Dr Keshavarzi is an amazing physician. I went to him for second opinion but then decided to use him for my fusion. He is knowledgeable, informative and assuring in his approach. He explains completely and does not rush thru the appointment. His staff are pleasant and have a caring attitude. Chelsea his PA is awesome too. My surgical experience was made stress free! As a critical care charge nurse, i highly reccomend this physician and his team.

I am a 49 y/o male who suffered from a a herniated disc which got progressively worse over a 20 year period of time. In 2018 I spent 4 days in a hospital in Canada being jolted continuously by the disc pressing on my nerves, I realized I had to look at more serious corrective options once again. I visited Dr. K in mid 2018 and he recommended XLIF surgery (a less invasive form of fusion). Given the bad rap fusion has, I decided to take a conservative approach once again and see if I could make progress, knowing full well that if I didn't get back to where I was before the hospitalization I would go with Dr. K's recommendation. Over the next 6 months my improvement was slow and I was still limited in my activities. I decided to visit Dr. K once more and let him know my decision to get surgery. He was thorough and detailed in his explanation, empathetic with my concerns, but transmitted confidence in the end result once the issue was corrected. The surgery was scheduled for 08/02/1

I had several conditions clustered near my L5 and L4 that progressively deteriorated after my 68 birthday. I experienced a crippling sciatic pain in my left leg, developed a noticeable limp, and my daily activities became significantly affected. Dr. Keshavarzi explained what he could do to alleviate my condition, advised about the risks involved in the surgery, and gave me time to decide what was best for me.
The surgery went well. All my symptoms have disappeared.
I thank Dr. Keshavarzi for his skill and bedside manners. I strongly recommend Dr. Keshavarzi to anyone needing to repair their back/spine. I trusted my future to him, and he did not disappoint me.

Dr. Keshavarzi is an excellent and compassionate surgeon with a very confident and calming demeanor. He explains the procedure in detail and listens for any concerns without demeaning any frivolous questions I may have. Best of all, he solved my bothersome herniated disc and had me back to normal in no time.
I would highly recommend him for any neurological procedure he would advise.

I felt safe with someone who knew what he was doing. I think he takes pride in what he is doing and cares about his patients. We are just not a number to him.

Dr. Keshavarzi was and is like a breath of fresh air in Bakersfield. I am grateful for his vast experience and ability to methodically diagnose. I came in with a 26 year back damage, pain and a failed surgery. His plan and surgery were executed well and six months later I have recovered.His kind and thoughtful communication with me and my family went above and beyond expectations. His bedside manner is superb.

He repaired a disc and inserted a plate in my neck. I had bone spurs that were touching nerves every time I moved that sent excruciating pain up the back of my neck in to my skull. He completely eliminated that for which I am forever grateful. My scar is minimal and I am a very satisfied patient!

Dr. Keshavarzi is exceptional. After reviewing my MRI, Dr. Keshavarzi showed me the problem areas of my spine, and explained in terms I could understand exactly where my condition was at the present, what could happen if left untreated, and what he could do to help. The decision was mine to make. I am glad I decided to have the surgery, and highly satisfied with Dr. Keshavarzi's skill as a surgeon.
