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.

Caring Consultation

Dr. Ehsan Saadat was incredibly helpful in consulting with me about a back issue. Despite being out of state, he went out of his way to clearly explain my condition, outline my options, and guide me in making informed decisions. I also appreciated his cautious and thoughtful approach throughout the process. Highly recommend Dr. Saadat for anyone seeking expertise and compassionate care.

THE BEST
I had a three cervical disc replacement with Dr Saadat. He and his office are the best. he was with me every step of the way whether it was phone calls on the weekend checking in on me or taking our phone call on a Sunday. He prepared me extremely well for the surgery and for the aftermath. He goes above and beyond, as does his office. His caring and compassionate nature is by far above the norm. I interviewed five doctors and knew immediately when I met him that he was the right guy for me. I highly recommend him. It is no wonder he is one of the top in the nation.

Dr. Ehsan Saadat, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
Since 8/21 I'd suffered a failed laminectomy followed by a spinal fusion that had left me disabled. I was seeing a neurologist for my back, but when my insurance changed, I had to find a new surgeon. I was already scheduled to meet Dr Saadat for neck issues. During our meeting I mentioned the spinal fusion and all the issues I was having. He was genuinely interested in what I was saying, asked a ton of questions, ran some tests, MRIs. After discussion, I opted for surgery. I was blown away with how amazing he and his staff were. He called me the night before surgery to answer any questions; his staff gave me instructions to follow night before surgery. After surgery, I received a 10 pg printout for post care, meds prescribed (and ready at next door pharmacy). Dr Saadat listens intently, warmly cares for his patients, and his bedside manner is unrivaled! Plus, he's an excellent surgeon!I highly recommend Dr Saadat! I'm lucky I found him!

Complete spinal fusion surgery
Dr. Saadat is one of the top 2 spine surgeon's in L.A., the other is Dr. Alexander Tuchman. After my wife broke her back at T9 & had it missed diagnosed at the local ER it ultimately turned into severe scoliosis and Dr. Saadat and Dr. Tuchman had to perform a complete spinal fusion, from C2 to L51, which they performed brilliantly, true artist's!Simply the BEST! An extremely complex surgery that could only be done by the best and it was to perfection! She's 4mo. post op and doing fantastic as exspected! How would I describe Dr Saadat & Dr. Tuchman, there are no better! They are artist's at what the do!They are simply, THE BEST in L.A.I have yet to meet another Dr. In L.A. that would even attempt to perform my Wife's surgery. It was that complex for most out there but not to Dr. Saadat & Dr. Tuchman who performed it briliantly and with GREAT SECCESS, 100%! I reccomend them to any and all with heartfelt gratitude for what they have done for my wife and I! They are priceless!

Cervical pain
Ehsan Saadat, M.D. is PERFECTION!I was so lucky to have found Dr. Saadat. Hands down is the BEST surgeon ever. In many ways, Dr. Saadat is a surgeon that really cares about his patients and treats you with genuine care. His after care is EXCELLENT!Not only is he a great surgeon but he can fix other doctors mistakes. Here’s my story:After suffering from excruciating pain for the last 10 years, I found a surgeon in the Valley who did a Spinal Fusion on my neck. I knew right after surgery that something was not right because I felt worse than before the surgery. They blew me off! Their office only allowed me to see the nurse practitioner who told me (after I insisting for the last year to get an updated MRI) that it was only inflammation and that the surgery had healed properly and everything was fine). I knew everything was not fine, I just didn’t know what was wrong. I felt so helpless and lost.I found Dr. Saadat and was very impressed with my first visit because he listene

Conscientiousness personified
Dr. Saadat is actually my wife's doctor. When an MRI of my lumbar region showed something requiring follow up, reached out to his office as he had inspired a lot of trust in my wife . Within a couple of days, I had a tele-health call where he suggested that I needed to see a neurosurgeon. Then he took it upon himself to discuss the MRI with a colleague in the Cedars Sinai neurology department, and I received a follow up email from him late Sunday night telling me that he had discussed it with his colleague and I should follow up with him. If only all our physicians could have such a service mindset. Thank you.

