I have been with Doctor Naraghi almost 2 years! He's been heaven sent. I'm reading all of the lower star reviewers comments, and honestly, this Doctor is a ten star doctor of spine care. I don't believe the wait times are that bad. If they are, Doctor Naraghi, is worth the wait. I've seen some some really terrible doctors in the same building, and waited longer to see them, and they did absolutely nothing, and did NOT care either. Doctor Naraghi is a specialist in high demand, honest, caring. He's definitely on top of the spine surgery game. I'm very thankful as an athlete, gym goer, and gym rat for Doctor Naraghi. I've learned more in one visit at Doctor Naraghi's office, than any other spine care doctors office in 10-15 visits. Doctor Naraghi, is an effective communicator with a memory of an elephant. I guarantee visiting, and with Doctor Naraghi, you will definitely get better over time. I've had the one surgery, on my spine. I'm definitely doing better than I was. I have a really horrific situation, and Doctor Naraghi is sticking with me. Doctor Naraghi, was upfront, honest, candid and straightforward about my results of the MRI I had. I didn't understand why it was happening to me. But, it did. I'm sticking with this doctor until I'm confident I cannot get any better. The most beautiful thing about Doctor Naraghi, is his warm spirit, his smile, and communication skills! I wouldn't go anywhere else. I've never had a Doctor so loving, caring and knowledgeable. I thank goodness for him. read more

Absolutely amazing spine Dr . I have had multiple visits with Dr. Naraghi and his staff . Top of the line equipment, Rockstar patient care and so detailed and patient oriented that you know you're valued and the number one priority . Everyone there is super nice , very thoughtful and knowledgeable. He is the very best at what he does and so is his entire team . Thank you Dr Naraghi a million times over . That's not even to mention how well the procedure actually works . I was suffering beyond anything I've ever been through . I literally rolled out of bed every day and crawled on the floor for over 30 minutes before I could stand , I couldn't stand or walk longer than 10 minutes before the pain and complete numbness took away my ability to use my legs . I literally thought I was going to end up in a wheelchair permanently. (This is not an exaggeration) I was terrified I would lose my job and ability to walk . Then I was referred to Dr Naraghi , he spared no expense and effort to identify and address my problems . We started with the simplest and non invasive procedures and started working our way up . Yes eventually I will need complete disclosure replacements in my last three vertebrae, but not yet , thanks to his expertise and amazing team . I go in every 4 months and get epidural injections on both sides of my spine (temporarily but wonderfully) these have all but eliminated my symptoms. I can work 12 hour days , walk unassisted all day , I can work out ( moderately) play with my kids and take walks with my wife . I got my life back and while Dr Naraghi was giving me my life back , he and his team have been ultimately kind , caring, insightful, laser focused on me when I'm there and so supportive. Thank you , thank you , thank you read more

Fred Naraghi, MD - Me healing after my spine surgery getting better slowly day by day thank you Dr Naragih. - Orthopedists Near Me - Klamath Falls, Oregon

Dr. Naraghi is an amazing doctor. He is the kindest man I've ever met, and that kindness translates into in-depth care. Dr Naraghi advocates for alternative solutions before settling on surgery, a relief when compared to others that might jump straight to an invasive procedure. When it came time to discuss surgery he was clear, descriptive, and laid out all the possibilities in outcomes for me. He performed a 2-day procedure to install a spinal cage and remove two bad disks with expert skill and believed in me every step of the way. Thanks to Dr Naraghi, I have my life back. I am forever grateful for this wonderful doctor. read more

I don't know what we would have done without Dr. Naraghi. We always felt we were in the right hands, he knows how to explain the details of the condition and surgery. From the very first appointment, I trusted Dr. Fred with my husband's life and our future and he didn't let us down. Yes, there are waits for your appointments, but he takes his time with each and every one of his patients. Be patient. You want him to take his time with you as he does with his other patients. He's worth it. Thank you Dr. Fred! read more

Dr. Naraghi is the best spinal surgeon in southern Oregon! Being up to date on the latest procedures, he was able to determine a spinal surgery that resulted in correction of my spinal stenosis without fusion or an extended healing period. I was back at work on my stonework projects and all my normal demanding activities, after only 4 months post-op! I'm 60 but, thanks to the Lord and Dr. Naraghi, still going strong! Thank you so much! read more

