I have DDD and OA. I've been a patient of Dr. Ani for 12yrs and thru 6 surgeries including spinal fusions, carpal tunnel and shoulder surgeries. In every case he I came out of surgery quickly, vastly improved and pain-free. Every issue was successfully corrected. Although his staff in general are good there are some that are excellent and incredibly helpful and some, no-so-much! Further, wait times can be 15mins to 2hrs - good to unbearable. BUT! The bottom line is that his staff doesn't perform the surgeries - isn't that what's really important?

I have been a patient of Dr. Ani's for nine years. Dr. Ani has performed 9 surgeries on me , including, three spinal fusions, one cervical fusion, one carpal tunnel surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery and partial knee replacment as recently as three months ago. My surgeries have been successful and Dr. Ani has given me much more qulaity of life than I could have imagined before the surgeries. I am 57 years old and have severe spinal degenerative disc disease and several other orthopaedic problems. I woudl highly recommend Dr. Ani. Besides his expert surgical ability, he is kind, informative and answers any quesions I may have. i feel that he always looks out for my best interest. Dr. Ani's reception and medical staff have gone above and beyond the call of duty when attending to my needs and concerns and they have advocated for me to my insurance company and other resource providers on several occasions. I cannot say enough positve things about Dr. Ani and his staff

Dr. Ani has preformed four procedures on me: Rotator Cuff in each shoulder, Meniscus Cartilage left knee, and decompression of the spine and spinal fusion of L4 and L5 vertebra. Since the final procedure was the most serious and also the most recent, I will use it to provide my comments concerning Dr. Ani's capabilities and demeanor. His capabilities can best be sumed-up by saying that I was pain free and up and walking about within 24-hours. After physicial therapy, pain free I now visit the gym three days a week for a workout, which includes the treadmill(three miles)and abdominal crunches. Through all of these procedures Dr. Ani has always been positive and supportive and made certain that at all times I was fully aware of the procedures I was undergoing. His staff was always pleasant, cheerful, helpful, efficient and prompt. Need I say more? Robert Love

I have Degenerative Disc Disease and Arthritis. I've had 3 back surgeries (two were fusions) and one shoulder (massive bone spur). Dr. Ani performed all four, each of which brought immediate relief. I had no post surgery issues with any of the surgeries (including infection) and my POST-Surgery pain levels where minimal and significantly better than the pain level I was experiencing PRE-Surgery. Visiting nurses providing at-home wound care, were amazed at the visibly clean, uniform and skillfully closed incision site, a "professional job". With different nurses every day, several nurses recognized wound as the work of Dr. Ani a reputation well deserved. I would rate Dr. Ani's work excellent, have highly recommended him in the past and will continue to recommend him.

I would trust my grandson in his care. The treatement I received before, during and after surgery has given me a wonderful outcome and changed my life that I didn't believe I would get back. Outstanding bedside manner. Dr. Ani's skills, and those of his associates, instill confidence in his patients and their abilities and experience gave me peace of mind that they could successfully complete my treatment and surgery and put my mind at ease. He is responsive and always available for questions and takes the time to explain procedures in plain language so they can be understood by anyone without a medical background. His office is well run, efficient and knowledgeable in all areas of care including insurance, disability, and follows up on a same day basis. I strongly believe this group can help anyone I care about and would not hesitate to send them.

After my third back surgery I insisted their was something wrong and did a mri, Dr Ani said it was nothing to worry about, I took the same test results to a New York doctor and had my fourth surgery because my spine was collasping. I would not be walking if it was'nt for a second opinion.

My diagnosis was missed by this dr. Another specialist found the problem so I rapidly left this practice. Extensive physical therapy ordered which I was unable to afford. All in all, I would not recommend this group for diagnosing after what was missed on my problem