I had the most pleasant experience with doctor Saadat. I had a prior surgery in France with another doctor ( discectomy L4/L5), and my pain was worse after, so I considered to go see another doctor. I came to Los Angeles and I've been highly recommended to meet him to explain him my problem. I was literally living with chronical pain and couldn't stand up more than 5min without that horrible sciatica pain going from my back to my foot. I can frankly say that meeting him was the best decision I have ever made! First of all Dr Saadat, is the most pleasant surgeon I ve met so far ( and I met a lot of them), he is friendly with a very caring attitude, he has also been able to answer all the questions I had. And above all, I am finally pain free after years of daily pain! I am 3 weeks post surgery now, dr Saadat did a revision surgery ( discectomy L4/L5, L5/S1) and I walk a lot every day without pain!

I am a Captain with a local Fire Department in the San Fernando Valley. Dr. Saadat treated me for an infected elbow that required surgery after a fall off a fire engine. Dr. Saadat was very professional. Prior to the surgery he explained the procedure fully to me in simple terms that made me feel at ease. His daily follow ups were never rushed and he always asked for my concerns in regards to how I was progressing. Dr. Saadat has an outstanding bed side manner that I appreciated.

He seriously is the best! I’m 31 years old, recently had an ORIF of the Right ankle. He’s very attentive to my needs and took the time to answer all my questions. Never felt rush through any of my appointments. When it came to going back to work, I needed adjustments made on my doctor’s note. I was able to have it redone and fax to the office, same day. The staff is great and friendly. I actually look forward to my appointments with them.

After having 2 back surgeries, Dr. Saadat was recommended to me by a friend. After meeting with Dr. Saadat he was very thorough and professional compared to the other Doctors. He came up with the best plan to get me back to a pain free life! After the surgery, he was at the Hospital to check on me every Day, and even came in on Easter Sunday. I would highly recommend Dr. Saadat. He is very reliable. First Dr. to give me his cell phone number telling me to call Him if I need anything.

I had disc disease pluse a vertebra was off to one side on a nerve and a cyst was on another. I was in real pain for 8 months, it took my life from me. I could only sit on my bed, everything else hurt. I had several dr.s say it was age, just live with it. None suggested a surgen. Then I found Dr. Saadat. His confidence, professionalism, and willingness to answer any question immediately put my fears to rest. I am 4 weeks post OP and recovered 70%. Thank you Dr. for giving me my life back.

Dr Saadat is a PRIME EXAMPLE of an EXCELLENT Doctor ! I had a laminoplasty back in December of 2017. Right away when I met him, I knew I could trust him, which was extremely important to me. He explained my procedure in detail & made me feel at ease about my decision to have the surgery. I was in excruciating pain before the surgery, & now 7 months post opt, with therapy...I’m feeling way better than I ever expected. If you are considering having an laminoplasty, Dr Saadat is your choice!!

I was suffering from spinal stenosis for years. My pain would go down my legs and feet and would get numb. I was sent to Dr. Saadat for evaluation. He suggested I get a back surgery. I was very scarred because people I new who had that surgery were not doing well after surgery. I decided to have the surgery by Dr. Saadat. I am now 3 months post-op and I feel very well. I do not have pain anymore and returned to work and doing excellent. Dr. Saadat is very good and caring. I recommend him

Dr. Saadat was assigned to me when I needed emergency surgery on my left femur after a bicycle accident. I was not given a choice of physicians because I was in an unfamiliary hospital and could not reach out to my regular doctor for a surgical referral. I was glad it worked out as it did. Dr. Saadat did a great job inserting a titanium rod tied to my hip and has followed up in a caring way throughout the healing process. I would say that his expertise and bedside manner have both been great

After dealing with unbearable sciatica nerve pain for for more than 6 months, and having gone through countless sessions of chiropractic care, acupuncturist, and cortisone shots in the spine, dr Saadat was able to go in with a microscope and perform a successful microdiscectomy. I am now pain free, and even though I’m still recovering, cause it’s only been 4 weeks, it feels good being able to participate in my kids daily routine.

I have suffered with spinal stenosis & degenerative disk disease for 32 years. in the mid 1990s I had two lumbar laminectomies that were moderately successful. In 2017 my condition suddenly worsened. A renowned neuro-surgeon told me that corrective surgery was too risky and referred me to Dr Saadat. On my first visit with Dr Saadat, I knew that I had the right doctor. He immediately filled me with hope. He expedited a surgery date. I am 3 weeks post-surgery and have no pain. WONDERFUL DOCTOR!!
