"I a failed lumbar surgery L3-S1 by Choll Kim in 2022 I was left worst off... until I found Dr. Leary. I had a revision two weeks ago and already can tell the difference... he is a miracle worker!"
— Healthgrades (Dr. Scott Leary)"Probably the worst decision of my life to go with Dr Khalessi in hindsight... After surgery I still have those plus brain fog, ataxia, extreme numbness... I’m basically disabled for life."
— Healthgrades (Dr. Alexander Khalessi)"She is a kind and compassionate and the best doctor I have ever had. Likewise, Mallory her nurse and all the other staff in the office are warm and caring."
