DR ABID QURESHI

As a Physcian I truly appreciated his clarity about my spinal issue and the solution he recommended.

Very knowledgeable and detailed on his explanation of my spinal issue. He listened to all my complained and issues. Golden state orthopedics and spine really helped me manage and diagnose my spine for ongoing and future care

Outstanding doctors and staff. Never a long wait.

Excellent service always respectful and listens well.

Very caring doctor who’s attention to detail is bar none.

Dr. Qureshi operated on my dad's back, performing a disk fusion. A great experience all around (as much as one can say that about back surgery). Totally competent and professional.Most importantly, my dad can now walk, pain free, after being basically bed ridden for 5 months. Grateful to Dr. Qureshi, and couldn't recommend him more!

I can't speak highly enough of Golden State Orthopedics & Spine and Dr. Abid Qureshi. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Abid Qureshi was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I had a Lower Back injury in the Gym and Dr. Abid Qureshi performed a successful surgery on me. If you're looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further than Golden State Orthopedics & Spine and a very special and caring Dr. Abid Qureshi.

Dr Qureshi and his team are incredible. I'm now 4months out from a Spinal Decompression and Lumber Fusion . When I first saw Dr Qureshi I was in unbearable pain. I could barely walk ,sit,sleep,stand. He and his team have guided me through the diagnosis , treatment, surgery, and aftercare with knowledge, compassion and skill. I highly recommend Dr Qureshi and his team. I feel as if I've gotten my life back. I never thought I would be able to do everything I used to do. My only regret was waiting years to seek help. Thank you!!!!!!!

Dr. Qureshi has a nice bedside manner. He is easy to talk to and takes time to explain/answer your questions.

He was very attentive to my needs

Dr. Qureshi has the most kind and gentle delivery of recommendations. His professionalism and expertise is beyond extraordinary. I would not trust anyone else with my spinal care.

I am very satisfied with my surgery that was done by Dr abid a Qureshi, my life was miserable one year prior to my surgery but after the surgery I feel much better. I was so scared to do this surgery but thanks to Dr Qureshi I am so glad I did it and I recommend anybody who needs acdf surgery to do it without hesitation and choose Dr abid Qureshi to do it for them. I am so happy that he was my surgeon thank you so much Dr Qureshi.

Dr. Abid Qureshi is the best orthopedic surgeon in the Bay Area. I was very comfortable with him. He was cautious with his patients throughout my surgery, both in the surgery room and in the hospital. Thank you very much for taking good care of me.

My first time at the office. I was received very well, given my paperwork, took X-rays, then saw Dr. Qureshi. He was very thorough, and detailed when examining me, and that’s all you can ask for as a new patient.

Dr. Abid A. Qureshi, MD was very kind to me. He took his time to examine and advised me on what to do to improve my back pain. He also answered all my questions and he was very patient. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars

Dr Qureshi @ Golden @ Golden State Orthopedics who was very informative and answered my questions without any reservations. I highly recommend him for any orthopedic surgeries.

Dr.Qurashi is a superb Surgeon. surgery was performed perfectly, I could not be happier. The words can not describe the respect I have for this Doctor. he is 10 star surgeon A++++++++++ not 5 star

I respect Dr. Qureshi for looking at my imaging and not going right to a surgical option. I think he's kind, and experienced. I also think he's very busy and sometimes difficult to get to see.

Dr Qureshi is an extremely attentive doctor. I've been a patient of his for over 20 years.

Dr. QURESHI did my mother’s back surgery. Can’t thank him enough for the care and expertise.

My real name is Penka Kalcheva. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Qureshi! After suffering for three years with pain in my right leg and unable to walk more then 15 minutes , after the spinal surgery Dr. Qureshi did I’m feeling much better. Now I can walk more than one hour. Dr. Qureshi and his team are so professional ! Thank you so much !

Dr. Qureshi performed lumbar back surgery for me this past March 2024. The sugery was successful and I have pain free since about 3 weeks after the surgery. I couldn’t have a more personable, profesional and considerate surgeon. He clearly explained every step of the process and addressed my queston and concerns. I couldn’t have had a better experience under the circumstances. My thanks to the Dr. and Kelsey, his assistant.

I highly recommend Dr. abid Qureshi, he showed great compassion, knowledge and experience. He is the Best.

