Board-certified neurosurgeon Ali H. Mesiwala, MD, FAANS, takes a solution-based approach to determine anatomic and functional abnormalities and then treats them with leading-edge technologies and integrative medicine.
At his four offices in Newport Beach, Marina del Rey, and Rancho Cucamonga, California, he focuses on helping all of their patients return to their normal lives, getting back into motion as quickly as possible.
The team treats a vast array of neurological conditions. After intensive neurological exams and diagnostic testing, they recommend the best nonsurgical treatments for each person's unique health care needs. They recommend surgery when symptoms are severe or persist despite conservative care.
Patients seek Dr. Mesiwala for his expertise in brain and spine surgery, as well as peripheral nerve surgery and artificial disc replacement surgery.
He's an expert in complex brain and skull base surgeries, and he has the most experience in artificial disc replacements on the West Coast, including multi-level operations and all types of spinal decompressions.
Dr. Mesiwala is a leader in the field of minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint surgery and has performed endoscopic cranial and spinal surgery since 2004. No matter where pain originates, patients get relief after he performs neuromodulation surgery.
After earning a Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering and electrical engineering from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Mesiwala received his Doctor of Medicine from the University of California, San Francisco.
Then he finished his neurological surgery residency at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.
He completed his skull base and cerebrovascular fellowships at the University of Washington, International Neuroscience Institute in Hannover, Germany, and the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
As a respected researcher specializing in the development of novel technologies and minimally invasive techniques for brain and spine surgery, Dr. Mesiwala holds multiple patents for medical devices used in spinal surgery.
In addition to his private practice, Dr. Mesiwala is the faculty surgeon for various artificial disc operations and spinal fusion operations with innovative techniques. He's a fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (FAANS).
Dr. Nita Chen is a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders. Dr. Chen received her medical degree from Albany Medical College in 2017. She then completed a neurology residency at UC Irvine (2021) and a movement disorders fellowship at the University of Florida (2023). Throughout her training, she has developed a special interest in Parkinson’s Disease, Dystonia, and Deep Brain Stimulation. What she loves most about these areas is how treatment and technology meet to provide an individualized plan. Dr. Chen uses her love of art to connect science with humanism and is known to use illustrations to demonstrate concepts of disease and treatment.
Outside of the role of neurologist, she enjoys gardening, making ceramics, and exploring local crafting festivities. In another life without being plagued by sea sickness, she would be a marine biologist. For now, she’ll settle for her cat (Glia) who is reportedly known to act like a shark at times, or a puffer fish.
