I cannot say enough good things about my recent surgery with Dr. Telfeian. The result has been major improvement in walking. I should note that Dr. Telfeian was very forthright about the long term prognosis, but in an encouraging way. The procedure itself was smoothly done (I also appreciate the anesthesiologist). I am happy to encourage others to contact him.

Don't waste your time here. I revived a spine fusion from this place in 2017 and have more pain now then ever due to nerve damage at the root of my l5 from the surgery but no one will admit it and they keep pushing me off to other doctors and pain clinics when I don't want pain meds I want to be able to work and function but they honest don't care at all your just another billing code to them.
Not to mention the receptionist in front office is one of the rudest people I have ever met never returns phone calls and acts as if your bothering her every time you call. If you take anything from this review all please get a second or third opinion before you let the so called doctors wreck your life.
