I honestly don't know how to thank Dr. Remi Ajiboye and his entire team for giving me my life back…read more Before I met Dr. Ajiboye, I had been suffering from back pain for several years. I tried everything I could think of--massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, radiofrequency treatment--but nothing gave me lasting relief. Eventually, I could barely walk for five minutes before the pain and numbness would travel down my leg. I felt like I couldn't live my normal life anymore. When Dr. Ajiboye reviewed my MRI, he explained that the degeneration in my spine was compressing the nerves. I already understood that my condition was unlikely to get better without surgery, but I was still very nervous about making that decision. What I appreciated most was that Dr. Ajiboye never pressured me. He explained my condition and simply told me that if I decided to have surgery, he would be there to help me. That gave me so much confidence in him. The most incredible moment was after my surgery. The physical therapist helped me get up and walk, and I remember thinking, "Wait... where did my pain go?" After living with that pain for years, being able to walk without it was almost unbelievable. It has now been more than a year since my surgery, and I can happily say that I can walk, travel, and go sightseeing comfortably again.

For nearly a decade, I lived with worsening back stiffness and soreness, assuming it was just part…read moreof aging. After a simple back stretch caused my legs to go numb, I knew something was seriously wrong. From my first consultation, Dr. Remi Ajiboye impressed me with his thorough evaluation and compassionate approach. He carefully reviewed my history, explained my MRI and X-ray findings, answered all my questions, and discussed every treatment option without ever pressuring me into surgery. My surgery was complex, requiring replacement of two discs and a vertebra, removal of damaged bone, and additional stabilization from L4-L5 to S1. Although my recovery was complicated by sepsis and nearly a month in the hospital, Dr. Ajiboye remained deeply involved in my care. He visited me regularly, monitored my healing, evaluated my posture and walking, and kept both my husband and me informed every step of the way. Dr. Ajiboye is an exceptionally skilled surgeon who is also compassionate, respectful, and genuinely dedicated to his patients. His expertise and commitment gave me confidence throughout a very difficult journey. I highly recommend Dr. Remi Ajiboye to anyone needing spine surgery or specialized back care.

We'll start with the office. Quick responses, easy scheduling, short wait times for appointments, always seen on time. Great communication. Then the doctor. It had been a years long journey of pain and helplessness, and within a minute of talking to him, I felt completely reassured that things were finally about to get better. He told me I was a great candidate for surgery, but of course you want to exhaust all other options first so he sent me to pain management and PT. The referrals went through quickly and when those options were tried and failed, he brought me back in and scheduled the surgery for one month out. From then on, I had a contact in the office who was always available to answer questions about prep and timelines and post op, etc. My insurance wanted to put me in a crap hospital, and he personally went to bat with them and convinced them to cover the surgery at one of the best hospitals in the state. The surgery was executed to perfection. It was a big one. Eight hours of which could only be described as a reconstruction of my spine.They had me up and walking immediately after the surgery, (which I have absolutely no recollection of), but I spent five days in the hospital, walking around more and more each day. They sent me home in a big back brace. I stayed with family for two nights and approximately one week after the surgery I was back home living on my own. Now I'm a month out and he just cleared me to resume full activity and to start PT. Oh, and I should probably mention that the surgery worked! All my pain is gone! I've got the spine of an 18 year old! Not only that but the incision (which was massive. Probably close to 2 feet long) is totally healed. There's almost no sign of it. I was expecting (maybe hoping, yeah, I'm that kind of guy) to have a nice juicy scar, but it's gonna heal up like nothing ever happened. I was in intense, chronic pain for years and it's gone! I had a couple follow ups with the office and now I'm about to go into PT and this year's long journey is about to come to an end. Thanks to Dr Nagasawa.

Second chance at life…read more I've never experienced so much gratitude, love, and appreciation in my life. I lived with two years of debilitating nerve impingement at L4-L5. I was already at the lowest point of my life emotionally, and fitness was all I had to process my pain. As the nerve damage worsened, I tried **three epidurals** -- only one helped. I lost my insurance and couldn't afford surgery. For six months, I woke up every day with intense nerve pain, cramping, and ankle lock-up. I would fall to the floor in tears just trying to get out of bed. It stripped away my confidence and made me question everything. I was terrified of spine surgery. My sister has polio and is paralyzed in both legs -- so I feared what could go wrong. But when I finally got insurance back, I chose Dr. Saadat at [Cedars-Sinai](https://www.cedars-sinai.org) and [Orange County Orthopedic Institute](https://orangecountyorthopedic.com). He had just had a baby, but **he made time for me**. He listened. He understood. His team treated me with compassion and professionalism from the start. I sent a video to show him the pain I was living with -- and he didn't ignore it. He called me. He met me. He **scheduled me fast**. I was scared, but I was also **shown grace**. The surgery went beautifully. **My nerve pain is gone.** I still have some healing to do -- back soreness and incision pain -- but it's improving **little by little every day**. This experience taught me how much pain the elderly and disabled live with. It gave me a new understanding of what it means to suffer -- and to heal. And it reminded me that life is a gift. I have a great respect for doctors. I now have a tremendous understanding of what it takes to be one of the best doctors in the world. When I look at the way Dr. Saadat takes care of his patients and his business, it makes me ask myself: *"What have I done with my life?" I could do so much more. Much love and always respect. #thepoet. With gratitude, Kabir Singh https://www.kabirsvoice.com

