They truly want to help you feel better with surgery being a last resort. They have taken me from a walker/cane to being able to walk unassisted most days. He also figured out which disc was causing my pain. I had previous steroid injections and they didn't hit the spot that needed to be hit. This doc uses the steroid epidurals to help diagnose which disc is causing the pain. That is especially important in those of us who have multiple back issues. I am so grateful to him and his entire team. They always let me know if they're running behind and I totally understand why when I realize all the homework he does before seeing you and making recommendations. When surgery day does arrive, hopefully down the road, I will know I'm in very good hands.

He worked with me for quite some time before we finally decided on having the surgery. After the surgery, and once the anesthesia wore off, I was feeling great. It's been two weeks and I have much more movement in my neck and the pain is less each day. I am so grateful and appreciative of Dr Ostrup's perfection. I consider him my guardian angel.

They are extremely slow, especially when it comes to paperwork. I handle multiple doctors' offices across different counties, so I know how professional offices should operate. This isn't just "unacceptable" -- it is unacceptable. It has now been beyond 10 business days, and simple forms are still not completed. Instead of efficiency, I've been met with excuses, as if patients don't understand how offices work. On top of that, the wait times are ridiculous. Even when you arrive on time, you end up sitting far too long before being seen. It adds unnecessary stress to an already frustrating experience. Because of this, I dread coming to this office. While Dr. Raiszadeh deserves recognition for his surgical excellence, the staff's inefficiency and excessive wait times drag the overall experience down to an inferior rating.
