Dr. Ashraf Ragab, MD

I lifted something. Couldn’t get out of bed. Went to ER. only pulled muscle. After 6 plus weeks of no relief, went to Dr Regab. Told me he thought he could fix with cortisol shot in my back. Went over my medical history. We went over my diabetes ( 15 years) and A1C under 7. Then on day of shots, AFTER shots told me he only used lidocaine. He claims he never uses cortisol on diabetic patients. HE KNEW I WAS DIABETIC. He claimed it was a MISUNDERSTANDING. nope nope nope. My partner of 22 years was with me both times. No misunderstanding on our part. He lied to our face Of course lidocaine did ZERO for me. I found other back surgeon that same week who said where my diabetes is totally under control, he would do cortisol shots. First shot I was 75% better. 2 weeks later another shot. Now 95% better STAY AWAY FROM DR THAT LIE, which Dr Ragal did right to my face

I have been touched by an Angel. Dr. Ragab saved my life. I had severe lower back pain that traveled down my right side, down my leg to my knee. After surgery my pain is gone. 3 weeks later I feel better then ever. I believe we have Angels living among us and Dr. Ragab is one of them. Thank you, Dr. Ragab you are amazing, sincere, honest and true and I have been blessed to be healed by your touch. I can't thank you enough and words can't express what you have done for me. Thank you for giving me life back. I do believe in miracles as I am living proof. Most most happiest, humbled patient Millie Viera-Blakemore

Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my spine care.

He operated on me about 5 times. He said one of my surgeries would be watched by many Residents in Orthopedic Surgery. He told me to call HIM if ever I needed!! I’m needing more surgery and want him to perform it.

Great surgeon and very caring. My mom had an invasive back surgery and she is doing great! Dr. Ragab is very professional and always on top of his patients' needs. My mom's life has charged for the best. Thank you Dr. :)

I was seen today for my follow up it went fantastic . I am always treated as if I were his only patient i would give him a ten amazing Dr n staff ,thank u from the bottom of my heart u saved my life.

Dr Ragab Is a compassionate Dr that treats you kindness& respect. He has performed cervical and lumbar surgery on me with great success . He all took very good care of my husband when he fractured his neck in a work comp. , then performed cervical surgery On my husband with awesome results. The offices are beautiful& staff is very friendly. MHRusso

I had medial branch blocks done. I was suppose to have anesthesia, but they never gave it to me. I was awake and sobbing in pain and they never stopped. I know I was moving around to much for them injections to be placed in correct areas, because they didn't give me anything to knock me out.. How I got treated that day was in-humane. No one deserves to be treated like that ever. I would not recommend letting him do any procedure on your spine. I left there in more pain then when I went in.

Both Dr. Ragab and his staff were very caring, empathetic and knowledgeable. They went over my options and explained everything to me. Thanks for the help. Will tell all that I meet with spinal conditions to seek help here.

Excellent all around

Cliff Notes version...RUN!!!!! Florida has some really shady doctors but he takes the cake. On the surface, appears calm, cool, knowledgeable. But, when you really need him, he chooses to walk away, no reason, no excuse...just come pick up your file. If the Laws in Florida were more strict with doctors, absolutely would have sued. Sadly though, Florida does not protect patients, only doctors. They can ruin your life and have no recourse whatsoever. Don't let him ruin your life like he did ours

Stay away from Ragab!. He performed a lower back surgery on me 8 years ago. IT WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE. He fractured 2 vertebrae. How ? He never had a bone density test performed on an 80 year old male, ME.. In addition the screws to hold the rods were not installed horizontally but at about a 20% angle which I believe shifted my spine,causing a bend. In all I am in pain 24/7,particularly on my left leg from thigh to toe. I went to his office, was told 2 MORE ops would cure my pain!! DUH

Dr Ragab is a fine professional that in most cases.his surgeries and proceedures work. With me I had a Spine Stimulator trial and on one leg he hit a nerve and ended uo in the er. No communication from the surgical coordinator and my primary care physician. There are other choices that you will fare well.
