Dr. Yevgeniy Khavkin, MD

**Life-Changing Results with a Surgeon Who Actually Listens** I cannot say enough about Dr. Khavkin and the entire team at Khavkin Clinic. After months of debilitating neck pain, I was initially scheduled to see a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai in California who recommended a three-level artificial disc replacement—and wanted me to pay cash for one of the discs. Through a trusted friend, I was introduced to Dr. Khavkin for a second opinion, and that decision changed everything. What impressed me immediately was Dr. Khavkin's integrity. Before offering his own recommendation, he actually offered to speak directly with my California surgeon to better understand the case—as a professional courtesy. When that surgeon wouldn't take the time to have a collegial conversation, it raised a major red flag for me. Dr. Khavkin then walked me through, in remarkable detail and with clear facts, why a C4-C5-C6 fusion combined with an artificial disc would give me a significantly higher rate of long-term… success than three artificial discs. He wasn't dismissive of ADR—he does plenty of them—but he explained that he also performs many revision surgeries for patients whose artificial discs failed because they weren't the right candidates. His philosophy is refreshingly patient-centered: operate only on what's necessary, and avoid surgery altogether when possible. His credentials speak for themselves—Johns Hopkins trained, former neurosurgery professor at Northwestern, and over 8,000 spinal surgeries performed. But what sets Dr. Khavkin apart is how he treats you as a person. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. Nico handled all my administrative needs with incredible attention and communication. The surgery at Spring Valley Hospital was flawless—the staff there was fantastic throughout my two-night stay. And the results? Immediate. For the first time in years, I woke up from surgery with no neck pain. Post-op care was equally impressive. Dr. Khavkin personally ensured I understood every aspect of my recovery and connected me with a top-tier physical therapist to optimize my healing. If you're facing spinal surgery, do yourself a favor: get a consultation with Dr. Khavkin. There's nobody better in Nevada—and I'd argue the entire West Coast. He gave me my life back. — A grateful patient

My neck was in terrible shape. I was in constant pain and losing the feeling in my hands. The surgery went great. Had the feeling and strength come back immediately. Best surgeon without question.

My first surgery was cool. By the time I should have been healing good, i was still in pain. Now i am over 10 months into my healing and I've been in a car accident so I can't really say how I'm feeling from the surgery because I was hurt and now have to have the spinal stimulator implanted but overall, Dr Y. Khavkin is a really good surgeon. I would refer him to anyone who I know needs a good surgeon.

On the morning of Dec 10, 2018 I walked into Henderson Nv. Hospital and I came out Paralyzed. Dr. Yevgeniy did nothing to help me and has destroyed my life.

Fantastic surgeon, feeling better!

Dr Khavkin performed a Interbody Lumbar Fusion with hardware on me in June. Thank God I went for a second opinion as my pain management facility I was going to was doing nothing about my pain but trying to band aid it. The Dr that owns my pain management took zero time to discuss anything with me. For 4 months I had no idea and decided to visit Dr Khavkin as my husband who attends the same pain management had the same issues with them as I did for 4 years until Dr Khavkin basically saved his life. Driving an hour and a half to Las Vegas saved me as well. He saw my problem in 5 minutes that pain management could not find in over 4 months. I would highly recommend Dr Khavkin to anyone! I love his staff and like he said, "He fixed me" Thank you Dr Khavkin for saving my husbands life and fixing mine as well!

They have one doctor that cares, but they keep giving me the other ones who yell at me because I'm disabled and in a chair. Another one acts like I'm crazy, You can find better doctors in TJ then you can here. Waste of your time.

Arrived right on time. After waiting an hour I asked how much longer. They finally put me in a room, a med student checked my vitals, waited...a med asst. came in and I repeated what I said b4, waited...another person came in and said he was Khavkin;s partner and gave me back my CD's and said my brain is okay. I felt like a second class citizen and never even got to see the dr I had appt. with. But they were quick to charge me the $20 copay. Would never go to this office again.

I waited too long to see Dr Khavkin to have surgery on my spine. I suffered for 2 years before my operation but now I am pain free. Dr Khavkin is very patient-friendly and has your health as his primary concern. I would highly recommed Dr Khavkin to anyone considering back/spine surgery.

Dr. Khavkin has worked with me over the past two years. I had one semi-successful surgery for lumbar spinal disc degeneration. I am awaiting additional surgery, pending approval by my insurance company. I trust Dr. Khavkin to perform this delicate and challenging surgery. My quality of life will deteriorate without the surgery I require to repair my degenerative disc damage. Dr. Khavkin is easy to talk to and is a top surgeon in his field. He has been recognized for performing difficult surgery that only a few doctors in the world are qualified to perform. I trust Dr. Khavkin and am glad he is my doctor.
