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.

Excellent care from Dr. T, Liz and the rest of the team.

Spinal Fusion
I recently had Spinal Fusion surgery, and my situation was pretty bad off at that point. I don’t think that I could say enough good things about the care that I received before, during and after my surgery. Dr. Tavanaiepour and his team were amazing. The morning of my surgery, I was reassured that all would be well, and it was. My recovery is going very well, and is progressing much better and faster than expected. Thanks to Dr. Tavanaiepour and his team, I am able to walk without the use of a cane, and the pain that was constant for more than a year. I am forever grateful! Let me go ahead and give you all your flowers! Glory to God!

Lumbar Fusion
Tough surgery, however, recovery was swift. Complaint symptoms have been eliminated. I believe Dr. Tavanaiepour is a highly skilled surgeon who I will trust in the event that need any further spinal surgery. I’m very pleased with my results.

Dr. Tavaniepour is an excellent surgeon. I put off my surgery for many years because I was scared of having back surgery. Dr. T and his team made me feel comfortable with my decision. All my pain disappeared the day after surgery. I wish I would of done it sooner.

Great Results!
Dr. Tavanaiepour is an excellent surgeon. He fused two lower discs (lumbar region). My original pain from the herniated discs was immediately relieved. Now, six weeks after surgery, most of the discomfort from the incisions is gone, my strength is back, and I feel years younger. I highly recommend him!

AMAZING!!
Everyone that works with Dr. Travanaiepour is awesome. He is an excellent surgeon with an unbelievable bedside manner. He completed a TLIF spinal fusion on me and I feel like NEW after 12 weeks post op. His PA’s are incredible and are extremely knowledgeable. Devin Kelly and Adelajda Kore have been outstanding with my care. They are kind and compassionate. They both went out of their way to come see me in the ER to check on me and inform me on what my care plan was. Everyone is simply amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone with spinal problems. Thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family.

Awesome surgeon
I had a fusion surgery on January 31. Within a week I had no need for pain medicine other than at night. Another week I had no need at all. I haven't felt more like myself in about 5 years. If you ever find yourself needing back surgery I would highly recommend him. The care I received from him and his support staff was highly attentive and caring. I am greatly appreciative of every person in his office and he is an asset to the hospital in which he works.

Very attentive!
Entire team stays in contact. Easy to reach and answers quickly no matter your queens or concerns. I've never felt more cared for and looked after. The portal allowed me to read every thing regarding every visit, test and my surgery. It was also easy to print in case I needed to research words I didn't know in order to better understand everything about my condition. I trust this team!

Thankful for my surgery
Dr Tavanaiepour performed a fantastic surgery on me in November of 2021 and for me it was life changing. I am 95% back and working on the healing process of the last 5% from my spine surgery and spinal cord bruising. I am thankful for his skills and all the staff at UF health that got me through a difficult time.
