Worst surgical 'care' experience. I was barely able to walk because of pain. I was assured by Dr. R & his assistant everything will be fine. When I woke up in recovery, Dr. R. Was mocking me about how much pain medication I needed. What kind of person does that? Then, he sends me home with 5 days of pain medication, after spinal fusion surgery. Then to be a maximum _____ , Dr. R calls my primary care physician and told him I was a drug addict. I went to the ER multiple times for pain management, and he never called me once after all those ER trips. Thanks Dr. R great job pal.

Dr. Rustamzadeh is an absolute miracle worker. My husband recently underwent spinal fusion surgery under his care, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. From the moment we walked into the clinic to the post-operative check-ups, the entire staff was incredibly compassionate, efficient, and professional. Dr. R's skill and expertise are truly unmatched. Not only did he successfully address my husband's spinal issues, but he did so with utmost precision and care. The facility was impeccably maintained, we felt very comfortable and trusted the entire process. We couldn't be happier with the treatment he received. Dr. R comes highly recommended in our book; he's a true lifesaver!

We cannot thank Dr. Rustamzadeh enough for the remarkable job he did when performing surgery on my father-in-law. The entire experience, from start to finish, was absolutely seamless and filled with expertise and care. Our family is beyond thrilled with the results, and we owe it all to Dr. Rustamzadeh's exceptional skills and dedication. We actually reside in Los Angeles but traveled to San Jose as we did not trust anyone else for the type of surgery my FIL needed.We were understandably anxious about the surgery my father-in-law needed. He instantly put our minds at ease with his warm, compassionate demeanor. He took the time to explain the procedure in detail, addressing all of our concerns, and patiently answering all of our questions. His communication was clear and thorough, making us feel confident and well-informed throughout the process.Dr. Rustamzadeh's team was efficient, and the hospital staff was incredibly supportive. The professionalism and attention to detail were evident at every step, creating a sense of trust and security. We felt like we were in the best possible hands.My father-in-law's mobility and quality of life have improved tremendously. Dr. Rustamzadeh's expertise and precision were truly outstanding. The surgery was a resounding success, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.Dr. Rustamzadeh continued to provide post-surgery care that was just as exceptional as the surgery itself. He closely monitored my FIL's progress and made adjustments as necessary, ensuring the best possible recovery. His commitment to his patients' well-being is unwavering.Our experience with Dr. Rustamzadeh was nothing short of extraordinary. He is a top-notch orthopedic surgeon who combines skill, knowledge, and compassion in a way that is truly remarkable. We are forever grateful for his expertise and the positive impact he has had on our family. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rustamzadeh for the best results and a seamless, stress-free experience.

I had a L5 S1 spinal fusion in 2014 this was my second surgery. The first was a micro discectomy in 2011 done by a different doctor and when the problem started again two years later he said there was nothing he could do. I asked for a second opinion and workman’s comp was reluctant to allow me another opinion. I coworker told me to see Dr. Rustamzadeh And I did. He looked at the MRI said you need a fusion and I can fix it. Well I have had 8 years of good living and still going thanks to Dr.Rustamzadeh. I wrote this review because I looked him up again to refer a friend and was very thankful a friend referred me to him many years ago. Highly recommend him.

He is a brilliant, professional, and excellent surgeon. My mother is an 80-year-old woman who had successful back surgery. There was no pain afterwards and no complications. 2 weeks later my mother was able to walk pain free, and it's been 4 weeks and still no pain. My mother highly recommend Dr Rustamzadeh, he gave my mothers life back.

