Dr. Parviz Baghai, MD

I was referred to Dr Baghai by a trusted friend, and I decided to go with him. Dr Baghai simply, has the hands from God. I can now live a relatively normal life. It's been 3 months since my neck surgery, so far so good.

I found Dr. Baghai very nice and knowledgeable. I read the other reviews and just because he doesn’t joke around or brag about his accomplishments doesn’t make him brusque. He answered all my questions honestly and I was not rushed.... I am going to schedule surgery with him.

First appointment went well. He tells it like it is. Decided to have surgery. Will write another review after it. Thank you Dr. Baghai

He did not look at my images when I took them into him, rather the nurse man did. What a JOKE!

Dr. Baghai is a highly focused skilled, detailed and precise surgeon. He is a perfectionist, demanding of his staff, his operating environment and his patient's own preparation. In other words, the very definition of patient focus to my way of thinking. He accurately and completely diagnosed my herniated disc, explained what he would do and how it would help. His understanding of the issue and his detail was far better than other doctors which I had seen. He described what all he would do, what to expect, nailed the surgery perfectly and it was all as he said. I do see some negative reviews here about bedside manner being brusque, etc. and I completely disagree. This reminds me of the shallow people who perceive any detailed factual discussion to be argumentative. I've found through numerous surgeries over the years that direct and to the point surgeons often have the best results. I did interrupt once to ask a question while he was explaining the diagnosis and fix and quickly realized that I should wait until he was through. As it turned out, he answered virtually all of my questions. You want touchy feely health coaches and workout leads but you want focused analytical surgeons. Trust me on that.

This doctor was awful! Never informed of the surgery my husband even had! When my husband was fresh out of his third surgery he never ordered him any pain medication and my husband was on pain medicine at home from back pain! He didn't even order that. We made him discharge us early so I could take him to his pain management doctor just to relieve post operative pain. Everyone we had a question for him he would get agitated. I never even mentioned to him I am a nurse! Do yourself a favor and find someone with some compassion or even a little bedside manner! I also slept in my husbands room because he is in such severevents pain all night and when he came in I expressed my concern that he was in pain and he told me to go back to sleep!

AMAZING surgeon, he knows his stuff, I recommend to all with no fears

Dr Baghai and Beck have always treated me and my family with decency, respect and compassion. Dr. Oh, and his Staff, need to take lessons from them.

Very brusque at my follow up. Seemed upset I hadn't scheduled surgery, even though he never told me what surgery he was intending to perform When I asked him what kind of surgery he wanted to perform his would not tell ....his response was 'an operation'. He talked down to me and when I told him his partner had told me I did not need surgery, he became upset and said his partner never said that and I was wrong.

Always liked his professionalism & only Dr. to give me hope

wonderful experience

I was discharged about 20 minutes after surgery. Day 2 and feeling great.

Do not go to this guy please.

Last year I was diagnosed with a benign (thankfully!) tumor in the cerebellum of my brain. The tumor needed to be removed and I was referred by my ENT to Dr. Baghai. Dr. Bahhai spent so much time with me and my husband. He never once made me feel rushed or that I was a bother to him with my zillion questions. The day of my surgery he held my hand and told me and my family he would take good care of me and I knew he meant that. My surgery went terrific with no complications. I felt great and was able to complete the OT requirements to be discharged a day early as I requested (2 days admitted rather than 3). I could NEVER come close to thanking Dr. Baghai for the gift of life as he had my life in his hands. He is definitely one of the kindest, most caring, compassionate, and unbelieveably skilled doctors in his field. I had a couple questions after my surgery while I was home recovering. Dr. Baghai took the time to call me himself to answer my questions. I know there is always a chance for a new tumor to appear...I would not want another person operating on my brain! His staff, assistant, nurses and secretaries were every bit as professional, friendly and helpful as he!!! 10 STARS!!!

Saw Dr for a second opinion. Very satisfied with his concern of my health, explaination of my problem as I was shown my MRI/Myelogaman. His non invasive approach to possible surgery different from another dr who would have had me in the hospital asap with lumbar surgery, with plates, pins, screws, 4-6 wk recovery. Dr Bagahi was very knowlegable, patient and looked for my quesions without me felling like I was wasting his time.His staff was excellent. Options open for my decision without pressure. I would highly recommend others to see Dr Bagahi with their spinal concerns before sugery.

I had a Microdiscectomy 10 years ago by Dr. Baghai at Sewickley Valley Hospital. My quality of life has increased 100%. I have no pain, no restrictions. Dr. Baghai was very caring as well as his office staff. I would recommend this doctor to anyone. thank You Dr. Baghai.

Dr. Baghai is a brilliant doctor. He has a gift for seeing neuro problems very clearly, and being able to treat them adeptly. He's an amazing doc.

I was diagnosed by my PPO with a pinched nerve. After my MRI my PPO refered me to Dr. Baghai. He was not quick to do surgery and had me do a few more procedures such as a nerve block, to be sure surgery was my best option. We elected surgery after the other procedures were unsuccessful I elected to do surgery. The surgery was done immediatley upon waking up I was able to feel my fingers which I had not had feeling in for quite a few months. When I still had some pain a week after the surgery I left a message to have more pain medication called in for me. Dr.Baghai called me himself to discuss the amount of pain I was having. He determined after our discussion it was normal and called in the medication. The incision was small and recovery was shorter than I expected. I would hightly recommend Dr. Baghai for Neurosurgery if you are ever unlucky enough to need it.

Even though I havent had my surgery yet, it scheduled in a few weeks. He is one of the most thorough, caring surgeons I have ever met. He explained in great detail in words I can understand and even drew a picture to show me what is going to be done. I recommend him to everyone!! I am a housekeeper in a hospital and someone said they needed a neurosurgeon, I gave his number to them.

Dr. Baghai was very personable. He spent lots of time with me. He was compassionate and looked into my eyes while explaining my condition. He is a capable surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. My wife and I were very pleased with the overall treatment he gave to both of us. We almost didn't go to him for surgery because of the unflattering comments others have made. Maybe they didn't like that he wasn't American.
