The most knowledgeable and confident surgeon in his field. His staff members are kind, friendly, caring and professional, the same mirror image of him. I was referred to him by my family physician due to an auto accident I was involved in. Yes he suggested to make a neck and back surgery for the pain and condition I was in. I trusted his advise, got it done. Within 24 hours after my surgery I was able to walk. He is an asset to any community he lives in. Thank you and god bless you Dr. Nabavi.

The staff is very courteous and professional. Dr. Nabavi is very arroragant and seemed only interested in doing surgery after 1 visit. He doesn't appear to listen or be concerned with patient questions or concerns. Terrible people skills and no manners. Inaccurate Diagnosis. Look I was in an auto accident and he told me after reviewing my MRI that my lower back problem was from birth. Only solution would be surgery. He spent more time talking on a personal phone call, right in front of me in his office, then he spent talking to me about my injury!!! Did not even listen or consider what I or the reports had to say!! Know it all!! I will not be returning for follow up visit, going to have a second opinion. Dr. NABAVI join us in the real world, SURGERY!! The only solution?? Are you listening? I didn't think so. Oh one last thing , I was raised to shake a mans hand as a greeting and or thanks. So when someone extends their hand out to you again like I did, don't act like you can't see it. Jacka$$!!

I visited the institute of Brain/Spine and had an appointment with Nicholas Nabavi and it was by far the worst experience I've had in dealing with my lower back injury for over 6 years now. He didn't seem to care about my history or pain. Seemed irritated by me asking questions. I felt as though he wrote off my injury to get me out of his office. His diagnosis and analysis of my records and MRI were the complete opposite of many doctors that I have recently seen. On top of that he charged me $250 with my insurance for pretty much nothing. I agree with the other comment--- wouldn't even take my dog or cat here!!!!!
