I saw Dr Qureshi to get his opinion on an an MRI of c-spine that had been ordered by my primary care due to nagging pain and h/a. I also consulted with another surgeon at a well-known medical group in S CA After seeing both surgeons, I was so impressed with Dr Qureshi's technical knowledge, calm demeanor, presentation and reputation, that I met with him a second time with my husband present. I underwent my laminoplasty and stayed 2 nights at John Muir Medical in Wslnut Creek. The care there was phenomenal. Dr Qureshi is very respected by the staff there and they commented on his abilities and concern for his patients. My surgery went perfectly and my recovery is still moving forward. I only had to wear my c-spine collar for 12 days and my crsys showed perfect placement of the titanium plates/hinges. Thank you Dr Qureshi for all you do and the the manner in which you do it- I highly recommend him, along with his tram at John Muir. His PA, Kelsey, is a phenomenal practitioner as well. God bless you Dr Qureshi, Robin Diamond read more

Dr.Quershi have Physician Assistant Kelsey Hults ..She was there when Dr. Quershi was not available.. unfortunately I'd been consulting her for my lumbar pain and twice she mess up my application for a disability placard . Overlook the questionnaire and not filling out the proper portion . Twice I wasted my time in the waiting room at DMV , from here on I will just request for Dr. Qureshi and hoping request will fulfill with no dissatisfaction.. read more

Operated on my dads spine earlier this year. My dad now has so much less pain. Office staff is really helpful too and helps work with your insurance. Especially the woman who schedules the surgeries, she was amazing. read more

Dr. Qureshi saved my life. Dr. Qureshi diagnosed my broken neck after it had been missed by other docs for YEARS. I had a four level involvement in my cervical spine. He went in and did a three level ACDF. This was during Covid and he got me a bed at John Muir the second he saw the danger I was in. One trip, one rear end collision and I would have been a quad. Surgery went flawlessly and I was released in three days. 24 hours I was back again because I had developed a Seroma in my neck that was choking the life out of me. Doc got me in, got me into a private room and they went to work. It was a delicate two weeks. They had to give me steroids to reduce the swelling but not enough to interfere with the healing. He achieved it. Three levels fused and I lost almost no neck movement whatsoever. Almost NO LOSS. He was there checking on me daily. I was well taken care of. He is a good man and a great surgeon. I won't let anyone else work on my cervical spine. Ever. Just him. Doc, If you read this then know I am indebted to you and that in my book, you are one of the great ones. I am sorry it took me so long to write this but I finally got around to writing up my other four Orthos (I am hard on my body) and you are just simply great. Thank you. read more

I saw Dr.Qureshi regarding severe back pain. I found him to be kind,compassionate and caring. He explained everything to me in great detail so that I understood what we were doing. ​ read more

Dr Qureshi and his team are incredible. I'm now 4months out from a Spinal Decompression and Lumber Fusion . When I first saw Dr Qureshi I was in unbearable pain. I could barely walk ,sit,sleep,stand. He and his team have guided me through the diagnosis , treatment, surgery, and aftercare with knowledge, compassion and skill. I highly recommend Dr Qureshi and his team. I feel as if I've gotten my life back. I never thought I would be able to do everything I used to do. My only regret was waiting years to seek help. Thank you!!!!!!! read more

I find Dr. Quereshi to be knowledgeable and thorough, didn't try to rush me out of his office. He listens and answers my questions.

