Dr. Alikhani is the best neurosurgeon period, he has operated on me 3 times, the amazing job he did is the reason I'm alive and not in pain anymore from my back or neck. Now if I could just stop the arthritis I'd be even better...??

In early 2021 I suffered a T.B.I that was life threatening and caused many surgeries and Dr. Puya during operation easily saved my life and helped me understand what was going on as well as bring my thought process back to somewhat of what it was before. With all of the help that I got from him, Dr Puya is easily the most successful and safe doctor I've ever had

I wish if there is 10 stars, I want to thank Dr Alikhani from my entire family for the wonderful spinal cord surgery that he provided formy husband Azmy Matta. H is steadily returning to health! Before the surgery Azmywas in pain and unable to walk. Thank you Dr Alikhani to your expertise, skill and work , now he is able to walk slowly using a walker, and he continues to improve every day. All of us are so very appreciative of the work that Dr. Alikhani did for his recovery. Heartfelt thanks to him and his amazing team of professionals.

I went to Dr. Alikhani for herniated disk problem. At that time I wasn’t able to walk, stand, sit anything! I had surgery 2 weeks ago and now I don’t have any pain at all!! I was able to walk 3 hours after surgery! Dr. Alikhani is a perfect doctor, he and his amazing staff truly care about their patience. I highly recommend him!!

My daughter received bad news about needing extensive spine surgery a few months before graduation. Dr. Alikhani worked around her schedule and is the only person during 5 long hospital days that put an instant smile on her face - we are forever grateful to him
