Dr MESIWALA was wonderful and explained the back surgery I needed in a way and with options NONE of the other surgeons I’d met with ever brought up, and for the first time have someone I trust and a way to do my L-4 to S-1 surgeryShow more without any loss of mobility or added pressure on my L-3 disc by first installing a artificial disc at L-4 to L-5 and then to see if I still needed a L-5 to S-1 fusion which due to a fracture can’t be fixed with another Artificial disc. I was also amazed that I actually might have more mobility than the great mobility I currently have since my L-4 to L-5 is bone on bone already. I just wish Medicare covered artificial disc replacement for people over 60 since this is by far the best option with a much faster healing, less pain and is an out patient procedure. For the last 11 years I’ve lived with severe chronic pain which Dr Mesiwala thinks may be much better after the artificial disc implant is done. If there is still pain after the ADR then I can get a medicare covered fusion done at L-5 to S-1. The great thing is that by getting an artificial disc first at L-4 to L-5 first, it will keep the normañ fusion pressure off L-3 which could weaken over time and require future surgery at L-3, PLUS I WILL GET BETTER MOBILITY THAN I HAVE NOW WHICH IS DARN GOOD. Thank you Dr MESIWALA, you’re a 10 Star to me and I hope other that read my review and are WIRELESS find the great comfort that I feel about a very thought decisión about getting back fusion surgery!
Dr. Mesiwala is an outstanding surgeon that really cares about his patients. I went to him years after having cervical spinal surgery but still being in a great amount of pain. He was able to spot the surgery was not done correctlShow morey. With all the problems I was having he decided it would be a good idea to image more of my spine. Because of his intuition, we found problems in many levels. After my imaging was complete, I had lost my insurance. Dr. Mesiwala was so gracious and caring, he waived his fees so he could go over the imaging and create a plan, and one thay would be the least invasive. I have never had a medical professional willing to do this. Dr. Mesiwala is a top notch surgeon that really cares. I have already recommended patients and will continue to do so. Because of this my PCP is also recommending patients to him There is not a better neurosurgeon out there. Amd you will not find one that cares as much as he does. Thank you for everything Dr. Mesiwala!!

Reviews
I was very pleased with the initial consultation I had with Dr. Mesiwala. The office is clean and tasteful, the staff very proficient and nice, and the doctor himself, approachable and good at communicating a plan of action. Highly recommend!
Good doctor
Dr. Mesiwala operated on my back and I'm recuperating at this time. He is one of the finest surgeons. Thank You, Dr. Mesiwala.
He called me by telephone. Hes very nice and listened to me. He explained my back and neck results after my mri to me. I need neck surgery but not back surgery thank God no back. BUT for my 9-10 pain levels he wants to put a stimulator in my back. Told me it will stop my pain around 85 % I was always scared of this device, but I feel safe with the Doctor. I just want this pain gone so I can have my life back again. If you want a nice, caring, Surgeon pick Dr. Mesiwala. Hes the best, and will help you.
I am an existing patient and Dr. Mesiwala implanted a Neurostimulator in me in 2018. I’m returning to have a new battery placed in my unit. I trust Dr. Mesiwala completely and I know this will be as easy as it was before. I recommend Dr. Mesiwala to anyone who needs this specialized treatment.
Good over all
I went in for a follow up from a previous exploratory surgery. I was expecting to hear what Dr Mesiwala had mentioned to me earlier but was somewhat disappointed when he said the tentative surgery would not be suitable. However, he did suggest another type of surgery that might be more promising. With that in mind the appointment was worth going to.
Dr. Messiwala attended to my 96 year old mother and took very good care of her. We'll always be grateful for the professionalism, patience, and gentleness he and his staff showed to our family, and most of all her. Thank
Excelente conciente el mejor
Personally for me he's trying best back/spinal cord doctor out there I was very fortunate to have had him go my surgeon on my 3rd back surgery
Let me start by praising Dr. Mesiwala's professional staff for taking the initial steps in preparing me before I saw Dr. Mesiwala. I strongly believe that Dr. Mesiwala's wealth of knowledge in his field of practice is second to none. His bedside manner and his communication skill in describing and explaining my situation and answering my questions has given me lots of comfort and trust and I am not going to second guess his recommendations. I highly recommend Dr. Mesiwala's office.
Dr. Ali Mesiwala and his team are extremely professional. They went out of their way to meet my individual needs and truly exceeded all of my expectations. I could not have asked for a better experience. Dr. Bhatt followed up with me several times and worked me into his already busy schedule. Very grateful for everything and would definitely recommend this practice to anyone!
I have been a patient for 5 years and Dr. Mesiwala has always been helpful and honest. He’s the best!
Great communicator!
All went smoothly!
Well, to start with one of the women in the front desk managed to get me an appointment earlier due to my needs and I thank her for that. Her name is Hannah. I am a new patient and the doctor called me a couple days ago before I see him in the office just to know what was going on. He had read my MRI and knew exactly what the problem was. He seemed very knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. Also seemed like he really cared about my situation. I would recommend Dr. Mesiwalla to anyone. I can’t wait to see him in his office to talk more about my surgery. And also he comes highly recommended from other doctors.
Excellent health care. Very satisfied and would highly recommend,
It’s all good and device is up and running. We will see how well asap.
Accurate professional was able to see the problem within minutes of reviewing mri
My experience with Dr. Mesiwala was very positive. He reviewed my scans and symptoms then gave a very detailed explanation of treatment as well reasons for proceeding in that direction. He was attentive to my input and allayed doubts that I had due to prior negative experiences with other specialists. My only complaint is with the online questionnaire which I found to be burdensome and seemingly inapplicable. But since I find that may be a personal view it doesn't warrant negative feedback.
Dr. Mesiwala and staff have been terrific. Very helpful and informative.
I think Dr Mesiwala is great. He takes his time and I never feel rushed.
Dr. Mesiwala listened to me as I told him all my symptoms and he reviewed several of my MRIs. He was very confident in what treatment / surgery I need. It was a relief for me to see such a knowledgeable Dr. And that he has experience in brachial decompression surgery.

As with my previous meeting with Dr Mesiiwala, he patiently answered all questions. He never makes you feel rushed.
Very knowledgeable and professional . Nice facility .
Dr always listens to what patients have to say in regards to their concerns and questions. He has answers that are understandable. The best Dr in the nation with a wonderful bedside manner

Dr. Mesilla operated on my neck . He replaced 2 disc's in my neck and after the surgery, the pain was gone
Dr. Mesiwala is the best neurosurgeon and physician I have had the pleasure of meeting for the treatment of NPH! He is brilliant, patient and takes the time to listen and ensure he has all the details to consider before he makes his diagnosis. He thinks outside the box for solutions!
