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.

Staff doesn't call back
I found Dr. Mina to be great, but cannot get her support staff to call me back. Being in a lot of pain and not being able to get a hold of anyone is very frustrating. Will be looking for another doctor.

OUTSTANDING! Performed major spinal surgery.
Clearly described what my issues were and how they could be repaired. I had amazing care before, during my hospital stay and after.The best way to sum up my review is that every time I see her I refer to her as “my hero” .

Simply the Best
Dr. Mina has operated on my spine twice in two different areas and has eliminated severe pain in my back. She listens to you and explains the procedure required to bring you relief. I have never met a more compassionate doctor that genuinely cares for you. Five stars is not enough to indicate how exceptional she is.

Listens and takes her time explaining
I switched to Dr Mina after seeing an orthopedic surgeon who didn’t believe I was in as much pain as I said. Dr Mina took new xrays and patiently explained what she saw. She listened carefully and fully answered all my questions. She explained the probable progression of my osteoporosis and had me fitted for a back brace right then in her office, with physical therapy to follow in 3 months. Nothing invasive yet, which is great. But when and if the need arises, I trust her completely.

Dr Mina is an excellent physician, and what a great bedside manner. She tells you everything and answers all the questions. She takes her time with her patients and makes sure they understand. She performed a fusion on my back - prior I could not walk without my leg going numb, now numbness has disappeared.

I went to Dr. Mina after a different group treated me with physical therapy for 7 months. They never showed me my Xrays. Dr. Mina saw me and immediately addressed my concerns & condition and let me know I had 3 discs pressing my spinal cord. She performed surgery to replace those discs and gave me a much better quality of life. She also greatly helped my father.

Fabulous
I would give Dr Mina more stars if I could! I waited a long time to get to see her but absolutely worth the wait. She is extremely attentive, professional and kind. She listened to me and answered every single one of my (many) questions. The whole experience of my appointment from check in, xrays and consultation was top notch. Would highly recommend Dr. Mina and the whole staff!

Dr. Mina is not only a fantastic surgeon but is also a wonderful, caring person. She has performed 3 of my 4 cervical surgeries and wouldn’t be were I am physically if she wasn’t the person she is! She is also very knowledgeable and thorough, taking time to explain everything needed about the problem you have. Thank you Dr. Mina??

After seeing 4 other neurosurgeons and being told nothing could be done, I saw Dr Mina. She explained in depth what she could do to help ease my pain. After surgery I awoke with no pain. 20 months later I’m still doing great. She did tell me due to my degenerative disc disease I would most likely need surgery above the area she just did. I would highly recommend Dr Mina!