Dr.Qurashi is a superb Surgeon. surgery was performed perfectly, I could not be happier. The words can not describe the respect I have for this Doctor. he is 10 star surgeon A++++++++++ not 5 star read more

Wonderful Doctor. I would recommend him to anyone.Dr. Qureshi as help me through all my Bad Back pains. I was at a point where I thought that maybe I would not be able to walk again. But with Dr Qureshi and staff they gave me back my confidence. read more

Dr. Qureshi is by far one of the best workers comp doctors I have ever had. He is very pleasant, knowledgeable, very professional and has great bedside manners. I had a cervical artificial disc replacement done and Dr. Qureshi and his staff were wonderful. Thanks for taking care of me! read more

Dr Qureshi is my hero! He performed an anterior and posterior lumbar fusion surgery that lasted 11 hours. 10 years ago I had a lumbar fusion surgery that needed to be redone due to instability (this was with another surgeon). I wasn't able to stand or walk for more than 15 minutes without being in excruciating back pain and one of my legs getting numb. Now, 4 months after my surgery, I feel like a new person! I walk for 1 hour every day and am able to live a more "normal life". Dr Qureshi and his team were very thorough, professional and caring during the surgery time and during the follow-up. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Qureshi is a highly skilled and an outstanding Spine Surgeon who does the most difficult spine surgeries with successful and amazing results. Dear Dr. Qureshi, Thank you so much for saving me from excruciating pains and helping me out with my Cervical Spine Surgery. I can not thank you enough. Ali F. read more

I'm 4 months post-op and my life has totally changed from my surgery. For12 years I've suffered from degenerative disc disease. In February on vacation I could barely walk 100 yards without stopping. Dr Q fused L5-S1 both front and back and my recovery was amazing. Within 3 weeks I was walking 2+ miles every day without any breaks. He explained the procedure very clearly before and made sure I understood the procedure with no questions. He checked in on me every day in the hospital to make sure that the pain management was working for me. Follow up were great with his PA as well. I would strongly recommend Dr Qureshi to anyone thinking of spine surgery. My only regret is that I waited so long to take care of my problem read more

Dr. Quershi and Kelsey performed surgery on me in October. From my first appointment through the many I have had since, they have been exceptional. Dr. Qureshi tried a treatment prior to surgery in hopes of avoiding surgery. His aim was not to have to perform surgery if I could find relief in a less invasive manner. He and Kelsey are both very professional, caring, and they gave me all of the information pre and post-op. I had some complications and they handled those wonderfully, seeing me as often as needed despite their busy schedules. I would highly recommend Dr. Qureshi and would feel confident sending any of my family members or friends to him. read more

My orthopedic surgeon saved my life. He was very methodical to solve the complications of the laminoplasty. The decision to go with the laminectomy saved me from paralysis. I thank him for allowing me to walk again, even with a cane. The infection found was treated by two very strong antibiotics. I have gained full stamina and strength in my extremities. I walk at least 2 to 3 miles a day with the cane. Thank you very much. read more

Dr. Qureshi performed a spinal fusion revision (L3,4,5, & S1) back in late summer of 2019. There were some issues with the hospital after the surgery and Dr. Q personally resolved them. In fact he gave me his personal cell # if I needed his assistance for any relevant post surgical issues. He has always showed the utmost respect and is a very caring, kind person. He was cautious at every step from diagnosis through post-op care. To ensure proper healing I waited about 4 or 5 months after surgery to start PT. Just as I started, the pandemic hit. It is only now (May 2021) that my husband (organ transplant) and I are cautiously going out into the world again now that we are fully vaccinated. After viewing my latest x-rays, Dr. Qureshi has approved the restart of my PT. All the stars. read more

I am grateful everyday that I was referred to this magical surgeon. After dealing with two bulging discs in my neck for close to a year he replied them and I woke up in the recovery room pain free!! Both he and Kelsey are miracle workers in my book!!! read more

Dr. Qureshi, performed surgery on my lumbar region, at the beginning of Feb 2022. I'm 3 months into recovery and I am just so grateful for the amazing job he and his team did for me. I was in tremendous pain leading up to the procedure and had suffered with lower back problems for many years. Seeing the acute situation I was in, Dr Qureshi urgently admitted me through ER and performed the surgery that I can honestly say was transformational. He's very humble and extremely knowledgeable and I have no hesitation to recommend him. read more