My favorite Doctor. He literally saved me , with back surgery. I was in so much pain, that just got worse over many years. It’s now been 38 months and follow exam, shows everything is great and hardware in perfect condition. Remarkable Doctor and human being. I truly recommend Dr. Qureshi, as the best spine surgeon in the Bay Area.

Excellent doctor, professional care.He has helped me in the past.

After 5 chiropractors approx 100 massages and acupuncture. Dr.Qureshi is one of the best Doctors I have ever seen. One year of lower back pain seen many Doctors he was very thorough and set me up for success again . My name is Michael Chand set me up for a epidural as well as nerve testing after 100 steps I could not bend my knee I have to lay on the floor so embarrassing . OMG Thank you others said I need knee replacement . You just don't understand how much I appreciate you . Excellent Doctor!

Dr Quereshi performed a very intensive surgery on my spine, 5 hours. I had been unable to walk or stand without excruciating pain for a couple of years. I have always been involved in fitness,, over 50 years. Being unable to participate in classes or lift weights made me extremely unhappy and, of course, my body suffered. Losing strength and firmness in my body was foreign. Injections stopped working and Dr. Narloch sent me on a quest to find a surgical team to help me with my life. I interviewed and my decision was easy, Dr. Quereshi stood out as the best. He has an amazing reputation, is very patient to hear all of my concerns, along with his assistant, Kelsey. It was easy to decide on Dr. Quereshi . Two months after my surgery I am able to walk two miles per day . My life is on an upswing and I look forward to Going back to my gym next month. Dr. Quereshi gave my life back to me.

I could not be happier, very professional and super honest . Dr. Qurashie Superb Highly recommend for outstanding back surgery A+++++ He got the job done right from the first time .

I highly recommend Dr. Abid Qureshi. He is an empathetic and skillful surgeon. He performed a complicated spinal procedure on my husband which alleviated the pain he suffered for eight months.

Appreciate for take a my pain. I hope my pain getting better.

Dr. Qureshi diagnosed my spinal stenosis. He then explained in detail how he is going to correct the issue. Dr. Qureshi showed great compassion, knowledge and experience. I strongly recommend Dr. Qureshi to correct any back issues that you may have. He is the best!

Dr. Qureshi is Very thorough and explained everything to me.

My name is Wanette Oxley I went to see Dr. Quershi in extreme pain from compressed nerves in my lumbar spine. My legs were numb and the pain so bad it was raising my blood pressure. Pain killers did not ease my symptoms. He knew right away I needed surgery so he put things into motion to get me into the hospital. I think I was in surgery for 6 plus hours. His PA Kelsey was amazing. Her compassion and bedside professionalism impressed me! Highly recommend them!

I went to see Dr.Qureshi for a surgical consult for my lumbar spine . I had several issues with it. Dr. Qureshi made sure I understood my options and was very meticulous with his explanations. I felt after 5 years of going through many Doctors and modalities to try to get a straight answer and care plan to help I knew my search was finally over. Dr. Qureshi performed my surgery last September and the outcome was outstanding. I had minimal post operative pain and my anxiety over having spinal surgery was gone. For the first time in 5 years I have started enjoying my life again. Dr. Qureshi is not only a fantastic doctor, He treats his patients like family. Please don’t Suffer any longer with your back or neck pain, make an appointment for a consultation.

If your looking for a Orthopedic surgeon, Doctor Qureshi your guy. His overall knowledge of the spine, hip, etc is second to none. Explains the situation very well & detailed. Anyone looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon, I highly recommend him. A 1 of 1 surgeon, thanks again Qureshi & the Golden State Orthopedic & Spine team.

Dr. Qureshi is the best orthopedic surgeon that I could have hoped for! He is very thorough and clear with his diagnosis. He listens and answers any questions, and his interest in helping his patients goes beyond his immediate expertise. I had an ACDF surgery and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. If you need to see an orthopedic specialist, I highly recommend Dr. Qureshi and his staff!

I like Dr. Qureshi he takes his time and explains things so that I can understand.

Hello I am Resham Singh and I would like to tell you that my Doctor is the Best Doctor in the world and this Doctor Kuraishi is very very intelligent and very professional for his work and he knows what he is doing. His Communication skills are awesome. I would like to special thanks to Doctor who treated me Good.

