Seemed like he was rushed. But he answered all my questions. I like when a surgeon has time to explain the procedure and spend a minute going over risks.

Dr. Araghi is a very caring and talented human being. I had a spinal fusion and I had almost no bruising. Of course that’s a big surgery having to go in the front and the back of your body, and I’m so sore for sure, but honestly, I feel better and I’m moving better after his surgery than my hip surgery a few months ago.
