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.

Do not trust him. He wants to do unnecessary surgery.

Miserable Experience
I had high hopes after seeing Dr. Salehi. We had agreed upon surgery. That's when things went really badly for me. The scheduler for his office has failed on numerous occassions to simply do her job. She failed to communicate to the pre-surgery testing center which caused me to have to wait 2 hours and then she didn't manage the insurance approval so the evening before surgery we had no idea if they would approve it. The day of surgery they continued to ask me to wait as they tried to fix the schedulers mistakes but alas it was tool late. I recommend any other spine surgery center than this one. What a miserable experience.

Three separate successful spine surgeries..
For several years I needed back surgery, I was understandably apprehensive about the prospect of such a complex and potentially risky procedure. I chose my neurosurgeon because of his exceptional reputation and extensive experience in the field. I wanted neurosurgeon that is experience performing delicate spinal surgeries with a proven track record of success and was well-respected among his peers. My surgeon also took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions, providing me with the reassurance and confidence I needed to proceed with the surgery. Thanks to his skill and care, my three separate surgeries each were successful, also worried about the recovery process and how long it would take. To ease my anxiety before surgery , I spoke with my doctor about the risks and benefits of the surgery and asked a lot of questions. Finally, I made sure to take care of myself before and after the surgery and most importantly I followed the doctors instruction

Back Surgery
Dr Salehi, walked me through everything. Was very professional, and told me what to expect. After my back surgery the next day he checked on me by phone, I was shocked he took the time to call me. Well needless to say my back surgery went well. Now I'm doing great no pain and feel 100% back to normal. Thanks Dr Salehi

Dr Salehi performed a cervical spinal fusion for me 8 weeks ago. Most of my symptoms were gone when I woke up from the surgery. Discomfort afterwards must much less than I expected. Pain and numbness I had benn living with for years is gone. A very professional and dedicated surgeon. My friends and family are all amazed at how well I’m doing after such a short time. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Fantastic, caring and knowledgeable surgeon with best "bedside manner" ever. Could explain things so I could easily understand and make an informed decision. Excellent staff who are personable and supportive. Best outcome ever expected for surgery on 3 discs in neck.

Outstanding spine surgeon! I recently had lumbar spine surgery with Dr Salehi and found him to be kind, attentive and outstanding in his care. I had a quick and relatively pain free recovery and am on my road to recovery!
