I have had an eventful medical history for chronic conditions since 1980. I am a longstanding patient at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Had it all, lung cancer, chemo, radiation, and neurological disease, etc. This is the first time I have self-initiated a review of a physician.
My wife has suffered chronic, debilitating lower back and leg pain for several years as well as MS. Conservative treatment proved no longer effective. The pain would bring her to tears. Dr. Zahrai in a two hour, small incision surgical procedure provided immediate and what appears to be permanent relief. My wife went from intractable pain such that she could not even move herself in her pre-op bed to 100% pain free immediately after surgery in recovery. The nerve that was impinged was as Dr. Zahrai said, "now free as a bird".
I have no doubt there are other orthopedic surgeons in the area who possess the same surgical expertise and can achieve the same results. But what impressed me and prompted me to write a review was Dr. Zahrai's genuine care and concern for my wife. He really cares about who he is dealing with, not just what he does. He's a very talented surgeon who also happens to be a great guy who speaks to you as if you were his friend. His practice is limited to spine surgery, and if surgery is one of your options I believe Dr. Zahrai merits serious consideration. read more
