For over a year since October of 2024 I had been suffering with Lumbar stenosis with Neurogenic…read moreClaudication. I was seeing experts in Orthopedic care in Valencia for this pain problem. The doctors took x rays and MRI of my back to determine this. They started me off with pain meds that did nothing to ease the pain as well as an Epidural Steroid Injection in my back in L4 & L5 area. of my back. That did not work either to ease the extreme pain down both of my legs from my feet up to my butt when I stand or walk. Pain so bad I could not walk and one step away from needing a walker or wheelchair to get around. I walked hunched over. The only relief I got was when I was sitting or laying down. They finally gave up and told me to go to a pain clinic specialist. I spend the summer of 2025 going to a Chiropractors, Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine pain center pain specialist. I got PRP shots, Shockwave treatments and spinal decompression on a moving table to relieve pressure on my sciatic nerve 3 times a week. Insurance did not cover this. After tall this treatment, and $6000.00 later they told me there was nothing more they could do. I would need surgery to fix the problem. It took 10 months to tell me I needed surgery to fix my extreme pain in my legs preventing me from walking. What a waste of time. Why did I have to wait so long in pain before they stopped trying to hide the problem with pills and shots. Just fix the problem! As I was going through all this my neighbor just had a surgery on his back for pretty much the same problem. A sciatic nerve in his back was causing him pain down his right leg only. He had back surgery and came out of surgery the same day and was able to walk without pain. WOW! Who was this surgeon? I want his name. It was Dr Lobo of Neurosurgical Associate of Los Angeles. I made an appointment to see Dr Lobo to see about getting him to operate on my back and fix my problem. I gave him my MRI and he got an additional X-Ray to get more information he needed. I saw him on Sept 9th and I was in the operating room by Oct 23rd. That was quick. No more wasting time with shots and pills for pain. He went right to work. The operation was at Henry Mayo Hospital in Valencia. They have an excellent staff there. The best place to be. After the operation I felt no pain at all. I was out of the hospital by 1pm. They wheeled me out to my car and was able to stand and walk from the wheel chair to the car without any pain like nothing ever happened. Amazing! I was at home resting in bed and was told recovery would be 4 to 6 weeks. After a few days my sciatic pain started to come back and my legs were in pain once again. As time went on the pain was as bad as it was before the operation. I went back to see Dr Lobo on Nov 4th. He said because I was able to walk to the car after the surgery, the surgery was a success. I must be suffering from sciatica inflammation and gave me a prescription of Prednisone to be taken over the next 15 days. The pain was starting to get better for the first 4 days then on the 5th day it all started to come back. I thought I was doomed to have this pain the rest of my life. On the 9th day, Nov 13th I woke up and the pain all went away. No more pain at all and it never came back. On Nov 18th I had my followup with Dr. Lobo. Told him my experience with the days after prednisone and he said that was normal. Your inflammation is gone and the operation was a complete success! After over year I am finally PAIN FREE thanks to Dr Lobo. I spent an entire year in pain for nothing. I wish I had see Dr. Lobo on Day 1. Dr. Lobo is a great doctor. He will spend time with you and explain your condition and what needs to be done to fix it. No BS with drugs and shots to try to hide the pain. Instead Dr Lobo fixes the problem that is causing the pain! Don't waste time like I did suffering for over a year with this horrible pain. Go see Dr. Lobo and get your sciatica problem fixed. I will also tell you that at no time did I have any pain at all from the actual back operation. My back was fine. It has a very small scar and that is all. The operation was totally painless!!!!!! Don't be afraid of this back surgery at all! Dr Lobo is the best!!!! Dr. Bjorn Lobo is a board-certified and dual fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in spine surgery and brain tumor surgery. Thank you Dr. Lobo! Bob Meza Canyon Country

Dr. Travis R. Ladner is a true miracle worker. My…read morehusband is a senior. He had Scoliosis of the entire spine. This caused him to hunch over. He developed a "hunchback." Our primary considerations going into surgery were two-fold: (1) Would he survive the surgery considering his age? (2) What were the chances the surgery would cause paralysis? It was scary to consider. After much prayer and consideration, my husband opted for the surgery. He had extensive spine surgery at the end of April 2026. His entire spine, from top to bottom, had to be straightened. Without a doubt it was gruelling work. His surgery went from 9 to 12 hours because of its complexity. We can't imagine Dr. Ladner's exhaustion after such intricate and extensive work on a patient for 12 straight hours. Today, let me declare unequivocally that Dr. Travis R. Ladner is truly one of the best surgeons in the country - if not THE BEST. To us, he was and is a Godsend. Here we are around 3 months later. My husband has just about made a full recovery. Family, friends, medical practitioners and other doctors are astonished at the surgery and at my husband's quick recovery. My brother, who has worked as a Physical Therapist for over 30 years, says he's never known of, much less met anyone, who has had my huband's full-spine surgery. Would we do it all over again with Dr. Lader? Heck, yes. In addition to his skill, deep knowledge and unique talent, Dr. Ladner has a warm and reassuring attitude/bedside manner with undivided attention, respect, and genuine care from one human being to another. We LOVE Dr. Ladner and are ever grateful to him for what he has done. Jackie-the-Critic gives Travis R. Ladner M.D. 5 stars & beyond - so does her husband. If you want the best neurosurgeon available, then the California Neurological Institute has Dr. Travis R. Ladner.

I've had 2 prior spine surgeries which were laminectomy and laminectomy revision. I was told my only option after that would be a fusion. So I switched health insurance and did extensive research and Dr. Melikian was on the list of top neurosurgeons. I made an appointment to see Dr. Melikian who ordered multiple MRIs. After careful review Dr. Melikian recommended a microdiscectomy which ended up being the best decision for my back. The pain I was feeling daily is gone and the recovery has been much easier than previous surgeries. His Physician Assistant JoAnna and the rest of his office staff were always so supportive and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Melikian to anyone suffering from back pain due to spinal issues.

Although I live in Long Beach and had limited time to visit in person, Dr. Melikian was kind enough to initiate contact via email and responded promptly. He arranged a quick phone consultation at no charge. He came across as very amiable, genuinely concerned, and highly knowledgeable about the subject. During our conversation, he brought up additional tests and treatment options I wasn't previously aware of. The call was definitely productive and appreciated. My only gripe, generally speaking--not specific to his practice--is that stem cell treatments are exorbitantly priced and not covered by insurance. Expect to pay anywhere from $6,000 to $9,000 or more for various stem cell treatment options. So, not a go just yet until I figure out how to come up with the money, I will have to live with my back pain.

From my very first appointment, Dr. Rasouli and his entire team were not only exceptionally talented but also incredibly compassionate and empathetic. They took the time to answer my questions, made me feel comfortable throughout the process, and genuinely cared about my recovery. Before surgery, I could barely stand, walk, or sit for more than 30 seconds because of severe nerve pain. The most amazing moment was waking up after surgery and realizing that the extreme nerve pain I'd been living with was gone. Just two weeks into recovery, I was already seeing major improvements. Today marks three weeks since surgery, and I'm back to driving, running errands, and becoming stronger every day. While I still have healing ahead of me, I can already see myself getting back to the things I love most--hiking, working out, traveling, and producing events. Choosing Dr. Rasouli was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're considering spine surgery and want a surgeon who combines extraordinary skill with genuine compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rasouli and his outstanding team.