Dr. Qureshi is one of my top two doctors ever. I’d travel far to receive the benefit of his expertise. I healed beautifully and quickly after he spent “four hours picking bone off” my cervical spinal cord. I was never worried at any time thanks to him

I really loved working with Dr. Qureshi! He explained everything to me in great detail so I was very comfortable. The surgery went great! I have been miserable for 9 months and soon after surgery I was my old self…happy, comfortable and positive! He is amazing!!

Very professional

Dr.Quereshi and his team are amazing. My dad had severe neck and arm pain with numbness that required surgery. Through out the whole process they gave my dad the best care and explained everything very well. My dad is almost a year post op and no longer has pain or numbness. You will get the best care with amazing results.

Dr. Qureshi office and staff are awesome as far as customer service from staff and Dr. Qureshi himself so thankful he went above and beyond with his care a big Thank You to all of you

Comprehensive service to patients is needed. Unsure there us a system in place to evaluate a patient’s progress as time goes by and symptoms change. Doctors need to communicate with each other and with patient.

I have had the pleasure to meet Dr. Qureshi several times. He is exemplary in his practice with his knowledge, patience and ability to explain in detail the best options available to a patient. He’s a total class act. I feel lucky to have him taken care of me.

Dr. Qureshi is by far one of the best workers comp doctors I have ever had. He is very pleasant, knowledgeable, very professional and has great bedside manners.  I had a cervical artificial disc replacement done and Dr. Qureshi and his staff were wonderful. Thanks for taking care of me!

Dr. Qureshi is by far one of the best Workers Comps doctors I have ever had! He is very pleasant, listens and is very caring towards any of your needs!

Very professional, cares about his patients and really knows how to do his surgeries well.

The doctor was very informative and professional

I am grateful everyday that I was referred to this magical surgeon. After dealing with two bulging discs in my neck for close to a year he replied them and I woke up in the recovery room pain free!! Both he and Kelsey are miracle workers in my book!!!

I highly recommend Dr Qureshi, he is a miracle worker in my book. He replaced two bulging discs in my neck and I have been pain free since waking up in the recovery room. Both he and Kelsey are amazing!!!

First time my back pain was taken seriously. I'm really glad that my primary care physician referred me to Dr Qureshi

I saw Dr Qureshi for herniated disc issue and he is the kindest knowledgeable doctor who listens to you and your concerns with patience . Highly highly recommend him !

Great experience. Dr. Explained everything in detail and had wonderful bedside manner.

Dr Qureshi is an excellent surgeon. He prepared me for my lower back surgery. Answered all my questions and made me feel confident with the procedure. If you follow what he tells you to do, as I have, you will be very happy. I am extremely happy and I am just over 6 months post surgery and I can now do many tasks without pain. I am excited to see what the next six months of healing with PT will allow me to do. Thank you Dr. Qureshi. Ann

Dr. Qureshi performed a lower back surgery that eliminated my pain in my legs and thighs. He also posted a methodological process in My chart detailing the procedure. Excellent doctor.

He is a very kind doctor. I had back surgery a few years ago by another doctor That doctor retired. I went back to another doctor and he said I was lucky I had the mobility that I have, and just dropped it I was very frustrated because he was so short with me My back kept hurting so I had a MRI and went to Dr Qureshi , he explained why my back was still hurting and gave me options for different things that I can do to help it without having another back surgery. He Also gave me a referral for a Pain Management doctor that doesn’t just give you medication‘s. They work with you to break up the scar tissue around your surgery. He’s the first Dr that took the time to explain to me. What happened why it happened and what I can do moving forward.

Thanks to Dr. Qureshi I live a life free of pain and pain pills. For several years I was awaken in the middle of the night with pain shooting down both my left and right legs. Throughout each day, the pain in my lower back was excruciating causing me to miss out on activities with my family. Finally I decided I had enough. I'm so glad I was referred to Dr. Qureshi. My wife and I were presented with diagrams, pictures, graphs and charts during our initial visit which helped us to understand the recommended procedure. We also received information regarding what to expect post surgery. To our delight a few weeks after surgery I was out for short walks. Now ten months post surgery, I have reclaimed my life and once again enjoy activities with my family, just as Dr. Qureshi said I would. I highly recommend Dr. Qureshi as a spinal surgeon.

Very nice atmosphere, very good and kind service.

