nonsense, and personable. He's fun and easy to talk to and spends a lot of time getting to know you. In our couple of appointments, he spent a lot of time talking and going over issues and concerns, we never felt rushed or hurried. The down side to that is he typically runs late, but the Nurse Practitioner Bob and the other nurses and staff are very friendly and check in to chat and make sure you're not going too stir crazy. Ultimately Dr. Ceverha reccommended a procedure that he doesn't personally do for my husband, but he did refer us to another doctor who has also been great so far. He also handled the appointment and referral process so we didn't have to start over and wait 6 weeks for an appointment somewhere. His office called the other doctors office and got us in right away. If I ever need to see a neurosurgeon Dr Ceverha is 1st on my list. read more

My primary physician provided me with an approved referral for this practice and after several attempts of scheduling an appointment, I have not received a call back. I've left several voicemails and my primary physician telephoned them as well and tried to schedule an appointment for me, but they mentioned that they would go ahead and telephone me. I have not received a call and I obviously really need the medical treatment. Horrible customer service! read more

Dr. Ceverha is no doubt a great surgeon. But I give him 5 Stars for his caring attitude, for treating us like part of his family, for taking care of my son as if he's one of his own, for being the voice of reason when things are uncertain and for making us laugh when we truly needed it. His office staff is also great like Bob, Kim and Delia. My son has been going to them since birth. They have become family and that is something rare in the medical field. read more

Dr Barry Ceverha, MD is an amazingly down to earth surgeon who has a very kind and compassionate disposition, as well as professionalism which allows for open communication which gives him the insight needed to assess your unique personal medical needs. read more

Dr Cererha has the one of the best bedside manner I've ever delt with. He's truly a caring Dr.

Doctor Bob is terrific! He takes good care of me. He always takes the time to hear my issues and gives caring responses. He takes time to review all of my current medications, and has a pleasant personality. His assistant, Irma, is wonderful. She is very thorough, polite and professional. It is always a terrific visit ! read more

Worst 'doctor' I have ever encountered. Condescending & inappropriate during office visits. My C-3 discectomy & fusion have failed & I must undergo more surgery. I developed fibromyalgia after surgery. The rheumatologist told me the surgery caused the fibromyalgia. I was not informed that this was a risk before I signed the consent. Postop visits were a nightmare. He treated me like a malingerer when I was very I'll & extremely vulnerable. Look elsewhere for serious, professional care read more

Wish I could give you no stars, you POS. "You're just too f***** up, there's nothing more I can do for you." Thats what you told her after taking just the insurance money and botching a surgery that put her in more pain than anyone should experience. When the next surgeon saw what you did, he wanted to take action against you as well. I hope you rot in hell. Maybe he does a decent job for people with more money. But if this is who you're referred to and all you have is Medicare, and he says he won't bill you for more money than insurance will cover, expect to suffer for the rest of your life. read more

He did my husband back surgery years ago. Thanks for what you did, he's been in good shape since tgen

Dr. Barry Ceverha is unbelievable. He is the sweetest doctor. He has the best bedside manner. He has been a saving grace for our family.

Dr. Farin you are by far one of my favorite Drs! You and your nurses never fail to ask if I have any questions and if all my questions have been answered, that to my family and I is very special. Your staff does not hesitate to go that extra mile for customer satisfaction! I'm beyond grateful that my fathers brain surgery is doing so great. It's all thanks to the man upstairs and to you of course! Thank you for all that you do! read more

Dr Barry is simply the best! He would not do surgery until he was certain that it was absolutely necessary. He has an outstanding staff including his Nurse Practitioner Bob Salsameda (who is the greatest!!) and the lead administrative staff Irma Robles. Every single person on the staff makes you feel like you are their only patient. Dr. Barry has done three surgeries on me, all of which I had no choice. I continue to see Bob on a three month basis to keep my recovery on track. This is the only Dr,'s office that I actually look forward to going to! I had nothing but great experiences with the office and they made the surgeries go as well as humanly possible. I recommend Dr. Barry whenever I can! read more