I am a RN/Nurse Case Manager working with Injured Workers in the Worker Comp arena in California. Dr. Naraghi is a beautiful person and one of the VERY few doctors out there these days that live up to the Hippocratic ideal of what a Healer IS. Not only is he an EXCELLENT Clinician for Disorders of the Spine, but he is truly compassionate, gentle and respectful with my patients that I bring to him. BUT - he can balance that with being a straight-shooter and tells people what they need to hear - to change - to grow - no matter how hard it may be for them to hear what he may say. Simply an awesome Man, who happens to be a doctor, who happens to be in the SF Bay Area - the most beautiful place on Earth. THANK YOU Dr. Naraghi for bringing your gentleness, knowingness, and loving kindness to our world. May you be Always Blessed, MaryAnne P. read more

I've been a patient for over 2 years already with Dr. Naraghi for a L5-S1 disc injury. He's one of the nicest, most caring doctors I've ever had and I really feel that he's on my side. Not to mention that he is of course extremely professional and knowledgable in all related areas--diagnoses, available treatments and medications. The only negatives are: expect a long wait time to see the doctor once you arrive, even if you have an appointment, you could be waiting for an hour or more. Also, it may be hard to get an appointment in the near future so you need to book far in advanced. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Naraghi for several years. I've had many surgical procedures. He had great bedside manner. His office in the other hand has been chaos. Major turn over in staff which results in many errors with paper work and long consistant wait times. Zero empathy when trying to figure out what is going on. My injury occurred at work. I have a lawyer. During the initial intake his office was very attentive. Post surgery was a different story. I was told to go to pain management. Paper work was not submitted to my lawyer. Leaving me in terrible pain. I've made several calls to his office only to be ignored. I've been left to deal with tracking down paper work etc. My pain level is horrible post surgery. I've been given the brush off with no contact from the office. I would not suggest this office. Sadly an unpleasant experince. read more

He did my initial and final QME evaluation. I went to see him last May 31st for my final QME and I could honestly say that Dr. Naraghi is a doctor with INTEGRITY and COMPASSION. It took me a while to finish the paperwork and he was kind and patient enough, as always, to wait for me to finish it. He did a thorough assessment and his bedside manner is exceptional! He is honest and respectful. I wish there will be more doctors like you!More power to you doc! read more

Thank God for Dr. Naraghi. He saved my husbands life. Dr. Naraghi was being very realistic with us when we first saw him. My husband had a 50/50 chance if he could walk again. After my husband's back to back 2 surgeries totaling 16 hours and months of physical therapy my husband is able to walk again. I truly believe Dr. Naraghi is a heaven sent angel from God. read more

Dr. Naraghi is a sweet doctor who knows his stuff. Yes, they overbook, but there is a trick. Always get you appointment as early in the day as you can or as late in the day, so you don't miss too much work. He is conservative, which I love. I don't like cutters who just want to cut. Nope, Dr. Naraghi wants to try everything he can BEFORE recommending surgery. I have been with him for over 2 years and the only reason it has been this long is because the workers compensation insurance company is denying therapy. He finally was able to get me PT, so my stay with him will hopefully be shorter than another 2 years. read more

Week 3 Post surgery/ Dr Fred Naraghi Operating Doctor. There are no words to describe this amazing Doctor! I have had 5 prior surgeries on different parts of my body and this last surgery was performed by Dr Fred Naraghi- hands down the absolute the best care I've ever received pre and post surgery in my entire life ! Dr Naraghi is extremely knowledgeable in not just pertain to my neck but also about other health related issues that might affect the neck - Dr. Naraghi is so professional, very caring and so thoughtful ! Dr Naraghi made himself available to me and to my family during and after the surgery and never failed to answer the phone or text , almost on the spot ! Dr Naraghi is impeccable at what he does, to Dr. Naraghi I wasn't just a file, a patient, or an injured person , he treated me like a human being who's hurting and needs help ! He listened to me and reacted in an appropriate manner, he didn't promise and not delivered , in fact he realistically promised and over delivered ! The cut on my neck looks amazingly clean cut and blended very well with my natural lines (neck ) After surgery I felt immediate relief and the meds he administered to me during and post surgery were just right, not less not more! I pray that no one I love will suffer any pain but if any of my children or loved ones needs a doctor I will absolutely recommend him to treat them! Thank you for all that you do Dr.Naraghi and I pray you will always be healthy to continue to help people in need to get better ! Warm regards, Ivo Khoury read more