He is an excellent surgeon. He made sure that the diagnosis was accurate by completing the necessary tests (x-ray & MRI) and consulting anoher specialist (ENT). This ensured that the appropriate procedure was implemented to correct the problem. He removed bone spurs on the cervical spine (C2, C3, C4, & C5) which caused severe swallowing problems. The pre-op, surgery and post-op went smoothly because of the care and expertise of everyone, the doctor and his team.

DR QURESHI DIAGNOSED AND TREATED ME FOR MY PAINFUL NERVE PAIN IN BY LOWER BACK AND LEGS. AFTER REDUCING MY PAIN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS THROUGH INJECTIONS, HE OPERATED ON MY BACK IN JANUARY OF 2023. I AM NOW PAIN FREE AND I CAN NOT EXPRESS ENOUGH GRATITUDE TO DR QURESHI FOR ALL HIS HELP.

Very thorough and kind doctor. Good experience and immediate diagnosis

(Translated by Google) In my opinion and based on my results, for my experience, Mr. A. Qureshi is a very good doctor. (Original) En mi opinión y basado a mis resultados para mi experiencia es muy buen doctor el señor A.Qureshi

So far so good; Dr Qureshi kept me thoroughly and very well-informed and explained everything for my elective procedure.

Dr. Qureshi performed on my spine lumber section L3-S1 fusion surgery in April 2017 in the John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, CA. It was a long surgery, followed by one-week stay in the hospital and a few months long recovery phase at home. Both in pre- and post-surgery phase Dr. Qureshi proved to be not only a highly qualified professional but a great communicator capable to explain in simple terms and expressions what problems and issues we may face and what solutions we may have to select in the near future. He has continued seeing me every year since the surgery analyzing current images of my spine lumber section, discussing the possible options I may have in my behavioral changes and recommended additional physical therapy when needed. Thanks to Dr. Qureshi and his guidance I am capable, to large extent, to live the life style (round-the-world travel for a few months every year) my wife and I envisioned for our retirement. I consider myself lucky to have selected Dr. Qureshi as my Orthopaedic Surgeon and based on my long personal experience I would recommend his services to anyone in this medical field. Mirek Olmer

Great doctor and professional.

Dr abid Qureshi is Junius we are lucky to have him in the bay ❤️.

Very kind and caring, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this doctor to any one.

Dr Qureshi and his team came highly recommended by 3 different people whom I trust. I found him extremely thorough, straightforward and feel completely confident in his plan for my recovery.

Very focused and attentive to my day to day issues.

Dr. Qureshi is an incredible surgeon. After a fall at work, caused injury to my neck and nerve testing/MRI indicated that surgery was necessary, I was referred to Dr Qureshi. His only goal for my laminoplasty surgery was to get my spinal cord out of danger. Immediately, when I woke from surgery the 24 hour a day intense pain in my hands was gone and it has stayed that way! It was a miracle. Though I was able to return to work both before and after the surgery, Dr Qureshi gave me my life back. Being in that type of constant pain from nerves changes everything. He and his team fully prepared me for the surgery, got me out of the hospital in a few days and continued my care with physical therapy. I mention the testing that was done before surgery as it put my mind at ease that he was responsible about his decision of surgery. He took the time to explain to me why I was a good candidate for this surgery and answered my many questions. I refer Dr. Qureshi to anyone needing treatment for their neck or back. He is responsible, caring in his treatment and is an incredible surgeon. He is a miracle worker! He has given me my life back. Thank you Dr. Qureshi.

Dr Abid Qureshi Md I will recoment to any body for surgery 100%very good dr

Absolutely the best spine doctor in the Bay Area!

Very professional and to the point of what needed to be done I am confident he will help me

Dr Qureshi is patient driven not scalpel driven. He wants to look at all possibilities for health improvement before suggesting surgery. He is thorough with wanting current MRI and other testing. Yes! I would recommend Dr Qureshi as your spinal orthopaedic surgeon.

With a philosophy of performing only what is necessary Dr. Qureshi performed a less extensive procedure than originally expected, an L3-L5 decompression. While my prognosis and procedure could be considered less significant than other spinal issues (spinal stenosis: L3-L5 decompression), because there is a degenerative component I embarked on this journey with the mindset that I may have to have another procedure in the future. Since my procedure in November 2022 I have had a very smooth and successful recovery, and would highly recommend Dr. Qureshi and his team to anyone, including myself.

