Dr. Hanel saved my daughters life…she was life flighted to Baptist downtown after having a massive seizure with skull and facial fractures, brain bleeds, midline shift and no neurological response….she has had a miraculous recovery and it’s not over yet! All thanks to this man. I will forever be grateful to him and his team. Thank you Dr. Hanel for everything. You are absolutely amazing.

After meeting the Dr and staff I feel very confident that I will be taken care of. Their show of concern for me was apparent. They answered all my questions and were very thorough. I feel that I am in good hands. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

ALI CHAHLAVI, MD, MS REVIEWS

I had an excellent experience at Dr. Chahlavi’s office. The front office staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming, making the entire visit smooth and pleasant. Dr. Chahlavi himself was a pleasure to see—his bedside manner is outstanding, and he truly takes the time to listen and care for his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor!.

Excellent results!!! I am pain free. Two surgeries. C4, C5, C6, C7. And L5-S1. I highly recommend Dr Chahlavi. His staff was excellent with the care from beginning to end. He did my husband's back surgery, and my neighbor's neck surgery which were also successful.

Dr Chahlavi has an excellent bedside manner. I’m very pleased to have him for my second surgery; the first time he performed my cervical fusion. Very personable as well.

ERIC MATTHEW GABRIEL, MD REVIEWS

Dr.Gabriel is so kind. I was sent to him by pain management to place a pain pump. He talked me through the whole procedure, and calmed all my fears. He took great care of me, and he even took my calls after hours. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs care of a neurosurgeon.

Dr. Gabriel was very pleasant and professional. He evaluated my MRI disc and took the time to show me the images and explained my treatment options in terms that I understood. I enjoyed my visit.

Dr Gabriel is one of the best Docs I've ever had. I've had many back related surgeries and my experience with him and his people has always been at an excellent level. I have also worked with Melanie for many years and would give her my highest level of recommendation.
