Thank you Thank you Dr Mesiwala. 48 years ago the only choice I had was surgery where they would fuse my neck vertebrae and wrap it in a cage. NO WAY With the skill of Doctor Mesiwala, his staff and today’s technology I now havShow moree full range of motion! And just 10 days after having my procedure done, I took a roadtrip through Zion,Bryce canyons, and Capital reef and on to Aspen, all the time being able to look “all the way” up, “all the way” sided to side and down with out pain or all the other symptoms I’ve lived with my whole adult life! Dr.Mesiwala is the best, from our first meeting I knew he could be trusted with my neck 100%. I’ve had such a miraculous change in my life. It’s like he opened a door full of fresh air into my brain and soul. Looking forward to having surgery for my lumbar stenosis and throwing away my mobility device soon.
Blessed to have had Dr. Mesiwala do the disc replacement in my neck; and thankful he will be doing a similar surgery on my lower lumbar along with the possibility of Sacral fusion.. his staff is stellar, the Dr himself is amazing,Show more he takes the time to explain things, answer questions and readily offers options other then surgery where at all possible. Highly recommend Dr. Mesiwala and staff to anyone in need of a great Neuro team

Reviews
Dr Mesiwala, will take the time to answer all my questions. Office staff is very nice
He explained things to me that made me feel confident in him if I do surgery
I was involved in a car accident and injured my back. Dr. Mesiwala did a great job of describing my injury and explaining why I felt the way I did. Then he referred me to all the necessary treatment and care. Made me feel I was in good hands.
Very skilled Dr. Staff commitment to excellence minus a star..lol
Dr Mesiwala is one of the most kind, caring Dr’s I have ever met. No one EVER wants to have surgery, but EVERY step of the way Dr made me feel safe and protected, on top of the fact that he is truly one of the BEST there is in his field!! I have and will continue to recommend him to all my friends and family! Heidi
Staff was very nice. Less then 10 minute wait time. Really liked Dr. Mesiwala. Really looked in depth to help my situation. Very professional and knowledgeable. My appointment was worth the long drive.
Very fast response and caring.
Dr. Mesiwala spent extra time with me and recommended no surgery with such detail that I understand why I’m not a great surgical candidate at this time. He’s not a surgeon who will operate on every patient he sees, which I believe to be a big consideration when determining whether to have or not have a huge surgery such as a fusion or a disc replacement.
I’ve been seen by Dr. Mesiwala twice; then he reduced days in Rancho Cucamonga to once a week; now does phone appointments for RC. I like the doctor but wish he were local and available for office visits here.
Fantastic, professional environment. Outstanding results. I did my research and visited 4 separate locations/surgeons who went over my surgical needs. DISC was by far the best place I visited and their success rate was off the charts. Dr. Mesiwala and his staff are the absolute best!
Muy atento el doctor y personal amable

Dr Mesiwala was caring, took his time and Super knowledgeable.
Dr Mesiwala was amazing!! Fast, efficient and very clear about the interpretation of my MRI results. Also gave me a great plan of recovery. Great staff too! I would 100% recommend Dr Mesiwala! :))
Caring and professional
Was super clear and concise in explaining my condition and my available options, and patiently listened to everything I said and answered all my questions. Dr. Mesiwala is super kind and understanding and I am grateful to have met him.
Dr Mesiwala is brilliant, compassionate & attentive neurosurgeon. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my neck surgery performed by Dr Mesiwala. He conducted 2 level Fusion & 2 Disc replacement, the results are great. I am able to walk now normally. Dr Mesiwala took the time to listen to my concerns explained the procedure thoroughly. I went to the surgery with confidence & secure. I highly recommend him.
The office and medical staff are all very friendly and helpful. It is a pleasure seeing them. Dr. Medals himself is great. Both my wife and myself feel much better about my upcoming surgery after talking to him. He explained everything to us and even showed us MRI photos. My doctor highly recommended Dr. Mesiwala and I completely agree.
Very competent and compassionate—the perfect combination for the best possible physician.
I have seen several surgeons for my severe pain after exhausting all conservative care. So far all contact with Dr. Mesiwala and his staff has been simple, accommodating, extremely caring and thorough. I have complete confidence for my upcoming lumbar surgery.
