He did back fusion surgery across 3 segments as well as revisions to a a previous L2-L5 surgery performed about 7 years ago. This was a major task taking 5-6 hours
It has been less than to weeks since surgery and I am up walking 6000 steps a day, with no would seepage and minimal pain. I thought the first surgeon 7 years ago was great but Dr Salari is much better

Salari is an amazing doctor! I had suffered from severe lower back pain for over a year before the blessing of meeting Dr. Salari. The prior physicians I had seen seemed to have very little interest in helping me. One of them even told me that "you are young and healthy, why don't you focus on the good days". Well, the "good days" was not going to pay my bills when my pain was disabling me from working, driving or being able to move at all. Dr. Salari was the first person who took the time to thoroughly help me understand my condition, what my imaging actually meant and what impact a previous surgery had left on my spine. After discussing alternatives (which was also nice, I was never told what to do, I was given OPTIONS) Dr. Salari ended up performing an ALIF surgery on me. I felt like I got very best care possible. The procedure was surprisingly "pleasant". The post-op care has been everything I could ever have asked for.

Five years ago, Dr Salari did surgery on my lower back relieving me of excruciating pain. Prior to surgery, he was thorough and patient with me explaining every detail of my proposed surgery. I was completely satisfied. I recently started having some pain in my lower back. I called for an appointment and was able to get in within a week. Upon arrival at his Scottsdale location, his very friendly and competent staff took good care of me. Dr Salari was again very thorough in showing me and explaining what was shown on the MRI and x-rays. In addition, he expressed his sincere condolences on the recent loss of my husband. My only complaint was the mandatory mask requirement. I highly recommend Dr Salari.

Dr. Salari was very helpful in explaining the procedure I was undergoing, the effects, the recovery time, everything! His assistants, Nick and Rick were just as helpful. The only downside to the office as a whole was the interval between calls and return calls. But that's an organizational issue, aside from Dr. Salari.

Dr. Salari's diagnosis and explanation of options was excellent and easy to understand. My daughter, located on the east coast, was included via FaceTime which I found reassuring as she had her own questions which Dr. Salari answered thoroughly. Based on that appointment, I will be scheduling surgery shortly. I'm not only impressed by Dr. Salari, but also his PAs and staff. I feel that I'm in good hands!

Dr Salari and the staff at DISC are second to none. Everything went very smoothly. Explanation of procedure was very clear and easily understood. Procedure and staff at the hospital were excellent! Post Op meetings have been great and very informative. I recommend Dr Salari and his staff to anyone that requires a procedure on their spine.

Very efficient office with Xrays taken on site & immediate results. PA is both affable and very knowledgeable. Dr Salari is an excellent surgeon. I had a laminectomy with fusion. It’s been 6 months and I’m back to my normal routine. Highly recommend.

2 nd visit after spine surgery and Dr. Salari took time to discuss moving forward. I always enjoy our visits because we are not rushed and he makes sure I understand our conversation.
