PAWEL P. JANKOWSKI, MD REVIEWS

I recently had a 3 level fusion with 2 alifs with Dr. Jankowski, and I feel like I won the lottery in terms of my care and medical team. I don't live in Southern California and I feel like both Paritash and Dr. Jankowski accommodated all my appointment and scheduling needs. I couldn't believe how fast my nerve pain went away after surgery, and I was amazed at how speedy my recovery was. I'm grateful for everything that was done for me and would highly recommend this team to anyone who suffers from back problems.

Dr. Jankowski performed C1-C4 fusion surgery on my upper spine this summer. It went extremely well. I have no pain and I do have a bit of rotational ability in my neck. It was a very difficult procedure that he performed exceptionally well. Dennis Malone.

Dr Jankowski and assistant, Paritash, were great! They fixed my back problems although the recovery was fairly extensive. I'm extremely pleased with the results and having placed my trust in Dr. Jankowski and team.

FARZAD MASSOUDI, M.D., FACS REVIEWS

I had surgery with Dr. Massoudi two years ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Massoudi is an excellent surgeon, and he truly took the time to explain everything to me, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. His surgical coordinator, Sherry, was fantastic as well—she was always there to answer questions and keep everything organized, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I’m so grateful for the care I received from Dr. Massoudi and his team, and I highly recommend them.

Dr MASSOUDI is one of the best surgeons with wonderful attitude .. he saved me from all my pain and suffering 3 years ago .. he did my triple cervical infusion and been under his care until now and finally graduated from his practice today .. I have recommended him to anyone that has crossed my path past few years with neck and back pain .. Thank you Dr M. For being the best in what you do.

I suffered for decades with severe back pain and tried to avoid surgery as much as possible. On September 2025 I finally made the decision to move forward with the surgery procedure. It has been 5 months since I had my surgery. I’m so happy with the results. I feel like I am in my twenties. Dr Masoudi and his team were great. I am truly grateful for his work and his dedication. I highly recommend him.

JASON LIAUW, MD REVIEWS

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Jason Liauw and his exceptional team for the outstanding care and expertise they provided during my husband's back surgery. From our very first consultation, Dr. Liauw demonstrated not only a deep knowledge of neurosurgery but also genuine compassion and patience in explaining the procedure and addressing all our concerns. The entire team was highly professional, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process — from pre-surgery preparations to post-operative care. Thanks to Dr. Liauw’s skill and dedication, my husband’s surgery was successful, and his recovery has been remarkable. We truly appreciate the personalized attention and reassurance that made this challenging experience much easier for our family. We highly recommend Dr. Jason Liauw to anyone in need of a neurosurgeon. His expertise, kindness, and commitment to his patients are truly outstanding. Thank you, Dr. Liauw, and your team, for giving my husband a new lease on life!.

Dr. Liauw is a very professional and excellent neurosurgeon. He has a wonderful bedside manner and he really cares about his patients well-being. I cannot recommend a better neurosurgeon, he completely fixed my neck with artificial disks (due to a cervical fracture being ejected from a car accident) and the result is beautiful! His staff is also very accommodating and helpful. Hella the surgery coordinator is wonderful and so easy to communicate with, I started this journey with Dr. Liauw in February 2020 and then Covid happened which caused a delay. I kept in touch and once I was ready they worked hard to get my surgery approved, I really can't thank Dr. Liauw and his office staff enough.

I am so thankful that Dr. Liauw performed surgery on me back in January for an issue I had with my trigeminal nerve. He was professional but also very caring. The surgery was successful and my pain went away immediately.
