He wasn't like the "Cowboy" surgeons who wanted to perform surgery on me right away. Dr. Quereshi took his time and did every test imaginable at the time to make sure that surgery was the correct option. Keep in mind my L5 had disintegrated to almost nothing and L4 wasn't far behind! The pain was brutal. We all know about the magic pills they were giving out then and I took a ton of them. I am not saying my back is perfect but I can guarantee you that this man saved my life with his skills as a surgeon. I recommend him to anyone suffering with back problems.

I also consulted with another surgeon at a well-known medical group in S CA After seeing both surgeons, I was so impressed with Dr Qureshi's technical knowledge, calm demeanor, presentation and reputation, that I met with him a second time with my husband present. I underwent my laminoplasty and stayed 2 nights at John Muir Medical in Wslnut Creek. The care there was phenomenal. Dr Qureshi is very respected by the staff there and they commented on his abilities and concern for his patients. My surgery went perfectly and my recovery is still moving forward. I only had to wear my c-spine collar for 12 days and my crsys showed perfect placement of the titanium plates/hinges. Thank you Dr Qureshi for all you do and the the manner in which you do it- I highly recommend him, along with his tram at John Muir. His PA, Kelsey, is a phenomenal practitioner as well. God bless you Dr Qureshi, Robin Diamond

His Medical Assistant, Joseph, is amazing and responds quickly to my messages. If you're searching for an orthopedic surgeon, I strongly encourage you to meet him rather than take a chance on an unproven doctor. Sadly, there are far too many stories of poor outcomes, rushed appointments and bad attitudes. Why take that chance?

I cannot thank Dr. Selina Shah enough for the incredible care she has provided to my mother. My mom…read morehas suffered from chronic knee pain for decades, and we had almost given up hope of her ever finding relief. We came to Dr. Shah for Hyaluronic Acid injections, and the results exceeded our wildest expectations. After decades of dealing with pain in both knees, my mom is finally pain-free. Dr. Shah was not only highly skilled and professional but also incredibly compassionate. She took the time to explain the procedure and made sure my mom was comfortable throughout. The difference is night and day--my mom is now walking without pain for the first time in many years. If you are looking for an doctor who truly cares and delivers results, look no further than Dr. Shah. I also want to extend a huge thank you to Michael, Hazel and the entire staff for being so warm, welcoming, and efficient during our visits. From the front desk to the medical assistants, the entire team made my mom feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we walked in.

It appears that Dr Counelis is a specialist who makes a diagnosis, often in an emergency situation,…read moreperforms surgery, and hands off the patient for post op treatment. He calls his office Bay Area Neurosciences, but that is him and an administrative assistant. I have little reason to question his technical competence. But he does not make post op rounds and his office does not answer messages or respond to any inquiries, such as a request for a referral for physical therapy. At least he did not in our case. If you get him when he is on duty when you go into the ER for a back problem, good luck. Aside from that, I would recommend finding a specialist who makes the time to manage your case.

If the staff gets the message to a person that WILL help you that is one thing. 50% of the time, things were ok IF the meds they prescribed were in stock and to the same pharmacy you have used for 30 years. I Called the clinic and told them I was in full blown sciatica on my right and partial on my left. My BP would not go below 200+/100+ and I'm on BP meds and never have a problem. I did stay fit UNTILL!!!! Under the care of these people I have had several heart attacks that they have never monitored in any way shape or form. They do NOT preform any type of physical triage. They might wait for you, if your walking very slow. No weight check, no BP check, No visual check. I was ask several times if there was anything they could do. The problem is my health has gotten so bad under their care I can barely get around from walking 2-3 miles a day. It took me 3 hours to get ready to see Dr. CHOW. (So you know you will seldom see him in any of his offices). I was late and called in, they once again didn't relay the message and it was the first time I had been LATE in over 5 years, other than a covid miss one time. They cancel me and told me I had to reschedule. I patted the guy up front on the arm and said, your fired and walked out. They ask me to wait and at that time I was cool. Then he shows me in. No temp, No BP, No weight check and ask me into a room. His plan was to threatening to stop my meds. SO YOU KNOW. That was a threat actionable by the medical board. NEW CDC guide lines prevent any doctor from abandoning a patient. His actions are actionable under Civil, County, State and DOJ guidelines. I'm 67 and it was clear he wanted to do me further harm with some type of punishment. He will be under investigation for his pay for pill attitude with no regard weather his treatment is affective. Who else is suppose to be cared for other than the patient? You will not get that type of treatment there. Because of his poor bedside manor and lack of skills to understand patients I would never recommend this Doctor to any one for any reason. He may be qualified on paper, but a paper does not mean you care. BTW IF the staff had a LEADER they would be fine. It is the doctor. He caused it an refuses to fix it.. 5 years he never changed. He was always bad.

He sent me directly to the hospital for testing, where it was confirmed that I had blood clots in both legs. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Feng's attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism. His willingness to listen caretully and go beyond the immediate reason for my visit made all the difference. I truly believe his actions may have saved my life, and I will always be thankful to have had him as my doctor.
