I had a microdiscectomy and hemilaminectomy in 2016. Two days later I landed up in the hospital with a flare up at the same spot. All post-op tests and MRIs came back negative and the surgeon who operated on me at the time asked me to give it time to heal. I have been in pain ever since and it has been a nightmare not having answers to my pain. Dr. Naseef was recommended to me by my general physician apart from my pain specialist and three other friends. I decided to meet him. He looked at my latest MRI images very carefully and thoroughly, and told me that there is a residual fragment of the herniated disc left from the last surgery that caused the flare ups post-op. Additionally, he told me that I have arthritis of the spine. I, finally, got answers and closure. He will be my spinal surgeon for all my spinal issues from now on. I can’t thank him enough for being so thorough and analytical in his approach. I’m, currently, undergoing physical therapy upon his advice. Excellent surgeon.
