I have been with Dr Mesiwalia for over 30 years. He’s a true professional and tops in the neurological field for surgery. Without this man in my life, I would not be walking. he takes the time to make sure that you understand everShow moreything leaving the decision up to you if you would want the surgery or not. His hands are so skilled and his brain is so on point I cannot imagine a better neurological surgeon. His staff make sure that everything that you need is taken care of in a timely manner. Everyone who is employed by Dr.Mesiwalia are all true professionals.
I was very nervous to hear what Dr. Mesiwala was going to tell me regarding my most recent MRI of my neck. My PCP thought I would need surgery. Luckily for me, and to my relief my surgery would be on an out-patient basis. He woulShow mored only need to make two small holes in my neck and recovery would be 2-3 weeks instead of a year. All music to my ears. Thank you Dr. Mesiwala. Sincerely, Wendy Portillo

Dr Mesiwala And his Staff were very welcoming, professional, and relatable. I felt like I was dealing with people who care and who dedicated to help. We may find a solution to my issue.. Thanks so much
Dr Ali Mesiwala is terrific!! Very friendly and knowledgeable about my procedure. Not at all arrogant. Felt as ease with him, and he is very confident. Recommend him thoroughly!!
Fast appt fast exam
Very professional. The wait was a little longer than ideal but the doctor answered all my questions.
The staff is always pleasant-very easy to work with. The doctor is the same.
What an amazing surgeon! I flew out the day after the surgery. I was relieved of my chronic pain. I can think straight now! It was worth my trip from FL to Cali. I would have been bed ridden and immobile for a good amount of time if I took this surgery here in FL. Dr Mesiwala is highly skilled and his team is the best!
Dr Mesiwala is an AMAZING Neurosurgeon!!! I was up walking after having 3 disc in my neck replaced that day. Unbelievable, I wouldn't see anyone else!!! Will be going back this spring to have him fix my lower back with the Tops device. Charles Postma
Very caring
Dr. Mesiwala performed 2life changing surgeries for me. He has helped me with my neck and back pain. I highly recommend Dr.Mesiwala if you are considering any type of spine surgery.
Dr. Mesiwala was direct and thorough with his explanation of my condition as well as detailing future options. His staff was welcoming and made it pleasant to ask questions.
Courteous doctor/staff and it was a good experience.
Friendly staff.
Dr . Mesiwala is wonderful. I have not had my surgery yet , but he is very understanding and thorough and listens to yr issues. His staff is great and has always been very helpful.
When in pain a 90 minute wait to see a doctor is not okay. The office should notify patients with a phone call when he is running 30+ minutes late. And they left us sitting in an uncomfortable waiting room, around at least one sick person for the full 60+ minutes. Why not tell us to come back? When an office is this inconsiderate does that build confidence in a surgeon? No it doesn’t.
Was informative and reassuring.
1st class surgery and 1st class surgeon. Great post surgery follow up visit. I would definitely recommend
Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Always an amazing experience at my appointments.
Dr Ali Mesiwala was great. He explained the diagnosis with detail and translated in Spanish which was a plus. He seems to care about the patients. The staff was also friendly and courteous.

I had Cervical back 4 disc replacement. After surgery, I no longer had the painful lower back pain I was having. Surgery went well.
DISC is as good as it gets. This is my second surgery there, one back and one cervical disc replacement. The doctors are simply the best in their field and the facilities and staff are amazing. Dr. Mesiwala has taken me from not being able to feel my hands and unable to sleep more that 2 hours due to pain to 95% normal in just four weeks.
Dr. Mesiwala is terrific! He explains everything very clearly, spends time with you to answer all questions and concerns. He always accommodates you with scheduling. He’s been helping me for 5 years now and I would highly recommend him to anyone! His staff is also just the best
great doctor
good