I honestly cannot share enough positive things about Dr. Qureshi. What a humble man and human. My first appointment with him for a consultation he was very thorough. I’m a visual learner so him actually showing me with a model of the spine exactly what was going on I’m my back was helpful. Along with showing me what would be done to correct the problem. The surgery went as planned, after a seven hour surgery, There is light at the end of the tunnel! Tomorrow will be one month post surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Qureshi for any needs concerning the back/spine.

Currently undergoing treatment by Dr. Qureshi for a spine issue but in December, 2021, he did a surgery on my husband Joseph. Excellent, professional, courteous but strong and effective. Husband had a 2nd opinion consult at UCSF prior to his surgery. That Dr. said to let Dr. Qureshi do the work as he is excellent! We totally agree!!!!

Dr Qureshi is very competent and explains the orthopedic medical issue very clearly.

Dr. Abid Qureshi performed my second cervical spine surgery, discectomy with fusion on C6, C7, and T1 vertebrae. (I previously had discectomy and fusion on C5 and C6.) I was extremely nervous leading up to the surgery for many, many reasons. However, Dr. Qureshi has such an amazing bedside manner and kind way of interacting with his patients he was able to help ease my mind. I especially appreciate the way he explains everything, whether it be in reviewing imaging or speaking about procedures and treatment in general. He answers questions before I even think of what to ask using terminology that is easy for me to understand. Dr. Qureshi is a true professional, and should I need further spine treatment, he is definitely my first choice.

Had scoliosis, horrible pain unable to really enjoy traveling any more. Had the surgery a few months a go, what a difference it had made. I am no longer in pain ,able to resume my travels. I was scared to have the surgery to start, as I had so many bad stories about back surgery. But I must admit I feel great. It was the best decision I've ever made.

I love Dr. Qureshi!! He is an amazing surgeon and has always taken a personal interest in my medical needs. This last visit wasn’t what I usually get so I’m thinking he was having a tough morning. But that is the only reason I gave him a 4 instead of a 5! He is normally a 5 across the board!! I would recommend him for back problems to all my friends and family!

Professional, expedient and experienced surgeon with like minded staff. Recommend Dr. Qureshi and his team without reservations.

I had L3 to S1 depression, L4 to S1 TLIF in November 2022. Surgery was performed by Dr Qureshi (Dr Q). I didn’t have much pain after this extensive surgery (except little aches & discomfort which I believe it’s normal). Now it’s 3-1/2 mos after & I can say I have a very smooth recovery. Thank you Dr Q for taking excellent care of my spine during this extremely challenging time of my life. There are no words to express my deep felt thanks. His kindness, patience, medical knowledge & skills have been a blessing to me. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Quershi is a excellent surgeon I had lumbar surgery his staff and PA are just great

Great spine specialist with excellent bedside manner. Dr. Qureshi does not default to recommending extremes like surgery. He definitely empowered me to take charge of my back / spine health by offering simple, specific steps to improve mobility and relieve aches. I’m on the path to 100% because of his suggestions.

I had double fusion (L6-L5-S1) done almost 5 months ago by Dr. Qureshi. This followed a long process that included variety of treatments, PT, shots and everything possible to try and resolve significant pain in both legs for a couple of years. My situation deteriorated over last summer to a point I had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning from significant legs pain. This surgery was a game changer — the day after surgery (still in hospital recovering), the pain in my legs vanished. The recovery was straight forward, and I am back to playing tennis (although still at 60-70%). Dr. Qureshi took the right steps to fully understand my issues and come up with the right solution. When I went to a 2nd opinion that proposed an alternative treatment, we discussed the pros and cons of the alternative and concluded to continue with the proposed solution. Almost 5 months later, I am pain free, have not taken a pill for months, playing tennis and back to almost all my activities. Continuing with PT for flexibility and core-strengthening, but otherwise, back to normal. I highly recommend Dr. Qureshi. His approach, knowledge and execution are superb and I couldn’t be more happy.

I am so grateful to Dr Qureshi for his knowledge, concern for his patients, and the positive results I incurred as a result of his treatment and expertise.

Thanks to Dr Qureshi’s diagnosis and ability to provide rapid surgical relief to my condition, I’m walking once again. It’s been a tough rehab (thank you GSOS SR PT!) and to Dr Q for ongoing care following my MAJOR surgery, at almost 1 year post surgery, I’m at about 70%. If you’re seeking a skilled and caring surgeon, look no further.

Excellent experience!