Even though Dr Naraghi is very professional, the clinic and the waiting is pretty bad. I went there twice, and both times I've waited there for an hour an a half, sitting down in a hot waiting room, which by the way makes my back worse. For some reason it's ok for them to charge $50 no show for same day cancellations, but they can waste your time at no cost. On top of that, they ask you to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. read more

I had a very bad lower back injury that was work related and I was referred to see Dr. Naraghi for treatment. My lower back injury was extremely painful and most of the time I was immobile due to the severe pain. I couldn't stand for more than a few minutes at any given time. After many treatments with Dr. Naraghi he recommended that the lower disc be replaced. I knew that the procedure was needed and I always knew that I was in the best of hands with Dr. Naraghi. He went through the steps with me what was going to be done and I had the surgery. The procedure went extremely well as I knew it would. Dr. Naraghi is an exceptional doctor performing true miracles. My miracle is that I am now back to my normal life. I am PAIN FREE. YES PAIN FREE. Dr. Naraghi brought my life back. I am now very careful with my back now that I know that our backs are so important to everything that we do in our daily lives. I honestly believe that if I didn't have Dr. Naraghi for my doctor that my back would have never been corrected. I can't praise this doctor enough for all his work and talent. I was blessed to have the best and my life is again restored. Thank you Dr. Naraghi GEORGE ABREU JR read more

Dr. Naraghi seemed like a good doctor when I initially met with him, but his office is a nightmare--so much so that he's not worth the effort. I've seen him in the past and looked forward to the next appointment. I called several times to book the next appointment and left messages (because only rarely does anyone even answer the phone). Most phone calls just go directly to voice mail with no return call. I finally was able to book a follow-up appointment, for which I cut my vacation short and flew into San Francisco. On my way to the appointment I hit a bit of traffic, so I called to let them know I'd be five minutes late. The receptionist said "but the doctor isn't in today." I said 'What do you mean? This is definitely the right day and time. Am I not on the schedule?" She said (again), "The doctor isn't in." I said "That's not what I asked. Do you mean I'm not on the schedule?". She said "Your appointment was cancelled. No one called you?". Not sure if he simply blew off the appointment and the receptionist tried to cover for him, or she just didn't call me to cancel. That's how it goes at Dr. Naraghi's office. If a doctor allows this kind of lameness from his office staff then I'd rather not have him operating on my spine. read more

I have seen DR Naraghi a few times to deal with my neck pain. Dr Naraghi is very nice and explains the issues very clearly. Other Drs told me I have to have surgery, but DR Naraghi recommended against it and by following his instructions and exercises I got better and now I feel very good. Thanks Dr Naraghi read more

Dr. Naraghi is what all doctors should strive to be: Brilliant, patient, kind and caring, thoughtful about your symptoms and treatment options. I would not trust any other doctor with my spine, whether you end up needing surgery or injections. He is never rushed. He is up to date on all the latest and most effective treatment options for spine injuries and chronic pain. He's my husband's doctor and has also been the doctor for many other people I know. read more

I can not say enough about the care, concern and follow up I have received with Dr. Naraghi and his staff. I was nervous, but any time someone is "playing" in my spine makes me nervous. This was a removal of wires and battery with an installation of a different type. The surgery was twice as long but that was because he was taking the time to do it right and to keep me walking. All you need (or don't need) is a whoops, you are no longer walking. He also had me stay in the hospital longer than planned but that was because he did what was best for me, the patient, and not what the hospital wanted to do. Send me home before I was ready. I was at St. Francis Hospital in San Fran. And again the best of care. His staff have been so wonderful to deal with also. They call me to keep me updated on what's going on. (appointments, making sure I'm doing okay, "checking in", and I know I can call them and they WILL get back to me. I'm not just some number or diagnosis but I'm who I am, a person. They know ME by my name and how refreshing that is. Dr Naraghi has a rare talent for a doctor. He really listens and really hears. Answers all questions and he make sure you understand what he is doing. If I ever need more surgery, I will have him as my doctor. You can NOT go wrong with him on your team! I thank Dr Naraghi and his trusty staff from the bottom of my heart. read more

The office staff has gotten better about returning calls and they are good with following through with needed paperwork.

