Rishi K. Goel's Online Review Report Card

Very personable.. explains everything clearly in terms you can understand. I had crushed vertebrae and in alot of pain, he put in rods and screws and after a little time building strength back up 100% pain free. My only regret is I took so long to get the surgery done.

Appointment didn’t last more than ten minutes (not an exaggeration); did not do a neurological exam; arrogant, surprised when I knew something about my own back; wouldn’t listen to me; assumed I was seeking surgery (even though I assured him I didn’t want more surgery; complete waste of time, pointless appointment.

I had a minimally invasive fusion done on my back. I went home the next day with zero leg pain! Could not have gone better, plus he took the time to explain everything to me and go over my MRI with me so I knew what he was going to do in surgery. I felt that he really listened to me and took the time to explain things.

I came into the hospital and I was not able to walk. I also could barely move my arms. Dr. Goel saw me in the hospital and showed me my MRI. I had a large disc in my neck pushing on my spinal cord. He operated on it, and within a few weeks, I was able to walk again! My arms also feel great. Without him, I don't know if I would be walking today.

Iv had to actually see a therapist die to the way he treated me a d my awful experience with him. I ended up wkth c5 pulsy a d he never even saw me to discharge me with being scared to death and a paralized arm.. I will not speak for another person and her name but sje is no longer here to speak for herself as well. Please not to trash him, just because when we are going in there we are trustimg them woth our life and health. Please see someone else. Its 2 years later i had to get it all fozmxed with an ansolute wonderful dr who was there with me through every min. Chevked on me twicce a day. Im in a lot of pain but fixed and god sent me a great surgent this time. Please do not go see goel.

Dr. Goel did my surgery some time ago. I never took the time to write a review, but I wanted to now after a friend of mine had surgery done by another surgeon and had a completely different experience than me. He had a spinal fusion and was in the hospital for days with so much pain. For me, I had a minimally invasive fusion. I only had a little pain from the incisions and was able to leave the hospital the next day. I can walk and do all of my activities without any difficulty. Seeing my friend going through his experience really reminded me of how lucky I was to have surgery with Dr. Goel.

I was having really bad headaches for a long time. My doctor ordered a head MRI which showed that I had a brain tumor. I met with Dr. Goel, and he explained everything to me. I had surgery, and he removed the whole tumor without any problems! My headaches are completely gone and I feel great! Best doctor!

My mother unfortunately suffered a large brain stroke with bleeding. She was brought to the hospital where she had to have a breathing tube. Dr. Goel was there in the emergency room and took the time to explain everything to us. When more of my family came, he met with all of us and took the time to go over everything again. He visited with us everyday to make sure my mom and family were ok and took great care her.

I was having trouble using my hands. He showed me my MRI of my neck and that my spinal cord was compressed. I had the surgery and not too long after, my hands came back to normal! I had no more weakness, or numbness. Great doctor, he really helped me!

I saw this doctor as a second opinion from another Neurosurgeon. Unlike the person I saw initially, he spent time with me in the office and answered all of my questions. He showed me my MRI and went over all of it with me and then explained the type of surgery that I needed. He was also able to do it in a minimally invasive way, and I was able to leave the hospital the very next day with no pain! I would recommend him to anyone!
