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.

Unsuccessful Surgery
Dr Mekail did a cervical spinal fusion on me in 2016 that never fused. I have hardware that is falling out. Ive been in constant pain. Ive been to specialist, there isnt a doctor that will fix the problem as it is far to risky I could end up with a feeding tube. Think twice about a surgery performed by him

Dr Mekhail is great! Had surgery with a different surgeon over a year ago. It did not help. Came to Dr Mekhail for a third opinion, when the other 2 said they couldn't see anything that could be causing my pain. Dr Mekhail did perform a surgery that helped immensely. I am sorry that I did not come to see him first. I highly recommend him!

I have been struggling with Sciatica for a number of years, while experiencing the worse pain/discomfort in my entire life for a number of months prior to having Dr. Mekhail performing the microdiscectomy procedure between my L4-L5 vertibrea due to a bulged/herniated disc pressing on the nerve. It got to the point that I was having to use a wheelchair to get around prior to having the procedure and getting worse every day. My appointment with Dr. Mekhail was the best thing that could have happened to me, as he had ensured that the microdiscectomy procedure was needed in my case. Once the out-patient procedure was completed, I was able to stand up straight without pain and without any discomfort. I truly appreciate how Dr. Mekhail was able to perform this procedure with confidence in his ability as well as his vast knowledge of the spine! I would invite anyone that has any discomfort form the back to make a consultation appointment with Dr. Mekhail at Parkview Orthopaedic Group!

100% pain relief. If I had known from day 1 what I know now, I would have seen the doctor of day 1 of pain, had the MRI on day 2 and the surgery on day 3.

I would like to thanks Dr Mekhail and the entire team. They were so wonderful. I went in to visit them with 2 herniated discs. I was in terrible pain. Dr Mekhail and his staff were so great at getting tests and e-xrays read and putting a plan of action into place. 2 weeks later I was scheduled for surgery. I felt instant relief when I woke up from surgery. I felt like a new man. If you are on the fence weather or not to get a surgery similar to mine, i don't know what you are waiting for. You will be so happy almost instantly. This is a great Dr surrounded by a great support staff. Thanks for fixing me.

Dr mekhhail changed my life for the better. When I first went to see him I was in so much pain I could not lift my grand babies get up of the floor and I had pain down my legs. He is very passionate about helping people and takes the time to explain your options and helps you along the way. His NP Jim Henna is excellent

Dr. Mekhail honestly changed my life for the better. Before my surgery for my herniated disc, I was living in constant pain with shooting pain down my right leg. Since the surgery, I feel good as new and am living a new life pain-free. I am able to live a much better life because of him and for that I will always be grateful for the new life he gave me.

I have been seeing Dr. Mekhail for my chronic back issues for five years. At every single appointment, he makes sure I am well-equipped with information regarding my spinal issues as well as ways to fix them. I can tell that Dr. Mekhail really cares about his patients and he has always helped me to choose what solution is right for me and my pain, be it surgical or non-surgical. His associate, Jim Hanna, is also an amazing nurse practitioner and has been just as wonderful and informative as him during appointments. Dr. Mekhail is one of the best doctors I have ever been to.

Dr. Mekhail and his staff are incredible. From the first appointment to the last I was treated with respect and always greated with friendly faces in a clean and professional environment. Dr. Mekhail spent time explaining every step of the process and made me feel comfortable with whatever choice I made. He guided me through the entire recovery and didn’t pressure me to go right back to work. I would recommend Dr. Mekhail to anyone facing the difficult decision of spinal surgery.

Dr. Mekhail is an excellently skilled surgeon who I would recommend highly over and over again. I have undergone two spinal surgeries with him, cervical and lumbar and he relieved me of all my pain. I am forever grateful for him and cannot thank him enough. He and his staff are patient, kind, and extremely thorough in all they do. I consider myself extremely luck to have found them and tell everyone he is the one to see, he can and will help you.

I had major back surgery in March of 2020, care of Dr. Mekhail in hospital was great. Never in rush,answered all questions and kept myself and family well informed. After surgery vists during virus of 2020 was done very professionally done yet again in no rush, took time to explain what to expect. As for surgery pain is about 99.9% gone. Just what Dr. Mekhail stated before surgery has happened in the positive way. Bottom line...THANK YOU DR. MEKHAIL FOR TAKING CARE OF ME.
