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.

This doctor saved my life! Gave me 90% of my life back after spine surgery. After 21 years, Im still going strong. He is a wonderful surgeon, very kind and professional. I highly recommend him and his office.

He is very rude and has a God complex about them self. He has one of the most terrible bedside manner I have seen in a Dr. I would never let him do surgery again. I was brought into the ER and he is assigned to do the surgery. You can try asking questions or anything without him being nasty and rude. . And he also moved me around the lunchtime neck after surgery .

Dr. Nabavi did 2 surgeries on my mother and was going for a third one unfortunately my mother's brain tumor had spread and that third surgery didn't happen. He saw my mother every week after her first surgery and also checked in frequently at the hospital when my mother would be there. Very straight forward doctor.

The office staff is great and my first visit with Dr. Nabavi I felt went ok. But the second visit, he never looked at my face, never review my test results with me in detail, told me I might have something else, and sent me out for yet MRI #4. When I asked questions regarding my tumor the answer was we will see when the time comes. For me you can't tell someone they either have MS or a spinal cord tumor and not answer their questions. The second visit took all of 3 minutes.

If your doctor becomes unavailable, the office will NOT transfer you to another physician within the practice (the Institute of Brain and Spine Surgery) unless you have an emergency. In my situation, my case was abandoned completely; the office refused to schedule me with another surgeon, and I was never contacted again. Of note, I had suffered a serious neck injury, so it wasn't as if I had a minor matter. Also, the office looked like a hovel, and Dr. can't explain bone healing accurately.
