Edward Rustamzadeh's Online Review Report Card

He is a brilliant, professional, and excellent surgeon. My mother is an 80-year-old woman who had successful back surgery. There was no pain afterward and no complications. 2 weeks later my mother was able to walk pain-free, and it's been 4 weeks, and still no pain. My mother highly recommends Dr. Rustamzadeh, he gave my mothers life back

Where to begin.......I had terrible sciatica! After physical therapy, injections, pills and other things that brought no relief; I found Dr. Rustamzadeh .He performed an outpatient surgery and 1 day later; I walked 3 miles. I was 69 years old at the time. I had a car accident injury in 2000 that broke my neck and crushed 2 discs in my neck. Last year 2022 I started having pain and found out the old surgery needed some stabilization. So, Dr. R. performed what needed to be done. Today 2/02/2023; 90 days later my neck brace is off and everything is great. I would never have a procedure with anyone else. He is the best!!!!His staff is great too.

First of all, I don’t understand why there’s not 5 star rating. I was suffering from horrible middle back pain and I couldn’t do my usual activities, I could never get comfortable or pain free ever. I was so angry and annoyed everyday, I didn’t even want to talk to anyone not even my family, just very agitated. When he found out what was the problem which was multilevel thoracic herniated discs. The doctor told me if I didn’t get surgery then I would end up paralyzed. The herniated discs were compressing against my spinal cord meaning I had numbness, tingling down my arms and legs, I could barely hold onto anything anymore, very shaky hands, burning back pain non stop. The doctor was very straight forward with what he had to do which I loved because all the doctors I’ve been to said “oh there’s nothing wrong, you don’t need an MRI, it’s all in your head, just sugar coat everything” this doctor is awesome. Very straight forward, caring, listens etc. The doctor did disc removal and then did spinal fusion to stabilize my spine. I was terrified when the doctor told my mom and I what was going on and that I had to have surgery. I did not know what to say, just very shocked and I’m sure the doctor knew how I was feeling. The doctor was very patient, caring and kind to me when I didn’t say anything or I didn’t know what to say. The moment I first met the doctor I instantly knew he was the right doctor. I am happier now, not in pain anymore, I can live my life smiling. He gave me my life back, and as much as I thank the doctor, I hope he knows how much I appreciate him. He definitely didn’t treat me like another “case”he treated me like any doctor should treat their patient which is with concern, patience, respect, and kindness. Now Nicole is kind, caring, patient and funny. She got my surgery date and everything approved and set up within 10 days. I never had staff and a doctor who is this amazing. Again thank you!! ~Natalie Lawson

Wow wow I just want to thank Dr. R and Nicole. I couldn’t be happier. I was in a lot of pain for 30 days in bed couldn’t walk . I was very hesitant about doing the surgery. one of my friend did the surgery with him told me you’re in good hands, so he did the surgery I started walking with no problem same day after the Surgery . he definitely has the golden fingers . Nicole got it done in less than 10 days and I did the surgery and I’m very happy with it. Surgery was done at Los Gatos El Camino Hospital. I would definitely recommend Dr. R to all my family and friends.

I can not express what a great experience I had so far, Dr Rustamzadeh is very knowledgeable and caring. He took time to explain to me whats going on and answered all of my questions. Office manager Nicole also is super awesome very nice and helpful. Highly recommended.

I got an ALIF 360 spinal fusion on 3 levels done by Dr.R. This is the first review I’ve ever written about anything but felt a strong need to do so! I haven’t felt this good in over 8 years I was a complete wreck I couldn’t walk for to long, sit for to long, lift anything, or do anything without pain in my lower back my life was miserable…. I had exhausted all other options I did everything from physical therapy, to chiropractic, 8 rounds of injections in my back and nothing gave me any kind of long term relief, I heard about Dr.R gave him a call got an MRI done and he didn’t sugar coat anything he said “ your back is in bad shape and this is what you need done” so I went for it and now 8 months later I feel like a completely new man “ I HAVE NO PAIN ANYMORE” I can do anything!! At the most I’ll get a little soar but that’s it. Dr.R is a God Send

Dr. Rustamzadeh, the owner of Premier Brain & Spine Institute, has sued me for posting critical and negative reviews regarding his treatment of me, claiming damages of $500,000 and punitive damages. See Santa Clara Superior Court Case No. 19CV351955. I am not the only former patient of his who was very dissatisfied with his care/service and posted a negative review. He has sued some of his other former patients for their negative reviews. See eg., Santa Clara Superior Court Case Nos. 19CV352550 and 19CV341018. This guy is trouble with a capital "T"

Words can not say enough....thank you Dr. R for giving me my quality of life back after 2 years in misery. Thank you and kudos to Nicole who is a true GEM in his office. She was excellent in getting things done quickly from scheduling, insurance, to terrific communication!THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

This dude rocks! We found Dr. Rustamzadeh when looking for a 2nd opinion. For over two years my wife has struggled with nerve pain and she had been treated for pinched nerves in the back. Dr. R- took one look at the failed treatments and asked the obvious question - has anyone considered the possibility of a misdiagnosis? "You're getting treatment for a back problem, but it's not working - maybe it's not the back."That right there is what sold me on this guy - instead of continuing down the safer established path, he had the common sense to question the diagnosis before proscribing treatment. He examined her, asked a few questions, and ordered a diagnostic procedure that confirmed a problem with the SI joint, not the spine.A week after that my wife went thru SI surgery and is mending wonderfully, this is the best she's felt in years.Dr. R- knows his stuff, he has great judgement, and doesn't mess around. Can't thank him enough!
