My name is Carlos Franquez, I'm 38 years old, very active, very healthy with no medical conditions. However I was suffering from back pain for about 3 months. I went to different doctors without any of them offering any real help or relief. I was fortunate enough to come into contact with Doctor Ghostine.
As soon as he saw me and my MRI, he determined that I needed surgery. Even though he usually books patients 3 weeks in advanced he made it possible for me to have my surgery in about a week after our first appointment. I am so thankful for him and his staff. Surgery went great, I have no pain, I felt that I received the best care in the world and that i was treated with the upmost respect.

My family and I are very thankful of everything Dr. Ghostine did for me.

We need more people like him in the world. Thank you Dr.

Dr. Ghostine is incredibly caring and knowledgeable and will only do surgeries that you absolutely need. He did my back surgery. I was in so much pain, I couldn't walk without excruciating pain radiating down my lower back and legs. After the surgery, it was like a miracle. Immediate results! If I ever need back or neck surgery, again, I will certainly use Dr. Ghostine. He is also very caring and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Samer Ghostine!!!

After 9 yrs of constant lower back pain, My insurance company sent me to Dr. Ghostine in Riverside, CA. Totally trusted him from the minute I met him. My surgery was 10-9-2014 at Riverside Community Hospital. Took a little longer than what we thought it would , there was more damaged to fix. Leg was numb, sciatica was permanently pinch, it just hurt to walk.
After 5 years of steroid shots I just did without any type of shot or therapy. Then I finally got insurance and the referral was for Dr. Ghostine. It's been 7 weeks since surgery and I have amazed my family and friends and My Doctors how well I am doing and there is not alot of pain anymore. I thank God for the Day I met Dr. Ghostine and for the guidance you gave him during surgery.

Dr Samer Ghostine operated on our son for emergency brain surgery. He was so compassionate and knowledgeable. He spent time with us after the surgery explaining the details and we felt he was personable and approachable. Today we had an appointment at (UCR Health) his office and our wait was less than 5 minutes! We highly recommend Dr Ghosting and is staff, we are so grateful for his expertise. and bedside manner...

After suffering with severe sciatica for an extended period of time, and winding up using a walker, I met with Dr. Ghostine. He provided me with very clear, understandable options. Following his recommendation, Bi-Lateral Laminectomy, I left the hospital on day 2 following surgery, with absolutely NO sciatic pain. I'm now walking well, and on my way to returning to playing golf.

There is nothing but good thing to say about Dr. Ghostine. He was very kind from day one. He made sure my family and I were calm and prepared for what was to come. He performed a back surgery on me and executed it very well. Before this surgery i was not able to stand or feel my legs and was in severe pain. Dr. Ghostine took the correct actions and successfully restored my ability to walk, feel and took care of the pain. I am very pleased with his work and how caring and attentive he is. He visited me everyday after my surgery and checked up on me. He is by far the only doctor to do this for me. He is an excellent surgeon.
