Years of Surgical Experience

Real Patient Testimonials

"Dr Tohmeh is the best surgeon I have seen since I injured my back in 1988. I would recommend him to anyone who has ever had a back pain problem. He treats you like a person not just in how many patients he can get through in a day. He listens and talks to you about what you are going through with your back pain. Highly recommended."

"It's been some time, 15 years give or take, but I chose Dr. Tohmeh for my laminectomy as I had heard he was the best. I did, and still do, believe that! After surgery, I felt ready to get up and dance! OK, it took me a few days but I felt soooo good I forgot all about PT (but I heard about that later on....). Now I hear my niece has a similar issue and I am so happy to hear she has chosen Dr. Tohmeh. I may have to see him again in the future, and you can count on it that I will chose him!"

"Using XLIF procedure, Dr. Tohmeh did a decompression and fusion of L4-5. Pain is gone and my back once again feels normal. I was skeptical of back surgery after having read the horror stories on the internet, but you can mark me down as a believer in Dr. Tohmeh. He is a fine surgeon, and my outcome is evidence of that. Before this surgery I could hardly walk across a room without buckling in pain. Now, five months after the surgery, I'm out mowing the lawn and pain free."

"I was suffering with horrible back, extremity pain & numbness, and was unable to find answers with other physicians. Dr Tohmeh listened, saw I definitely had neurological issues, took the time to compare slide by slide, the multiple MRI's taken in the course of 4-6 weeks. He called and told that he "now knew" exactly what was happening, and yes, he could help. I have had WONDERFUL results long-term. You couldn't find a more qualified and caring physician anywhere. HIGHLY recommend him!"
