This doctor from Syria is crabby. Him and his team are among the meanest and money hunger animals alive. Please take your time with your research including the mugshot.

I had a spinal fusion l4 and l5 in 5/2014, , immediately after surgery I knew something was not right because I was told I would be able to go home same day. But when they woke me up in recovery I could immediately tell I was not going home, the pain was excruciating and I told the nurse there is no way I could go home. She said she would have to call the D rand it was up to him. Told her I don't care what anybody say I will not be leaving with the level of pain am feeling. Needless to say I spent 2days in hospital and still I did not want to be discharge but was told chance of infection will increase the longer I stayed.so I agreed to leave. For 3 months it seemed ok, but then my back pain got worse. I had told Dr Z nurse from the beginning when getting authorization from insurance for surgery, if they are not going to cover the cost of surgery that I will not do it. Because I am on Social Security and do not have any means to pay Dr. So of course they tell you it's all set and schedule surgery. Now here I am 3mos later and still in pain. I was given my pain meds. By my 6mo follow up, here comes billing telling me they could not schedule me for visit until I made a payment arrangement for services the insurance did not cover. Apparently, this Dr was not even in my network and he did not get paid fully. I was on the Health exchange with Atena when it started. So they knew from the beginning they would not get paid fully. I got a bill for $147,000. Plus dollars, laughable! Then I got a bill for $3000. Plus and one for $481. For services apparently for pre testing before surgery. Now the 2smaller bills are on my credit report but the large one somehow never made it on the report and to this day I don't get billed. It's now 12/2017 I am still in pain management. This Dr have a lot of successful ssurgeries but what about patients like me where it was not successful and I know I am not the only one they did this to. When you can't pay the Dr they will not schedule an appt to even let the Dr know the situation. You become a number to these people. But the Dr have an office manager that I spoke to about being denied an appt because I could not pay those bills. It's a shame how they cut you open and operate, then dismiss you when you can't pay. So basically I was just practice for his minimally invasive surgery.

I was almost totally disabled before surgery! Could not sit to eat and get in a car. Since the surgery no pain! And was in China on business 2 months after at age 76.

In 2013 I went to Celebration Hospital emergency room in terrible pain. I could not sit or stand in one place for more than 15 minutes. The doctor sent me to Dr. Zahrawi. Dr. Z said I needed surgery ASAP. On 3/7/13 I had lumbar surgery. I followed through with all of Dr. Z's instructions. To date I am very thankful he gave me back my "active" life. I will never forget what he did for me. He is the best!

Over the course of 4 years I have had the need to have 3 separate surgeries to solve cervical and lumbar issues. Dr Zahrawi and his staff are always extremely professional, kind and thorough. I have always attained terrific relief with Dr Z's good work and was back on my feet and back to work in no time. I have referred patients and highly recommend he and his team! The team has been very accommodating as well as I travel from out of town, an need to coordinate travel, etc

I've had 2 spine surgeries performed by Dr. Z. He knows all there is to know about these procedures, and will take great care of you. His staff is awesome and they always respond to inquiries and phone calls. You can count on them to perform a successful surgery.

Doctor Z is the best, it's been 6 months since my surgery. L4,L5 & S1 needed to be fused. That same day I was up and about without any pain. I would recommend this excellent staff for any back pain challenges you maybe suffering from.

When I came to Dr Zahrawi I was in excruciating pain I had been getting spinal blocks for 3 years which had stopped giving me many much relief. I had pain going down into my hip that caused me problems with sitting, walking, riding in a car, exercising and pretty much any other activity I wanted to do. I am 52 years old and have always been very active and played sports throughout college. When I first came to see Dr. Zahrawi he looked me and said you are to young to suffer with pain like this and I can fix your back and get rid of your pain. And that is exactly what he did! After surgery the first step I made there was immediately no more pain in my hip! Dr. Zahrawi absolutely has given my quality of life back. At 9 months post surgery I still have a little pain in the surgical area where the bone grafting is healing but I'm sure that will continue to heal and get better. I am pretty much doing any activity that I want to do now and my kids tell me " Moma has a new back". Thank you Dr. Zahrawi for you wonderful skilled hands of healing and I know that God has blessed you with this gift and sent me to you for this wonderful new leaf on life!

Whole process was very good, except for the billing, as I paid the amount of my out of pocket maximum prior to surgery, but continue to get bills in the mail. As far as Dr Z and his staff, they were great.
