Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Lumbar Fusion
I highly recommend Dr Ghandi. He is an outstanding neurosurgeon. This was the second surgery he has preformed on me. They were in different locations but the results were both amazing. He is very thorough and caring person. He treats you with respect and dignity always explaining what is wrong and your options in an easily understandable way.

Lower back surgery
In August 2024, Dr. Gandhi performed surgery on my lower back, specifically L4 and L5. I had never met a doctor like Dr. Gandhi. The way he treated me from the first visit, both he and his entire staff exceeded my expectations. Dr. Gandhi was very kind, respectful, and explained every detail of the procedure to me. I loved that he showed me my MRI and compared it to a normal one so that I could better visualize what the damage was. He took quality time to explain every detail and my extra questions that I always had. On the day of the operation, Dr. Gandhi, the anesthesiologist and nurses were not only kind to me, but also to my family. I am in my third week of recovery and the results I have had are better than I expected. Thank God first of all, for putting me in the hands of Dr. Gandhi. I hope he can continue to help more people as he has helped me. I recommend him 100%. Thank you Dr. Gandhi

Dr. Ghandi, what can I say that would be the right words. I couldn't have asked for a better Neurourgeon. I feel blessed to have had him through this whole process. All the pain, symptoms I had are gone. Dr. Ghandi really does care about his patients and helps them feel at ease. Dr. Ghandi, thank you so much. You and your staff are the best. I have been and will definitely continue recommending you.

Fantastic experience and life changing results
Dr. Gandhi correctly identified my medical issue that I have suffered in pain for years. Instead of "it's your back you need PT" he identified my SI joints were causing me this incredible pain. He described the issue, treatment, probability of success from this surgery and what to expect in recovery. I am enjoying an active life again without pain. Thank you for giving me my life back

I met Dr. Gandhi by referral from my PCP when I was experiencing severe neck pain. When most surgeons would have immediately said OPERATE, Dr. Gandhi provided me pain treatment options that would buy time and allow my body to heal naturally. Even the most common surgeries come with risks and it was my goal to avoid that if at all possible. He listened to my concerns and validated my feelings. Dr. Gandhi never made me feel like a burden for taking up his time and welcomed any questions my husband or I had. 10/10 recommend this physician!

Treatment and Surgery with Dr. Gandhi
I was referred to Dr. Gandhi due to a cyst on my spinal cord between L4 and L5. Dr. Gandhi went through the MRI with me to show where the cyst was located and the upcoming surgery procedure to remove. After surgery and follow up, he went over my x-rays explaining what had been done. Excellent explanation. Great doctor! I would recommend to anyone needing back surgery.

Very Positive Experience
I am 1 year out from back surgery to remove a synovial cyst in my lumbar region. Dr. Gandhi was wonderful, very professional and compassionate, giving concise detailed explanations going into the surgery and following up meticulously throughout the ensuing year post surgery. I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Gandhi highly. This was a life changer for me!