I saw many surgeons for my cervical spine issues. The who's who of spine surgery in LA. All of them…read morewere impressive and at the top of their field. But even among this elite group, Dr. Ehsan Saadat stood out as the one doctor who I would entrust with my spine, and by extension my life and the future of my children, above everyone else. As a scientist myself, I know a remarkable and detail-oriented mind when I see one, and Dr. Saadat is as good at it gets. My case was not straightforward: I saw 6 different and distinguished spine surgeons and got almost as many different opinions on what to do. Dr. Saadat spent a lot of time thinking through my case, he referenced the latest scientific evidence, and he consulted his trusted colleagues on my behalf to double check his own judgement. He also spent a lot of time emailing back and forth with me to discuss the pros and cons of various approaches rigorously, patiently, and honestly. On a human level, It became clear pretty early that Dr Saadat is caring and generous with his time and attention. I can imagine that when you do something as demanding as spine surgery for a living, day in and day out, then no matter your level of empathy it becomes easy to forget that what is routine to you can be one of the most scary and nerve-wracking experiences for each of your patients. Not Dr. Saadat; he treated my case with the same level of thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and meticulous planning that one would usually reserve for their own family. I felt that my spine is in good hands all throughout the process. Dr. Saadat is also a man of great integrity. The surgery we ended up going with is far from the most expensive for my condition, but it was the best tradeoff between risk and reward. He talked me out of a more expensive surgery --- which is something he also specializes in ---- because he believed something simpler is a better risk/reward tradeoff for me, despite it being a close call. He based this on evidence, data, sound judgement, and consultation with trusted colleagues. That's the kind of honesty, care, and impartiality you want in your corner. Leading up to surgery, Dr. Saadat made the time to sit down with me and explain in detail what he was planning to do. He had a well-thought out answer to every question I asked, and I asked many as I had spent the past two months reading and watching everything I can find related to my spine condition. It became clear that he left no stone unturned in preparing his team for my surgery, and making sure I'm comfortable with everything he planned to do in there. He explained how he will use every modality of Neuro monitoring available, how he would decide which size and angle of implant he would use based on what he finds when he goes in there, and many other details. Best of all, he assembled a team in place that would be able to handle every contingency, and he told me about them. Notably, he explained how he will be joined by an exceptional neurosurgeon colleague in the operating room; this turned out to be a prescient judgement call, as they discovered dangerous adhesions to the covering of my spinal cord once they opened me up, a grave challenge that Dr. Saadat's all-star team overcame with precision. Without Dr. Saadat's meticulous preparation, his refusal to leave anything to chance, and his dedication to leaving no stone unturned for the benefit of his patients, I might have been left permanently disabled or worse. I am thankful I chose someone who was able to keep me safe, give me my life back, and safeguard for my children their father. On surgery day, I experienced no hardships. The last thing I remember before surgery was joking around with the anaesthesia team as they injected something in my IV, and the next moment I was talking to Dr. Saadat as he was checking my strength after surgery while I told him how I was feeling remarkably little pain. I was released 24 hours later after staying overnight for observation, and left the hospital virtually pain free feeling as if nothing happened, having to consciously remind myself to take it easy. Once all was said and done, my surgical outcome has been great, and I'm continuing to recover nicely with all my pain and symptoms seemingly a thing of the past. Dr. Saadat has been with me every step of the way, generous with his time and his attention as always. I couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you Dr. Saadat for the care and attention you showed me, for leaving no stone unturned to keep me safe, and for your sage and generous guidance throughout this difficult time.

What stood out to me the most was not only his knowledge and experience, but also his humanity and compassion. At the time, back in 2024, I was also going through breast cancer, which made everything even more overwhelming. Dr. Mirhashemi gave me hope and reminded me that I had the strength to overcome whatever I needed to face. I had very large fibroids around and inside my uterus, and unfortunately, in my case, the entire uterus needed to be removed. I also made the personal decision to have my ovaries removed to help avoid potential future concerns related to cancer. I was 44 at the time, and for me, it was the decision that made the most sense. I will never forget the day of my surgery. Dr. Mirhashemi gave me a big hug before the procedure and gave me exactly the strength and reassurance I needed in that moment. That meant more to me than he probably realizes. He also discovered I had stage III endometriosis in my appendix the day of the surgery and he removed which I APPRECIATE!!! I wanted to write this review because he is truly an excellent and very knowledgeable doctor who made me feel safe during one of the most difficult times of my life. If you are considering Dr. Mirhashemi, don't think twice. He is one of the best doctors I have encountered throughout my entire medical journey. Thank you so much, Dr. Mirhashemi, for everything you did for me. I will always appreciate your kindness, compassion, and care. May GOD bless you always!

Dr. Mobin, I am…read morewriting to formally express my serious concerns regarding the care I received following my surgery a few months ago, as well as the billing practices associated with it. Since the procedure, I continue to experience unresolved issues, yet I have not felt a meaningful level of follow-up care, support, or accountability from your office. This is extremely concerning given the nature of the surgery and the expectations set beforehand. Additionally, I am deeply troubled by the financial structure of this arrangement. My bill has reached over seven figures, which I find excessive and difficult to justify. I was also informed that my insurance would not be accepted, and instead, a lien would be placed against my case. This approach raises serious concerns about whether financial considerations are being prioritized over patient care. From my perspective, the current situation feels one-sided and unfair--especially as I am still dealing with ongoing medical issues while being faced with an extraordinarily high financial burden. I am requesting: * A clear and detailed breakdown of all charges * An explanation of the billing structure and lien process * A plan for addressing my ongoing medical concerns I expect a prompt and transparent response. I hope we can resolve these issues in a professional and fair manner. Hezi