It was the worst experience ever. My son has had back pain for months. His PCP said he has scoliosis, so we went to see Dr. Qureshi. We waited one month for the earliest appointment available. The appt was at 4 pm. We waited 40 mins to be seen by him, and he was rushing and talking for less than 4 mins (nothing meant anything that helped or answered for the back pain). My son had 2 X-rays done, one a yr ago and one recent. He didn't even see/notice the recent X-ray until after he walked out of the room. Dr. Qureshi recommended an MRI and PT. Here it is again. The first PT availability is one mo from the time I called. I called the office twice to request the MRI appt, but they said someone would call me. It has been three weeks. NO ONE at the MRI department has called me for the appt. BTW, the Therapy Orders form they handed to me has the wrong patient info. They just gave me one of their patients' names, DOB, addresses, and phone numbers. There goes the patient care and patient privacy. I have high deducible insurance, and I am paying for the consultation out of my pocket. I'm paying $250 for less than 4 mins for his time, and what about my time? I waited 40 mins and still don't know why my son has back pain. I feel like just being robbed. read more

What started as a nightmare turned into pain relief thanks to Muir Orthopaedic and Dr Abid Qureshi. I had back pain for years and no doctor ever took the time to figure out the cause of the pain. Other doctors and specialists prescribed medication, physical therapy, referrals to chiropractor.... but none actually gave me a diagnosis. When I finally made it to Muir Orthopaedic, the proper tests were run and I finally had a real diagnosis. When it actually came time to have surgery, Dr Qureshi and his team were amazing. Though the recovery was long and painful, Qureshi and his team actually fixed me! For the first time in years, I could walk without excruciating pain. Long story short, I could not recommend Dr Qureshi and Muir Orthopaedic enough. read more

No bedside manner, no empathy, doesn't let you talk, doesn't let you ask questions, doesn't explain anything, doesn't even ask what's been going on or anything??!! Horrible experience. read more

Dr Qureshi performed a L1/S1 fusion and decompression in Sept '22. I would highly recommend Dr Qureshi to everyone without hesitation. I felt confident in his experience at my first appointment and knew that he was the surgeon I wanted do this surgery. After months of pain/discomfort and two epidural injections (that provided minimal and only short term relief)--Dr Qureshi recommended this procedure. While the surgery recovery was difficult--I would not hesitate to do it again. So worth it - feel like I did before I developed my slipped disc. read more

I have called this office 5 days in a row. Nobody calls back nobody answers I. Got ahold Of a Person one time and they said we need to refer you to another department and then they transferred me and nobody got back. I give this place one star the service is not ok I'd get better service at fastfood. read more

There are no words that can express my gratitude to Dr. Qureshi and his PA Zach. They are a fantastic team. My mother was in so much pain and she basically could not walk a block without extreme pain and talked to her primary doctor to no avail. Finally I decided to take her into Muir Orthopedic and that's when Dr. Qureshi brought her back to life! It's been almost 6 months since her spinal fusion and it was a life changer for him. If/when I need something like this he will be the first call. I suggest that you do the same. This team is phenomenal. read more

Dr. Qureshi performed a lamon my neck last year and he is an excellent surgeon at top-flight doctor I highly recommend him. This morning, Dr. Qureshi successfully performed a bi-lateral epidural procedure on my lower back. Which only supports my earlier opinion of his abilities as a doctor and a surgeon. His knowledge, skill and talent has greatly improved my quality of life. read more

Dr. Abid Qureshi performed ACDF surgery on my neck in January 2019. He is an excellent Dr. Always listened to my concerns and explained my surgery to a tee as what to expect. I am very happy with my outcome as I am pain free fir the first time in a few years. read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Abid Qureshi, who performed a bilateral TLIF on my L5-S1 - last October. After living with debilitating nerve pain for more than two years, pain medication daily, and multiple Doctors simply ping-ponging me back and forth between "specialists" all saying I was to young for a procedure, some not even meeting with me just looking into my file. Dr. Qureshi listened, and after months of appointments and preparation. He performed on me what is in my opinion no less than a miracle. I am so thankful to the Lord for bestowing such skill, discernment, and attentiveness on Dr. Qureshi and his fabulous team. Thank you for giving me my life back sir. It's all thanks to him I am off of pain medication entirely. I am so thankful that I can play with my children, and keep up with them again, that I can't say enough about how great of care I received. Thank you Dr. God Bless you! read more