I have seen Dr, Ceverha twice, first in 2006 for a cervical spine surgery. I had never been through any type of surgery and was so very nervous. After talking to him, and explaining the complete procedure, I went in with such calmness. in 2013, I again had to have another procedure, and my first call was to Dr. Ceverha. There was no way I would trust with what could be a delicate surgery, other than Dr. Ceverha. He just has a way to make you feel such at ease. Here I am 4 years later, with a completely different problem, and again there is no other Dr. I can put my complete trust in, other than Dr. Ceverha. Not only is he wonderful, but his staff, the medical group is just great, and best of all....the wait time has been under 10 minutes!!!! Now how can you beat that!!! read more

My hats are off too Dr Ceverha and his staff, every time I go there they always make sure my wants and needs are taken care of, I feel so comfortable with this Dr office Thankyou very much Tim Thompson read more

I have had a bad back for as long as I can remember. A slipped disc in my L4L5 that quickly went from 4 mm to about 15mm. My sciatica kept me from living a happy and productive life. Being only 27 years old, and a very active 27 year old at that, my pain kept me from being able to do just about everything... I was miserable. After a pain management specialist recommended Dr. Ceverha, my life was forever changed. His professionalism, experience and light hearted nature made the decision to operate easy. He operated on me the very next day and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Dr. Ceverha to anyone who needs a neurologist, and can assure you that you are in good hands. His team, including his amazing NP Bob made kept me calm throughout the whole process. I am now back pain free and am so grateful... Thank you Dr. Ceverha! read more

Dr. Barry Ceverha saved my life. There is not a year that goes by that I do not remember and appreciate his vast knowledge and experience. I am forever grateful to this amazing human being. read more

Dr. Ceverha has been my surgeon for a very long time. He truly cares and he is the only one that I trust. I honestly can say he is the best doctor I have ever known. He has such a wonderful bedside manner and I can definitely tell that he cares for my well being. I could not be more grateful. He has saved my life several times and I would not be here without him. read more

Excellent surgeon. Dr C has the ability to communicate on a level that you can understand. Unlike many surgeons he takes a conservative approach before suggesting surgery. read more

I have to agree with those who wrote about Dr Cerveha's bedside manner. He is extremely down to earth a d friendly. I am glad I looked him up on Yelp and well as Top 10 LA doctors for my care. I can now see why! read more

Dr. Ceverha takes the time to explain in detail, in terms you can understand, what is the cause of your condition and what your options are to fix it. He goes over your MRI and shows you what is causing the condition but does not pressure you into surgery. He explains your options. I had been to two other neurologists before Dr. Ceverha but he was the best. read more

Dr. Ceverha did my cervical spine surgery after an automobile accident. I was so afraid of being paralyzed because of the severity of my injuries. Dr. Ceverha was very comforting, understanding and patient with me when I expressed my apprehension about surgery. He assured me that he wouldn't consider if he didn't think he could help me. My incision was through the front of my neck, in a natural crease, an den still isn't noticeable. I only wish I could see him again to assess my neck pain. read more

Last september I discovered I had a pituitary tumor. It was very large and I was losing my vision. (very scary). I immediately went to Dr Ceverha. (Neurosurgeon) Dr.Ceverha made me feel so comfortable. He referred me to an Endocrinologist for some blood work, to see if the tumor could possibly be shrunk with medication. Unfortunately I was not a candidate. But I was given prednisone, because I was feeling so sickly. (headaches, severe body aches, and a low grade fever) These symptoms disappeared, and I was able to go through the surgery. After Dr Ceverha operated, I felt 100% better. And most importantly, my vision returned! God bless Dr. Ceverha! He is the best. read more

Without Dr. Ceverha, my beautiful daughter would not have lived. I can not THANK him enough.
