Dr. Stephen Faraz Shafizadeh, MD

I went to the ER with minimal symptoms and was diagnosed with a large brain tumor that due to its location posed a problem for some neurosurgeons and their hospitals. Dr. Shafizadeh took it upon himself to take my case, had a drain installed, life flighted me to his hospital where he removed the tumor and saved my life. I am recovering under his care and believe I am in the best of hands. His dedication and professionalism are unmatched. I will take my renewed life as an opportunity to "smell the roses" and appreciate everything I have to live for. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Shafizadeh and his staff (especially Larolin!)

Very smart, gifted, and compassionate.

My surgery took time to get scheduled, but I had the best outcome. The staff at the clinic and hospital were awesome. Dr. Shafizadeh answers all questions

I was seen at St Vincent in Sherwood by Dr Shafizadeh after my car wreck. I had a spine fracture and the surgery fixed that I had a quick recovery He is excellent If you have an injury he is the Dr. to see.

I had recent surgery on my neck with D. Shafizadeh. The surgery went planned as scheduled and I had no complications. I feel so much better and I am able to go back to playing pool with friends that I have not done since having major neck pain. Dr. Shafizadeh is very accurate, smart, direct with decision making and great bedside manner. Shannon his office assistant is very helpful AWESOME experience with both.

I went in with TIA symptoms, which Dr. Shafizadeh quickly diagnosed, scheduled for surgery, and performed the needed procedure on my Carotid artery. I continue to be impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of his team, and I would highly recommend the Dr. and his team. The only difficulty I had was the extensive waiting time on the follow up visit due to scheduling problems. Don't know what could be done about that, but the problem needs to be addressed for the sake of the practice.

Dr. Shafizadeh was very informative and helpful during my day at St. Vincent in Sherwood. My wife and I are very thankful for the care we received during and after the surgery. Dr.Shafizadeh is a wonderful Dr. and his assistant Shannon is so helpful and compassionate.

I am very grateful to Dr. Shafizadeh for the care and concern that was shown to my husband and I during my husband's illness. May God bless him to be the brilliant Dr. that he is. The staff at the office was compassionate and caring to us when we came in to see him after the hospital stay.

I had carpel tunnel syndrome in my left hand for years ! Due to COVID my surgery was put off. However Dr. Shafizadeh proceeded with caution this month to preform my surgery. The scheduling was prompt and efficient. Before my surgery and afterwards I cannot explain the amount of care that was given. Dr. Shafizadeh has also called to personally check on me after my surgery. Dr. Shafizadeh is the greatest at what he does and could not be any happier. Like

Dr. Shafizadeh preformed two surgeries on me this year. I had a stroke due to blood in my vessel and he went in and cleared it out then 3 months later he went back and cleaned out the other side. Dr. Shafizade is very good at explaining and helpful with my self and family needs.

Dr. Shafizadeh did a wonderful job with my neck surgery. He made myself and my wife at ease with having surgery during these hard times. After my surgery his staff has kept in contact with me and making sure everything is going well

Dr. Shafizadeh is an AMAZING SURGEON! I took a fall which caused bleeding on my brain. He got me in immediately and did brain surgery, without flaw. He was VERY informative and explained the entire process in “understandable” details. He remained in contact with my family and provided consistent updates and care. He saved my life! I would highly recommend this surgeon to any and everyone in need. Mildred Jones

My nephew took me to the ER after I fell and Dr. Shafizadeh was there to help with my injury. He was very informative with me and my family so that we all understood what I needed and what was going to happen before and after surgery. I am very pleased with him.

I was very please with Dr. Shafizadeh when I was seen in the ER. I fell at home and hit my head was found by my nephew then taken to St. Vincent ER Dr. Shafizadeh was very informative and explained everything to my nephew and I am pleased

A fantastic surgeon. A very nice and thorough man who truly cares about his patients. He puts a lot of time into each patient so my appointment took some time but it was so worth it. Seek his expertise and sincere care.

I showed up in the emergency room lucky to be alive. After being admitted to the hospital and many tests Dr. Shafizadeh found a tumor and let me know my options for care. He gave me time and information to choose my path to getting well again. He made sure that I got the best care along with the ICU nurses. The surgery went well and I was able to contact them when I had worries or needed anything once I was recovering at home. Absolutely thrilled to be alive and have a great doctor who made it happen! Plus all of his team and nurses who helped me through such a harrowing time. Thank you all for my life!

We were lucky to have Dr. Shafizadeh do my husband's brain surgery. He was so informative in the pre op visit and after the surgery, he talked to the whole family and answered all our questions! His visits post op were also very informative and caring. We have visited his new office and the staff was also very helpful. We highly recommend him!!

The best neurosurgeon. Very caring and spent time with me and my family. Complex surgery that went great. Saw several other neurosurgeons but I am so glad I chose Dr. Shafizadeh.

Dr. Shafizadeh is fantastic. He spent a lot of time with me and my family. Tumor resection went great with no tumor left behind. He is simply THE BEST.
