Michigan Head & Spine Institute

Run ????? don’t walk. This person Daniel Fahim doesn’t deserve the title of Doctor. I was assigned this person after a catastrophic auto accident. My spine was fractured in multiple areas. He did outpatient spinal surgery on my spine. The surgery experience with him was horrible, almost worse than...

Dr. Jacob removed a large right frontal lobe tumor that had pressed into the left side of my brain. He had come highly recommended by family and also by the neurosurgeon I saw at another hospital. He explained the surgery and it was scheduled 2 weeks after the initial consultation. I was...

Cocky, arrogant, non-caring, ego maniac. NEVER met someone who cares less about his patients and more about his ego. After he performed a major surgery and someone comes back 6 months later complaining of pain, you’d think he’d do a MRI or X-RAY at the bare minimum. Instead his reply was “there is...

Horrible experience, Fahim performed my surgery last November and I was worse after the procedure. Just had another surgery with a different surgeon on March 21,2019 n to remove hardware and correct what Fahim had done to me.

I am 81 years old and was told by a couple of surgeons there was nothing they could do for my very painful back. I was referred to Dr. Fahim who took a look at my MRI and CT. He told me he could fix my back and performed a Laminectomy and spinal fusion on my back on August 20, 1918. The surgery...

I was sent him after a car accident. Said didn't finding anything different about my spine. I already had a previous cervical and Lumbar Fusion by another surgeon that retired. Said I was fine, even though I couldn't feel my feet and legs. NEVER GUESS, there's actually something wrong with my...

I waited weeks to see him. Then hour in office. I was dismissed by him. He told me he did not want to hear about a recent dental infection that I have that started my new numbness, pain, and weakness. He said hyperbaric oxygen therapy was "voodo". He didn't want to follow up, didnt not order any...

I had a CPA meningioma measuring around 5 *2 *4 cm and had terrible trigeminal neuralgia pain. I was going to a different neurosurgeon for a very long time and I came to Dr.Jacob to get a second opinion. He had the best bedside manners and he patiently answered all our questions. He was able to...

Dr. Jacob is brilliant! I recommend to everyone I know that needs a good Neurosurgeon. He is smart, great bed-side manner, and the best hands-down. I cannot say enough.

53 weeks ago, Dr. Fahim did a Mobi-C cervical disc replacement between C5 and C6. Yes, the first 3 weeks were not pleasant, the fourth week was noticeably better, and ever since I've had no issues. I have full mobility in my neck with no loss in range of motion, and I haven't had any of the pre-op...

Dr. Jeffrey Jacob, Dr. Dejan Slavnic, Dr. Mike Lawless, Rebecca Doherty, NP, Jessica Townsend, PA: I have listed each of you so that everyone of you know that my appreciation is meant for all of you. I had surgery in August, 2018, to remove an AN tumor. I had an outstanding outcome. Thank you,...

Don't trust this doctor . We had a very bad experience with him. He gave us false hope and made false promises.

I came home with an infection from the hospital. Told him I was run ing a fever & he did nothing about it. The fever last over 6 months. My other doctors told me it was Dr Fahim who was responsible and he needed to medicate me. They didn't want to be responsible for what he did. So for 6 months I...

Compassionate, caring and skilled physician. Cared for my brother at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.

I went to him for a 2nd opinion and spoke for about 10 minutes with him and his PA. I will say both were kind, polite and very well spoken. I was very impressed with the explanation of my MRI and education on the type of surgery he would perform. The office staff was very kind and caring too. I am...

Very rude and careless about his patients. Did not take more than a few minutes with me and did not care enough to answer any questions. All he did was reply with are you gonna do the surgery or not, which made me question his intentions. Did not feel comfortable and never went back to see him again...

When I was diagnosed with a meningioma of the spinal canal, I was shocked and scared! I had discomfort and pain for almost a year before a doctor ordered a MRI exam - and there it was, very clear. Dr. Fahim was one of two surgeons I consulted, and I liked the way he explained the problem, the...

Dr. Jacob successfully removed an acoustic neuroma. Before the surgery, he spent the time to discuss my options, explain the procedure and answer all of my questions. The surgery went as planned. Dr. Jacob spent time in the hospital and in a follow-up appointment to explain how the procedure went...

I would highly recommend Dr. Fahim. I am so pleased with the result of my neck surgery. There was so little pain after surgery and recovery has been great. He answered all my questions throughout the entire time, before and after surgery. After a couple of initial consults regarding my surgery,...

He is not the surgeon that did my surgery but due to that surgeons death I have been sent to him. He seems to be very knowledgeable however, he has a sense of arrogance. I was very please to find out my tumor had not returned however, he talked down to me and made me feel because my MRI was good...