Dr. Naraghi is the best!! His expertise, knowledge, and professional manner is worth coming to San Francisco for. Since I have been his patient, I have hope clarity and he will always be my doctor! Received the best treatment! And he is accredited by the better business bureau read more

Dr. Naraghi is an amazing healer, plain and simple. First of all, he was genuinely grateful for me having come to see him. I love seeing a doctor of such great talent and expertise show so much respect for his patients. He then listened to my concerns with great attention, never once rushing me or hurrying off to the next patient. He was present with me and my back concerns the way any great healer is. Above all, he understood what the problem was and came up with various possibilities and game-plans to resolve the issue; and he explained everything in detail so I was in complete understanding. This man is an excellent doctor and I recommend him to anyone with a back concern; in my case tailbone. read more

This is an update from my previous review. I finally able to see him yesterday. He is very nice, caring, and really took his time to check my back injury. This 5 stars is for him. Highly recommend for others who needs a spine surgeon. read more

Dr. Naraghi operated on my broken ankle (several broken bones with one bone broken trhough the skin) . I am a senior citizen and had real fears about walking normally again. So here it is four months later and I'm walking like a pro for miles at a time. Doctor Naraghi is the best orthopedic surgeon I could have hoped for! read more

I came to Dr Naraghi after a work-related spine injury, and after my initial workers comp Doctor couldn't do anything more for my worsening back, leg and nerve pain. (For many weeks, I couldn't stand upright and was bedridden) The idea was that I was a prime candidate for an L3L4 discectomy, even though I was terrified of back surgery. When I explained this fear to Dr Naraghi, he insisted we would try everything else first, and expertly guided me through alternative treatments to surgery. I saw 2 chiropractors, 4 physical therapists, another orthopedic surgeon, had an epidural injection, and finally had acupuncture. Through all of these ups and downs, Dr Naraghi answered all my questions with patience and insight. He listened to me and explained all of my treatments as they were underway, and guided me through the healing process, always ready to adjust my plan as my condition fluctuated. He guided me through my return to work and as I gradually reclaim my life. If you've ever had to deal with workers comp you'll appreciate how efficiently his office gets approvals for what Dr Naraghi and I thought was needed. They took care of all the paperwork and explained everything to me as necessary. They worked directly with my job site, making sure all the paperwork was in order. On top of that, to a person, every body is efficient, professional and very courteous. I really enjoy seeing each person when I visit! I can highly recommend Dr Naraghi and his staff. read more

After receiving less than satisfactory post-follow up care from a Neurosurgeon in San Jose for a cervical fracture. I took matters into my own hands and self-referred myself to see Dr.Naraghi after a colleague recommended Dr.Naraghi. Cherrie, Dr.Naraghi's receptionist is a blessing in disguise. She is diligent and welcoming. She responds to all my concerns and requests in a timely and efficient manner. Karen is kind and sweet. Always returns my messages and passes my concerns to the appropriate individual in a timely manner. Unlike most doctors who rush you out the doctor after 10 mins and sends you out the door with a Rx. Dr. Naraghi takes his time to go over your diagnosis and makes sure to address any issues or concerns I may have. Dr. Naraghi makes himself available to his patients and never leaves you hanging. Most importantly, this is a man who has a heart of gold, he has your best interest in mind and will do what he can to support you. My utmost recommendations goes out to Dr.Naraghi and his team. I am very grateful for everything Dr. Naraghi and his amazing team, Cherrie, Karen, Reggi has done for me. If only Dr. Naraghi was my primary ER surgeon. read more

