I had two back surgeries by Dr. Mkrdichian separated by 11 years. In both cases, I had GREAT results and was able to return to a full range of work and fitness activities. I literally travelled the world after recovering both times. In the second case, which was more complicated and serious, Dr....

My experience was great. The surgery was successful and I am pain-free. Dr. Mkrdichian was excellent. I would recommend him to anyone who needs back surgery.

De. Stadlan performed emergency surgery on my spine 4weeks ago and he saved my life. He sis a wonderful human being and an expert in his field.

Staff did not attempt to get clearance from the insurance company for an MRI despite my insistence that I had extreme new pain. Feeling no resolve - I saw an alternate physician who's staff was able and will to get MRI clearance one day later. Needless to say my faith in this practice plummeted ....

Dr. has taken care of our daughter since 1993. She had a medullablastoma when she was 19 years old. We thank God everyday that he put Dr. Mkrdichian in our path. He is an amazing, brilliant and compassionate physician. Our daughter is 42 years old now and has Masters in Education. Thank you Dr....

I just had my second neck surgery with Dr. Stadlan, and I was a candidate for an artificial disc. He is straight forward, and tells it like it is. He is a very renowned nuerosurgeon and I highly recommend him!

Amazing professionalism and results. He checked symptoms that others didn't and was able to find a better and faster solution. He took the time to explain to me (the patient) and my family what he was going to do and what he did. Very pleased!

Dr Stadlan is hands down the best neurosurgeon out there. He not only explained what my particular problems were, but he put them in terms I could understand. After realizing that my problem was an emergency, he sent me in immediately for blood work and scheduled my surgery for 72 hours after my...

I needed a nerve decompression at L5-S1 and spinal fusion at L4-L5. we consulted with 3 surgeons. Dr. Stadlan was patient, as I had lots of questions, compassionate, and explained in detail what he would do. He did not push me to choose him.

I had L5 removed by another doc. 2 years later, my back hurt again. By luck, I met Dr. Stadlan. He was like 26 or something. I asked if he'd done any of these before. He laughed and said They make us do a few before they let us be certified neurosurgeons. He went in and discovered the other doc had...

I selected Dr. Stadlan after meeting with 5 neurosurgeons. He was the only one to examine me first and then ask questions. Dr. Stadlan successfully performed cervical disc fusion on me in 2009 and then in 2013 for an adjacent disc.

Had an appointment scheduled for over a week to review severe back pain. I received a call the day before my appointment saying he was cancelling to take on another patients' surgery and could not make time for me for another full week. I explained that my pain was severe and could he please fit me...
