Dr. Salari and his team were all very nice and attentive. I am glad I decided to get the injections in my lower lumbar. I haven’t felt so much relief in years. I can actually sleep peacefully without tossing and turning and adjusting all night because of the tingling and numbness I had before. I pray that it last awhile. Thank you Dr. Salari. I am very pleased with outcome.

Fantastic doctor with a great team around him. Kind and caring. He took the time to explain surgery that I needed in detail to myself and on separate occasions to several family members. He was patient and answered all of our questions. He settled our fears before surgery. Years of pain gone! Thank you Dr. Salari!

I recently was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis and visited three different spine surgeons for their opinion. All suggested surgery and after much research, I went to DISC (Desert Institute for Spine Care) and Dr. Nima Salari. I'm very active at 72 and wanted to best, which I most definitely got with Dr. Salari. The entire staff is caring, proficient and excellent at their jobs. After only six weeks post surgery, I feel great and can resume most of my normal activities. Highly recommend DISC and Dr. Salari.

Dr. Salari performed a MIS TLIF on me (L4/L5) late in 2018. For the first time in over 10 years I was finally pain free. I had put this off until I could not take the pain any longer. I am glad I waited until minimally invasive surgery was more prevalent in this area. Dr. Salari is an amazing surgeon and I highly recommend him.

ABSOLUTELY! I have already recommended him and D.I.S.C. to friends and family. In addition to Dr. Salari, the D.I.S.C. business office is extremely professional and compassionate. Because we had to go out-of-network, they worked with us on how to best address all our financial concerns and barriers. You guys are ACES!

Excellent - Dr Salari is the best spine surgeon ever. I am impressed at the treatment I received from Dr.Nima Salari along with his PA Nicholas Davis. They are extremely knowledgeable and treated me like I am their friend. I had a fusion and decompression on my lower spine on 3/11/19 and was pain free immediately and walking in a matter of hours after the surgery. I highly recommend Dr Salari to anyone in need of spine surgery. I am looking forward to my remaining follow-up appointments with Dr Salari and Nicholas Davis. Thank you for all you've done for me!

After suffering with lower back and left leg pain for eight months I found Dr. Salari and he performed spinal fusion to L5-S1. That was six weeks ago. I was almost immediately pain free and could walk and sleep again.
Dr. Salari is not only an excellent surgeon but also a remarkable human being. Thanks to Dr. Salari and his team I got my life back. I highly recommend him.

After delaying this surgery on my part for two years it was time to have it done. After my surgery I was amazed how I felt. Some pain the next two months however compared to the sciatic pain I had it was a good pain. I’m hoping I can resume golf in the near future. Surgery was performed January 3 2019 so we’ll see what Dr. Solari has to say 30 April . Overall Dr. salari and his team members did a fantastic job and I am spreading the word to my old friends about him.

Dr. Salari is very knowledgeable and professional. I had severe low back pain. I could not stand for more than 10 - 15 minutes. He looked at my MRI and said he could do surgery and help me. I went ahead with surgery and I am now pain free. Thanks.

He is my hero. I had chronic lower back pain for 2 years. I had surgery October 25, 2018, and was and am completely pain free. From my first appt. at the office, I was treated with the utmost respect from the front office right through to Dr. Salari himself. I recommend this practice to anyone I meet that is experiencing any type of back discomfort.

I spent seven months sleeping in my recliner because the pain in my lower back and leg would not allow me to lie down. The DISC Institute was recommended by an old friend. Dr. Salari performed surgery on the 3rd of January 2019. The issue is resolved. I have nothing but the finest comments and recommendations for Dr. Salari, and all of the staff at the Desert Institute for Spinal Care. Special kudos to Norelle, and Nick as well. Thanks again to all.

Dr Salari is incredible. His staff goes over and beyond. My wife just had a back surgery. We had issues with Cigna about codes from the MRI. He was in direct contact with them and had everything taken care of prior to surgery. But, I also have to acknowledge the Neurophysiologist, Nikita who works with Dr. Salari. She made my wife feel very comfortable about her surgery.

Not only do I think he is a remarkable surgeon, I think he is a remarkable human being. He did my cervical surgery and will next do my lumbar surgery. Wouldn't think of going to any other surgeon!

Dr. Salari has taken care of me, my son, and friends of ours. We have only great things to say about him, his PA Nick, and his staff. Dr. Salari takes the time to explain the issue and the reason for the problem. He also prepared us on what to expect after the surgery. The results have been fantastic.

I feel very fortunate to have found this place last year I was in such excruciating pain with a herniated disc I finally went in and saw them on a Tuesday and they got me scheduled for surgery on Friday! Which I thought was amazing. Dr. Salari is the best, very compassionate, caring and understanding.

Excellent physician. Fantastic team work. Life changing! Dr. SalarIi ordered a ct and found the fracture of L3 that the source of my extreme pain. I was discharged from Shea hospital unable to walk after a fall from a ladder. The hospital failed to find the fracture. It’s been 4 months and am once again walking and regaining my strength through conservative therapy. I am so grateful Intregrative pain management referred me to Dr. Salari!