I got an ALIF 360 spinal fusion on 3 levels done by Dr.R. This is the first review I’ve ever written about anything but felt a strong need to do so! I haven’t felt this good in over 8 years I was a complete wreck I couldn’t walk for to long, sit for to long, lift anything, or do anything without pain in my lower back my life was miserable…. I had exhausted all other options I did everything from physical therapy, to chiropractic, 8 rounds of injections in my back and nothing gave me any kind of long term relief, I heard about Dr.R gave him a call got an MRI done and he didn’t sugar coat anything he said “ your back is in bad shape and this is what you need done” so I went for it and now 8 months later I feel like a completely new man “ I HAVE NO PAIN ANYMORE” I can do anything!! At the most I’ll get a little soar but that’s it. Dr.R is a God Send

Wow wowI just want to thank Dr. R and Nicole. I couldn’t be happier. I was in a lot of pain for 30 days in bed couldn’t walk . I was very hesitant about doing the surgery. one of my friend did the surgery with him told me you’re in good hands, so he did the surgery I started walking with no problem same day after the Surgery . he definitely has the golden fingers . Nicole got it done in less than 10 days and I did the surgery and I’m very happy with it. Surgery was done at Los Gatos El Camino Hospital. I would definitely recommend Dr. R to all my family and friends.

DR R. ( as usually referred to ) and his asst Nicole are the best!!!I have been suffering from horrible cervical pain since 2013 having to take so much time off of work. I had to have major surgery to help fix the problem while other Dr's just wanted to put a band aid on it, per say.I already, which did Not help at all, had a first surgery by another surgeon which shall remain unnamedI completely recommend Dr. R and his staff to take care of you fully and correctly.By the way, this was a workers comp, which Nicole knows what she is doing and Dr R spoke with the qualified peer surgeon from the insurance to help expedite my surgery. I was in for surgery within two weeks. That is service!!!I would give 10 stars if possible.

Dr. Edward Rustamzadeh... where should I start? First off, I came to see Dr. Rustamzadeh all the way from Austin, Texas because I found him through my own research and he was one of the top 3 neurosurgeons in San Jose. I was desperate for answers after seeing no improvement from a failed L5-S1 Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) in Austin just 7 months prior. I continued to have debilitating pain that the surgeon continued to dismiss as just inflammation or sacroiliitis. He kept sending me to pain management for injections or physical therapy. The physical therapist told me that he was not comfortable continuing to care for me when there was something obviously wrong and encouraged me to seek another opinion. So, I began my research and found Dr. Rustamzadeh. I first flew out to see him on February 23, 2021. He reviewed all of my imaging and medical records, and most importantly, he did a thorough clinical examination. He asked me a variety of questions which he basically knew the answers from examining me. I was SHOCKED because FINALLY someone actually understood the pain and the challenges I was going through. He knew what was wrong with me, and he could fix it. He told me that unfortunately I had been misdiagnosed in Austin and that the previous surgery that was done was not what I needed all along. Instead of an L5-S1 ALIF, I needed an L5-S1 Posterior Pelvic Fixation which would address my Sacroiliac Joint Pain. I was in tears as I heard the news. Dr. Rustamzadeh was extremely compassionate and very supportive. He told me that he would take great care of me and get me back on the right road to recovery. I felt many emotions when I got the news but one of them was definitely relief to have a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan to move forward and get better. Nicole, Dr. Rustamzadeh’s medical assistant, quickly began all the paperwork with my insurance and hospitals to get me in to surgery. The communication and level of involvement from his office has been excellent. I had my surgery with Dr. Rustamzadeh on March 12th at El Camino Hospital. Everything went very well, and I was up and walking a lot the next day because I was feeling so much better already than before. At my 3-week follow up appointment he removed all the staples and told me that I looked like a completely different person. Three months later, I am walking A LOT. I now stand up straight instead of doing a crab walk. I can sit on the floor again and play with my daughter, and I’m slowly returning to doing the things that I wasn’t able to do before and after my failed ALIF. Dr. R recently cleared me to start Physical Therapy, and I will be doing that for the next 12 weeks. It’s a very long recovery when you have this kind of spinal fusion, but this time around hasn’t been so bad because I’ve been 95% pain-free!!! I am BEYOND THANKFUL for everything that Dr. Rustamzadeh and his staff has done for me. He has given me my quality of life back, after I had started to lose hope. I’m now living a pain-free life, and it’s only because of Dr. Rustamzadeh and his expertise. If you are in doubt about your situation, I would strongly recommend that you give his office a call and find a way to come see him. I am so happy and so blessed to have found him. I will definitely visit him again if the need arises.
