Three weeks ago, I underwent a two-level lumbar artificial disc replacement with Dr. Rasouli, and I…read morecouldn't be more grateful for the care I received. 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.

He performed cervical spine disc replacement at my C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7, and his expertise has truly changed my life by relieving my pain and giving me back a quality of life I never thought I'd have again. Throughout the entire process, he was always respectful, compassionate, and had outstanding bedside manners, making me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. I especially appreciate that he took the extra time during surgery to carefully work through the challenges and make sure everything was done right. That level of dedication means more than words can express. I am incredibly grateful and would recommend Dr. Melamed without hesitation. Thank you for giving me my life back!

I am less than 1wk postop w/ Dr Lanman. I had a 7 level disc replacement (4 cervical, 3 Lumbar)…read moreClearly still healing but I'm already experiencing mobility and leg strength that I haven't had in years. I want to emphasize "I was on my way to LOSING THE ABILITY TO WALK ". I walked over an hour combined on Saturday after a Tuesday morning surgery. Bilateral neck and shoulder pain and weakness already 90% better. We traveled from LAX to Seattle yesterday - now 10 days out from surgery. I had wheelchairs scheduled to help me. I used the one at LAX out of force of habit. By the time we got to Seattle, I said to my wife "I'm not using that wheelchair, I want to walk". I walked for a half an hour, stopped at Starbucks to get her a coffee, our luggage was 45 minutes late. I was on my feet for well over an hour - zero pain. I had my three week postop visit with Dr. Lanman on Monday, he gave me the green light to start riding the Peloton bike. I've ridden every day for the last four days, no pain, starting to regain further leg strength. I haven't been able to walk barefoot in 20 years without significant pain. I walk everywhere barefoot now. In three weeks I've been cleared to start mountain biking again!!! I can walk up flights of stairs without having to pull myself up using the railing. We had five people over for dinner a few nights ago, I was on my feet for 2 1/2 hours cooking completely pain-free. I got to spend the entire Easter church service standing pain-free. These may sound like little things, but they're absolutely life-changing to me. I don't know how to say this anymore emphatically - if you are experiencing back and neck pain PLEASE reach out to Dr. Lanman for a consultation. He's compassionate, thoughtful, and knows as much about preserving spinal function as anyone. So much of our overall health is predicated on motion/activity. I'm 59 and I love being active, truthfully, I was dreading aging because I was in such horrible chronic pain. Now I'm looking forward to growing older, seeing my son get married and who knows maybe being a grandparent one day. I don't know if Dr. Lanman is the finest spine surgeon in the world, but in my opinion I would say there isn't anyone better! I know this is a long review, but I'm so grateful - I'll wrap up by saying the two other surgeons I spoke to wanted to fuse my cervical spine and make no repairs to my lumbar spine. I'm a person of deep faith, I was despondent at my prospects. I asked God for guidance and during that time that's when I found Dr. Lanman. My insurance paid for part of my surgery, because of the way insurance companies operate I paid for the additional portion. It was so worth it!! I told Dr. Lanman 10 out of 10 times - I would do it again. His staff is terrific too! Shout out to Blair and Arlene - they were so helpful to me during the pre-and post surgery process I can't say enough nice things about them.

After seeing four pain specialists and undergoing numerous treatments for my lower back pain, I…read moredecided to research Dr. Melikian. 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.

We came to Dr. Cho for her scoliosis follow-up and also to review a recent shoulder MRI. From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. The front desk staff was friendly, we waited only a few minutes, and everyone made us feel welcome. What impressed me most about Dr. Cho was his knowledge, honesty, and efficiency. I am not a doctor, but after 7 years of seeing many specialists, I have learned a lot by listening to the questions they ask and how they evaluate patients. Dr. Cho stands out. Within minutes of watching my daughter walk, stand, and move, he noticed things that many doctors miss. His observations were incredibly accurate, and it was impressive how much information he gathered simply by examining her posture and movement. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I also appreciated his approach to treatment. He recognized the value of non-surgical therapies, including Schroth therapy by Doctor Masha, and explained that surgery should be the last resort. That honest, patient-first mindset is not something you find with every surgeon. Another thing that impressed me was how efficient his office is. We received his detailed report the very same evening, which was amazing. I would also like to thank Justin Morman, the X-ray technician, who was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the visit. Dr. Cho was wonderful with my daughter, his staff was excellent, and his expertise is undeniable. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with scoliosis, spine, hip, or orthopedic issues. Thank you, Dr. Cho and your team, for the outstanding care.

I was so nervous for my surgery last December but Dr. Towfigh and her amazing team made it a breeze. I felt almost no pain, recovery wasn't too bad and I was back in the gym in 6 weeks. Flash forward almost a year and I was in severe stomach pain. I booked an appointment with Dr. Towfigh right away... A new hernia! I was bummed and in a lot of pain. Dr. Towfigh checked me out and found the problem and did NOT rush me back into unnecessary surgery. In fact, she told me to waiit out. A little over a week later and i'm back in the gym pretty much pain free. Point being, this woman knows her hernias. If I eventually need another surgery so be it, but I'm confident in my diagnosis and fully trust this doctor. Again, you get what you pay for. If you have a hernia, go see Dr. Towfigh.
