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.

I typically don’t leave reviews due to the differences in medical expertise, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Dr. Desh Sahni. What he called a "surgery" was nothing more than a needle inserted into my back, and it cost over $40,000. Despite the high cost, I am still dealing with the same pain and issues I had before. When I mentioned this to him during my follow-up appointment, his response was, "I cannot help you." I’m now in the process of seeking treatment from a qualified surgeon and starting the entire process again. I strongly caution anyone considering Dr. Sahni for treatment based on my experience.

Embraced with concern about my symptoms from the first visit. Lumbar surgery L4 to L5 minimally invasive with no pain at the 8 week mark. Very satisfied with not only the care...but the outcome...still recovering but optimistic I will be able to have a quantity of life I have not had in quite a while. Very easy to contact and speak to as well. Thank you Dr. Sahni!

Dr. Sahni treated my herniated disc in my neck. I was referred to him by my pain doctor and I am very happy with the treatment received. Dr. Sahni performed ACDF surgery on me and he took his time with several bone spurs in my spinal cord. If you are facing any kind of spine surgery, please consider him for your surgery needs.

We were referred to Dr. Sahni because my previous doctor told me to give him a try. I have been living with a bad back for 30 years. 2 weeks ago I had surgery and ever since then, I have been getting better and better every day. Dr. Sahni was able to do exactly what he said he would do. Other doctors either weren't willing to try or tried things that didn't work. What amazes me is how fast my recovery has been.

The staff was very friendly and pleasant, they cared about my health and recovery. They were very knowledgeable about the process and procedures performed. The staff was willing to take the time to educate you on the process. I was nervous about surgery but it was a success. My pain level was a 6-7 and the surgery lowered it down to a 2/10 and even no pain at all. I recovered in about 3 days. The surgery was a complete success and I would recommend it to anybody who needs it.

I'm 73 years old and I hurt my lower back drastically. I'm not sure how I did, but I couldn't walk or move or anything. The pain started at my lower back and went down to my left leg. I was really desperate because of the pain and I was afraid because I live alone. I thought my life was over. He told me that he could operate on me right away. I was worried about the surgery because it was on my spine, but I was more afraid of what would happen if I didn't have the surgery. I proceeded with the surgery and was surprised because I felt no pain afterwards. Dr. Sahni is a miracle man and I feel so blessed.

My husband is a patient of Dr. Sahni. We were not only treated with professionalism, but warmth and kindness. Dr Sahni is a doctor who listens to your problem and shows that he’s genuinely concerned. He makes sure you understand what he’s doing concerning your case. My husband had back surgery to correct his spinal problem. He’s well pleased with the operation! He had two previous back surgeries before meeting Dr. Sahni, but this surgery was less invasive and less painful! He says if the ratings went higher he would choose a higher rating!

I have to thank Dr Sahni with all my heart for his expertise and knowledge working on my daughters neck surgery. Due to that part of her pain, she is now pain free. One down and 2 to do. As for me. He knew exactly what to do for me and so far it is working wonderfully. We feel so grateful we were referred to Dr Sahni. One more mention. He has a great staff and he has the most delightful wife who all but runs his office. What a kind lady she is. Always there when needed. And we needed her plenty after Christines surgery. Thank you Dr and Mrs D. Sahni for all your caring and expert care.
