    Healthy retirement after surgery!

    Dear Dr. Rasouli, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to you and your extraordinary team for the outstanding care I recently received. In the weeks leading up to my surgeries, I carried a great deal of fear and pain, both physically and emotionally. From the very beginning, you provided reassurance through your calm confidence, thoughtful explanations, and exceptional expertise. Today, as I continue to recover and do well, I know this positive outcome is a direct result of your remarkable skill and dedication as a surgeon. Equally important, I want to acknowledge the compassion and professionalism shown by your nursing team along with the entire office and clinical staff. Ashley, Hector, Liz, Hannah, and every member of your team treated me with kindness, patience, and respect throughout multiple communication events. They responded quickly to my questions and concerns, never making me feel like a burden, and they guided me through every step of this process with empathy and understanding. Their support brought me tremendous comfort at a time when I needed it most. It is rare to encounter a medical team that combines such a high level of technical expertise with such genuine compassion. The collaboration between you and your staff made an experience that was once frightening into one that I now look back on with gratitude and relief. Please know that I will always remember the care I received under your guidance, and I am sincerely thankful for the healing and peace of mind you have given me. With heartfelt appreciation, Steve Pagani

    Dr. Rasouli put the artificial disc at the bottom of all the other metal. But many many doctors won't do that surgery due to its location.

    After having a four level surgery in 2019 by a different surgeon, I started getting terrible nerve pain again. I needed another cervical surgery, and it sounded very major. Lots more fusing. I heard about dr. Rasouli from someone who had a very successful surgery. The short story is that Dr. Rasouli was able to give me an artificial disc. The surgery took 45 minutes and I went home. I'm healed and happy. He is kind and very transparent. Cedars-Sinai has a wonderful , caring staff..

    My new spine!

    Ask the Community - Rasouli Spine

    I have Medicare and I am with senior advantage at Kaiser. During open enrollment for medical plans in the fall what insurance should I get so that Dr. Rasouli can see me for an appointment?

    Dr Rasouli doesn’t take Medicare, but he does accept Blue Shields. His coworker, Dr Sodha, does accept Medicare. They work closely together.

    I don't think I need surgery but I do need my back looked at by a specialist according to my general. I understand Dr. Rasouli has great reviews as a surgeon; I'm wondering if he ever recommends non-surgical treatment?

    We would be happy to help you. Not all spinal problems require surgery. In fact, our initial approach in most cases is nonoperative intervention. This includes some of the latest techniques in interventional pain management such as facet blocks,…

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.

    I'm here looking for orthopedic surgeons for my girlfriend who needs her shoulder looked at, and I…read morerun across spine surgeons. That jarred my memory... Dr. Todd Lanman is my go-to for all things spine. I hadn't seen him in years, because he does amazing work of course! So this prompted me to type a well deserved review. I've had two spine surgeries with Todd. The first was my neck and it couldn't have gone better. Recovery was quick. Todd's bedside manner was on point and I appreciate his follow ups and recovery process. The second surgery was evasive involving my lower spine and tailbone and, I chose the double whammy, my neck as well. Recovery was tough and long, but under the care of Todd and several years later, not only did he stop the pain, he gave me my life back. Todd is the reason why my kids have their active dad to do stuff with. Todd is the reason why I have progressed at work and at the top of my game. I lift, run, snow ski, yoga, do whatever my kids throw at me, AND get a good night's sleep at the end of the day. I'm happy! I'm healthy! I owe it all to Todd! Todd my man, you literally saved my life. THANK YOU!! As for people complaining about the money issues or the office personnel.... I never had a problem. The office staff is cool. No problems at all. The bottom line though, who's gonna be in that operating room? You think the office staff will, or will the best spine surgeon you could ever find in the nation be there? That's right! TODD will be there along with the best medical help Cedars can provide! Worried about money?? Can you put a price on your spine, you're quality of life, or life itself?? Heck no! You get what you pay for, and when you make the decision to make Dr. Lanman your spine surgeon, it'll be WORTH EVERY PENNY! A million thanks Todd! Love you bro!

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.

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
