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.

Said I might feel fine the day after intercept.
1. One week later, I am in worse pain. Is this typical? Had to consult PCP for treatment ice, heat.2. I couldn't rest long in recovery as they needed the bed to get more patients in. One nurse didn't even know where supplies were located.3. No meds were given in recovery resulting in a 10 pain when I got home. Do this is in a hospital.4. While perhaps technically good? has no bedside manner. A few moments of pre or post surgical counseling would have been helpful.5. Many bandages left on my back? Looked at my back hours later and paged MD and told to rip them off. I did not know what they were. Careless at best. How do I know? They were some kind of Leeds left on they were in such a hurry.6. It is a free standing factory. One nurse had knowledge.

Neck and Back
I had not seen Dr. Moustafi since 2019 after he had done 4 ablations for my neck pain, which is no longer a problem. I went to him today for back pain. He is very understanding and will try different methods to avoid surgery. He explained everything's to my understanding.Staff is very personable.I highly recommend him.nsf

Rushed appointment, no results
I met with 3 different spine/nerve specialists trying to get help with a herniated cervical disc. Long story short--I got positive results from none of them, and Dr. Mostoufi at NE Spine Care in Cambridge was definitely the least helpful. He rushed though a 15 min. appt. that cost $268.48 even though it only involved talking--no labs, imaging, etc. I felt like I'd been scammed. In the end, I found a good chiropractor and physical therapist team and am now ~80% recovered after 2 months without the injections or surgery the specialists all recommended.

I have been a patient of Doctor Mostoufi's for a number of years now. This gentleman is very well educated and knows exactly what he's doing when keeping pain at bay is an issue. I know that I will be a patient of Ali's for many years to come and it puts me at ease knowing that Dr Mostoufi will be there for me.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mostoufi for many years. He is a professional, compassionate, caring physician who shows true interest in his patients. From the moment an appointment is made to the completion of your office visit or procedure, his staff is professional and accommodating. He is always available, through office staff, to answer questions you have about your care. He offers his patients many ways to reduce pain and live a fuller life. Dr. Mostoufi is the Rolls Royce of physiatrists!

“Dr. Mostoufi is a miracle worker! With my degenerative disc disease, I would have episodes with my neck lasting for over 2 weeks at a time. I couldn’t do anything except lay in bed in extreme agony with sharp shooting pain from my neck and scapula and continuing down to my arm and hands. For more than a decade I have been able to stay relatively pain free and surgery free thanks to the help of Dr. Mostoufi and his amazing team of people. I have been able to enjoy my quality of life

Bellevue, WA – Feb 02, 2017

I have been seeing Dr Mostoufi for about one year. Initially, I was very excited to have met a doctor who really seemed interested in my well being and finding a source and cure for my pain. However, things changed early this past Spring (2016) when he abruptly announced that he was no longer going to be prescribing medications or seeing patients on an on-going basis. With no help or assistance in placing me in the care of another pain doctor, I've been abondoned. Did he lose his license???