After 5 years of dealing with a painful herniated disk (L5) and injections weren't working any longer, I was ready for the next step which meant surgery. I was recommended to get my surgery done by Dr.Quereshi. Dr.Quereshi was very professional and described to me exactly how he was going to approach my surgery which made me feel comfortable. I was at peace after my pre-op visit with him and I could not wait to have Dr.Quereshi fix me!!! As of 7/1/21 I'm no longer in Pain and my recovery has been successful! I'm now in Physical Therapy per his instructions to increase my muscles strength and flexibility. If you have any Orthopedic issues don't hesitate to visit Dr.Quereshi. He is a gentle and gifted soul and is in a mission to help others bring back to a healthy lifestyle. read more

Excellent surgeon, Dr Qureshi was my choice when I needed cervical surgery. I asked my friends and colleagues in the medical field who they would use if they needed Spine surgery and all endorsed Dr Qureshi. He is conservative in his approach but effective in his application. Not one complaint, resolved my issue with mild to the best of his ability read more

Dr Qureshi is am amazing doctor. From my first appointment to my last appointment he has always been great. He is clear on his explanations, answers all my questions and is very humble. He performed surgery on my back and I knew what to expect before hand. Dr Qureshi and Zach make a great team. I highly recommend them and have already referred others to him. I forgot how it felt to walk with out pain in my back but thanks to him, I now remember what it is like! read more

Up-date 8-3-19, I still have severe pain in the middle of my back, my left leg is still pretty much numb most of the time. That tens unit this so called assistant recommended is pretty much useless. I might as well stick a post note on my back that says "the pain is here". I can't imagine why there are so many 5 stars on this Qureshi's review. Compassion and concern about patient's level of comfort and life appear to be just words with no meaning. Oh, Lindsey, I'll call you real soon so we can discuss how this assistant did such a great job. read more

My husband had severe pain and numbing on his left arm for about a year. On the recommendation of his primary care physician, he saw Dr. Qureshi who diagnosed him with cervical myelopathy. Dr. Qureshi recommended Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion surgery. He explained the surgery in detail including the pros and cons. He made sure that we understood the procedure. My husband had surgery on Jan 23, 2017. The surgery was a success. My husband is now pain free and on his way to a complete recovery. Dr. Qureshi is an excellent surgeon with impeccable bed side manner. I also want to acknowledge his entire staff for their caring attitude and professionalism. read more

Dr. Qureshi is great. I had spinal fusion surgery and the outcome was amazing. I can now walk miles without radiating pain down my legs. I went to him based on the glowing recommendation of my primary care physician and he lived up to expectations. He was always patient and answered my questions and I never felt dismissed or rushed. I would highly recommend him. The practice in general, Muir Orthopedics, is also really good. Great follow-up, attentive tech's, low wait time. I've talked to other folks who have had similarly good experiences there. In my opinion this is the best orthopedics place in the East Bay. read more

Dr Qureshi was absolutely fabulous in his calming bedside manner, knowledge of the field, medical evaluation and advice.

Dr. Qureshi is amazing. He is patient, calm and very warm and caring. I was able to see him within a week after scheduling. While waiting in the exam room, an orderly came in and ushered me to get my Xray, first. Came back into the room and Dr. Qureshi and his P.A. came right in. Told me what they saw was wrong...and then ordered an MRI for additional follow up. MRI was done within a week and follow up in 2-weeks. Dr. Qureshi discussed my MRI findings in great detail. Although they cannot treat what my condition is, offered an epidural injection for pain relief and told me that my "quality of life" was very important right now, and they wanted to help me with it. Muir Ortho and Dr. Qureshi have been fabulous in the three visits I've had there (Initial meeting, MRI and Follow up). I really cannot say enough good abou them. read more

