FIVE STARS

For years my lower spine had been deteriorating. Pain was a 24/7 experience for me. Then I met Dr. Qandah. Without getting overly verbose, I can say this, immediately after the surgery I simply could not believe the improvement! At a minimum, right off the table, the pain I was so familiar with was gone! Five stars isn't sufficient enough praise for what this man did for me! Thanks to both Dr. Qandah and his excellent team!

FREE OF PAIN

Dear Dr. Qandah:

I’m about two months out from surgery now, and the world has a different color. In fact, there are colors, which didn’t seem to be true before you did the procedure.

I just came back from a 30-minute walk with my wife. Then I went to the exercise bike and did another twenty minutes. Now, I’m sitting still and writing a letter.

None of this could have been done before you operated. I add to that that I am just about free of pain. I’m 73 and have arthritis in every bone, so I not scheduling any triathlons.

I can do things with my wife; I can do things with my life.

I can only say thank you and your staff for the brilliant work.

EXCELLENT CARE

Dear Dr. Nicholas and Juleen Qandah

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care you gave our daughter. We appreciate the prompt appointment and scheduling of her surgery to alleviate her back pain. She had such a difficult time with pain and with the other physicians she saw previous to seeing both of you. I’m so relieved she is recovering so well. Thank you for the excellent care!

THANK YOU

My husband has had extreme lower back pain that radiates down his leg. He has been unable to work for 2 years. We are so grateful to have found Dr. Qandah’s office! The staff is always pleasant, the assistants and Dr. Qandah are very caring. A pleasant benefit we don’t see often is that we never sit and wait forever at his appointments. We are in and out very quickly. All this AND Dr. Qandah has successfully brought instant relief to my husband’s back after having the Tiger Wood surgery. Something we didn’t think was going to be possible! We will be recommending Dr. Qandah and his office to anyone in need of his expertise! THANK YOU Dr. Qandah and staff!

IT HAS IMPROVED MY LIFE IMMENSELY

Our family has a history sciatica. During my collegiate and professional baseball career it would occasionally flare. About a year ago, it began in full force. For some time, I was nearly immobilized, compromising my work and entire lifestyle. After my initial laser treatment I noticed a remarkable improvement and after my second laser treatment I was “pain free” and have been for the past four months. Anyone who is suffering with a nerve malady should give Dr. Qandah’s laser treatment a try. It has improved my life immensely. – Jim LaFountain

FIVE STARS

5 stars is not enough for this team. Dr Qandah truly changed my life. I was in the worst back//leg pain of my life for a 29 year old and he completely turned me around and made sure and still makes sure he does everything possible to see me continue to strive for the better. He found problems that other doctors overlooked, I couldn’t trust anyone more than him. Not to mention he is the most genuine caring man and makes you feel so incredibly welcome and comfortable. Same goes for Alex and Kevin. Those 3 men together make the best team. I’ve never been more grateful to be where I am today. This review is not enough for how great they are. I will forever be thankful to be healthier and happier.

I never waited more than 15 minutes in the waiting room.

I CAN WALK AGAIN!

If you have ever had or lived with debilitating back/sciatica pain, you know it can take everything from you – EVERYTHING.
I was a very active person doing crossfit, hiking, biking and the occasional rock wall. And then I could do none of these things.

I got in to see Dr. Q in 3 days. He explained the MRI and my options and answered my questions kindly and honestly. The office is very efficient and Alex, his PA, is such a kind and compassionate soul.

I am now 6 weeks post-op from a lumbar fusion and couldn’t be happier. If I were allowed to jump at this point, I would jump for joy! My pain is gone and I have hope for the future. I will be forever thankful to Dr. Q for taking the pain away and giving me my life back. He is highly skilled, professional yet very personable, and we as a community are so blessed to have him here in our city!

AMAZING DOCTOR!

Dr. Qandah has been able to substantially reduce my pain after years of dealing with chronic back problems and a failed surgery. I was extremely sceptical of surgery after having a surgery by another doctor that actually made me worse. Dr. Qandah explained and his excellent staff explained everything to me and because of the severity of my back, I had to have two surgeries. I am now recovering and my pain has been drastically reduced and I’m not even done healing yet! Having always been very active, it is so good to be able to start going for walks again and enjoying life!

AWESOME!

I have been dealing with horrible back pain for years & I became very depressed. I was scared to death to get surgery out of fear of something going wrong or the surgery not being successful. After reading the reviews for Dr Qandah I decided to give him a chance & I’m so glad I did. I feel like a brand new person & I wish I did the surgery sooner!

LUMBAR FUSION

I recently experienced a 2 part lumbar fusion performed by Dr. Qandah. I am no longer having the pain in my back and left leg. I am a 71 year old female who would strogly recommend Dr Qandah and his staff.
