Benefits of MIS

Dr. Moghimi and his staff are first class in their care, expertise, and results. He is conservative and very informative in the most innovative techniques to help with pre and post surgery care. I would highly recommend him and his team (PA, nurse, Xray techs, and office staff) to anyone seeking the best possible care.

Surgery went as expected. I felt immediate relief from my old pain. I’m looking for these smart Drs. to figure out how to do back surgery w/o creating new pain. I was happy with the Northwest Hills Surgery Center—all of my village there were very professional. I’m a happy camper.
