Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best doctor in Orange County
I recently had an anterior lumbar fusion surgery with Dr. Ali Najafi and he was amazing from the beginning to the end. He has amazing bedside manner and took the time to answer all my questions before the surgery. He is extremely skilled and the surgery and recovery have been great. He is always available for questions and I recommend anyone who needs this surgery to visit him a he makes an uncomfortable surgery so much better!

Dr. Najafi did a C7 through C5 fusion on my neck through workman's comp. But he didn't remove the 3 bone spurs Growing into my spine. So now I am 15 months from the 1st surgery, I'm going back under the knife to remove the bone spursAnd all the hardware has to be removed which makes it a tricky operation. Avoid Dr. Najafi

I saw Dr. Najafi about severe stenosis in my back and pain down my legs. He explained the problem and the procedure very well. After my operation I am pain free. I have had no problems at all post-op and I highly recommend him.

I was very worried about the lower back procedure I had to go through as I had heard many stories of your back never fully being the same after gettting surgery. Dr. Najafi was very caring in explaining all of the steps needed to a full recovery, and the pain from my lower back and the accident I had is 90% fully gone already. Couldn't be happier!