I had severe myelopathy after consulting with several surgeons all of them wanted to fuse my neck and screw in metal plates to secure my neck from ever moving again this meant I would lose all range of motion and subsequently my job since it is required for me to be mobile.I was extremely depressed unil a friend referred me to Dr. Naraghi. After careful consideration he agreed to do a two level cervical disc replacement which at the time was not common at all with this new device.He too was skeptical about doing this but understood that I was still young and how devastating it would be to lose my range of motion for the rest of my life.to make a long story short he did very difficult task of installing these artificial discs on two levels.and now four years later going on five years I have had no issues I cannot even tell I have had any surgery except for a slight scar on my neck I still continue to have great range of motion . I must say I owe Dr. Naraghi so much for understanding my concerns and having the skill and ability to do something that most surgeons were very reluctant to do. He is highly skilled and compassionate to each situation. I would never recommend anybody but Dr. Naraghi as he can attest I have referred several people his way. Again thank you Dr. Naraghi you are the best in my eyes. read more

I have worked with Dr. Naraghi for non-surgical back issues over the past 2 years during my recovery from work related injuries. He is an extremely sensitive, caring physician. He always puts you, the patient first, and goes above and beyond to do what he can to help you think through your options. read more

I have seen Dr. Naraghi regarding my neck pain 3-4 times. He is very polite and respectful and really takes time to explain the cause and solution. I have seen three other doctors before this and they were all very vague and did not take time to explain the cause and remedy. Dr. Naraghi recommended steroid injections and my neck pain is almost gone. I would recommend Dr. Naraghi to anyone having neck/back issues. read more

Dr Naraghi has my highest recommendation for his magical ability to help my back heal. I had a severe herniation in my L4-S5 disc which squished my entire nerve in the right leg and was shooting 9-10 level pain down my entire leg. It got so bad that I couldn't stand or walk. Dr. Naraghi was able to perform the surgery just after a few days of my last biggest flare up and i was able to stand up and start walking the next day! It's been a month now and I am feeling better than I felt the entire year before surgery which makes me so happy! Dr. Naraghi is always available to his patients spending as much time as needed to answer all the questions and provide the comfort necessary. I would not go to any other doctor to handle my spine! Thank you so much, Dr. Naraghi! read more

I went to see Dr. Naraghi on the recommendation of a friend after seeing my surgeon. The first surgeon I saw wanted to do a major procedure and after speaking to Dr. Naraghi we agreed that it was to invasive and developed a different plan. Unfortunately my insurance wouldn't cover it. But after seeing the AME and being deemed a work related injury, Dr. Naraghi was able to perform the procedure. He made me feel at ease unlike the surgeons at Kaiser and treated me with the utmost respect and compassion. I am so lucky to have found him and I could not put into words how much he has helped me both surgically and emotionally. He helped decide the best approach and helped reassured me continuously. He is the kindest Doctor I have ever dealt with and without a doubt the most caring. Now I am in a much better situation due to the help of Dr. Naraghi. I am afraid to think of what almost happened and can not thank him enough for all his care. If you,ever have the chance to use him as your doctor I strongly recommend him and could not think of a more caring, kinder, knowledgeable and wonderful man and surgeon as he. Thank you Dr. Naraghi for all you have done for me. read more

After hearing from my previous doctor that my pain was a chronic condition and nothing else could be done, I decided to look for a second opinion. Dr. Naraghi was recommended to me by a very good doctor whom I trust. Dr. Naraghi was very through in his diagnosis, requested the necessary exams and was able to figure out what was really causing my pain. After evaluating the possible alternatives and making sure that all the more conservative treatments were tried first, he recommended a spinal fusion. I was very worried about having this surgery, but Dr Naraghi was great at explaining the procedure in details and answering all my questions. I trusted him and decided to undergo the spinal fusion. It was a major surgery, I had two days of surgery and was in the hospital for a week. Dr Naraghi and his team took very good care of me, he was very present during the entire process always making sure I had the best possible care. I believe Dr. Naraghi is one of the best doctors I ever met. Dr. Naraghi is very knowledgeable, talented and technically capable, but at the same time he is not cold, proud or arrogant like so many doctors out there. Dr Naraghi is compassionate and really cares about his patients. I had my first spine surgery at UCSF (which is considered one of the best spine centers in the country) but the quality of care I received from Dr. Naraghi was superior in many ways. I strongly recommend Dr. Naraghi to anyone looking for a good spine surgeon. read more