I have been very happy with Dr. Qureshi. I have scoliosis and my L4 and L5 discs are almost completely degenerated. I live in constant pain. He is a magician when it comes to the epidural. It's like instant pain relief. It depends on how stupid I am (AKA: If I start running again), but it usually last 4 months. He's always very patient and explains what's going on and why he thinks we should approach it how we should. Plus, his assistant Becky and his NP, Angela (I really hope I didn't get her name wrong, but I think I did), are wonderful too. read more

Dr Quereshi is a compassionate and skillful doctor. I can attest to his great bedside manners as he insisted that I cease smoking my 2 cigs in the evening before he would agree to perform surgery and although I negotiated hard, his gracious ways of communicating and clear concern for my health won me over. My medical condition is complex, suffice it to say that the good doctor needed to employ logic, critical thinking & practical decision making to arrive at a plan for my surgery due to my spine being compromised in several areas. He also found a potential problem while looking at MRI scans that no other doctor had caught. He put the kabash on my spinal surgery until I was cleared for this issue. Now, how many doctors can you say TODAY will put their potential earnings on hold for the benefit of the patient? I realize it's a sad commentary on our medical system but hey, that's been my experience on many an occasion. I have a new neck, I'm not pain free, however, I was never promised a neck free of pain but rather; a firmly attached head instead of the bauble head I sported at the time. I need to do more of my own pacing, PT so not a reflection on surgeons work, I'm just a tough patient. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing ortho surgery, you can at least be sure to have an ethical, honest and skilled doctor in your corner. You will find these qualities with Dr Quereshi AND his staff! read more

wanted to update now that my sciatica pain is gone. I ended up having to get a lumbar microdisectomy and Dr. Qureshi helped make the entire experience go smoothly. I was extremely nervous but the entire staff at Sequoia Surgical and Dr. Qureshi himself are very nice and helped me in any way they could throughout my healing process. Dr. Qureshi did a great job on my surgery and I am finally pain free after 9 months of pain. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing back pain. read more

Abid A. Qureshi, M.D. is without a doubt a medical version of a magician. Dr. Qureshi, is very focused and committed to his patient. Before meeting him I could barely walk or stand due to a massive cyst logged between my L4 and L5. Dr Qureshi took control and did what needed to be done to get me back on the golf course. The pain is now but faded memory. Although I don't wish the back pain I dealt with, if you need a great back surgeon Dr. Qureshi is the man your looking for. Thank you Dr. Qureshi read more

There is lots to say about Dr. Qureshi. I never place an emphasis on bedside manner but if I did he gets a 10. It becomes apparent pretty quickly that you are in the presence of a humble master. Somebody at the top of their craft yet no airs and no ego. He is centrally focused on the solution to your problem using his extraordinary means as a surgeon and I would say as a mechanic. I think he has no patience for half measures, meaning if it can't be done right he's not gonna do it. I had a TILF for the L3 L4 and L5 and it was predicted to take about 4 1/2 hours. But it took almost 7 because he found so much scar tissue there was just no way he was gonna leave it there. No half measures, get it? During our preop appointments, it became pretty apparent to me the extraordinary human that was going to be working on one of the most delicate parts of my body. The depth of experience is hard to match having done this operation 1500 times prior to my arrival. Where does that send my confidence level? I am at day 71 and the prediction is that the bones are fused at day 90 and I will start my physical therapy about two weeks after that. My healing process has been extraordinary but at the same time predicted as long as I followed all the rules, the Dr. Qureshi rules. A clear, clean, and understandable path towards success with a predictable and reliable outcome, is there anything more that we can ask for? I'm not blowing smoke here. My back was so severely injured I couldn't stand up without having massive shooting pains down both legs, and that pain was gone when I woke up. In about another three months maybe four I'll be trail running through the wilderness free as a bird. Thanks Doc, may you live a long and happy life, I know I will. read more