Dr Qureshi was outstanding in all areas. Professional, caring and willing to spend the time to explain. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Qureshi is incredibly knowledgeable, and honest person and an amazing doctor. I would recommend to anyone.

I have always been comfortable with Dr Qureshi, both from a technical standpoint as well as his ability to keep me completely informed and in touch with the progress of my medical care.

Great personality. I felt very comfortable with him.

Dr. Qureshi's knowledge and his way of explaining are top notch. I have a lumbar fusion from many years ago and now have a problem at the next level. From the outset, Dr. Qureshi explained the options clearly, the pros and cons and helped me decide the optimal course of action. When it comes to surgery, he will be the one I turn to.

I met Dr. Qureshi two and half years ago for my excruciating shoulder and neck pain. He looked at my MRI and gave me a few suggestions. He also arranged for me to see Dr. Narloch for an epidural injection. Two weeks later I had the injection. While my pain was not completely eliminated it was significantly reduced and I was able to resume my daily routine slowly. Three weeks ago, I went back to see Dr. Qureshi for my chronic back and leg pain that’s getting worse. Again, he arranged for me to see Dr. Narlock for injections and we discussed other issues that needed to be addressed. I had the injections a few days ago. I am cautiously optimistic since I’m already feeling less pain. I regard Dr. Qureshi to be a sincere, honest and caring doctor. I appreciate his open approach to collaboration between doctors rather than passing his patient to another doctor without help or support. I’ve been through that too many times with other physicians. I could not give five stars because of the long waiting times. I waited one hour sitting on my pain. Also, communication regarding appointment reminders and other courtesy calls could be improved. I was there for my appointment not knowing it had been canceled.

Spent 6 hir on my back feels great He is th best surgeon in the US

I had extensive back damage resulting in disk damage, extensive nerve damage, drop foot in both legs, stenosis, and scoliosis. The first surgeon that I saw declined to do surgery due to the extensive scope of the procedure. He gave me the names of two surgeons and I chose Dr. Qureshi. I found Dr. Qureshi to be a caring thoughtful individual. More importantly I found him to be a very skillful surgeon. The surgery was extensive and lasted for more than 10 hours. Now however, instead of the wheel chair that I was headed for I'm back on the bicycle so thank you Dr. Qureshi.

Dr. Avid Qureshi is a great ortho-neural specialist! He is a great listeners, very kind, knowledgeable and empathetic to my concerns and needs. I had a long waiting appointment and my acute back pain had almost recovered. Dr. Qureshi addressed my concerns and instructed me how to avoid it in the future.

I have been Dr. Qureshi's patient for over 7 years now. I had my L5-S1 fusion surgery in 2015 and my most recent surgery was about a month ago, where I had an anterior (L4-L5) and posterior (L4-S1) spinal fusion. I had severe low back pain with sharp shooting pain down my legs. Those symptoms dissipated shortly after my surgery, which was almost 7 hrs long. My recovery thus far has been exactly what Dr. Qureshi explained to me during our pre-op visit. As long as I followed all the rules, the Dr. Qureshi's rules. A clear, clean, understandable path towards success with a predictable and reliable outcome. Over the years I have come to admire Dr. Qureshi both personally and professionally. Dr. Qureshi is a maestro of his craft, yet with a very kind and humble personality. He is very personable and genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being. Dr. Qureshi's bedside manners are unmatched, as I have had other surgeries over the years. Dr. Qureshi always takes the time to explain every facet of the issue, which quickly became apparent to me his depth of experience. If you are looking for a seasoned, experienced surgeon who has your best interest at heart, Dr. Qureshi must be your only choice. I recommend Dr. Qureshi with great enthusiasm. Thank you Dr. Qureshi for everything you have done for me to get my life back. I wish you a long and happy life!

Excellent consultation and excellent explanation and graphic description of procedures. This was a second opinion consult and I was extremely satisfied. John

Excellent surgeon, Dr Qureshi was my choice when I needed cervical surgery. I asked my friends and colleagues in the medical field who they would use if they needed Spine surgery and all endorsed Dr Qureshi. He is conservative in his approach but effective in his application. Not one complaint, resolved my issue with mild to the best of his ability

could not say enough for what he dose and did for me just the best

Dr. Abid Qureshi is a highly an extremely skilled neurosurgeon and as a result of the surgery he and his team performed on my lumbar spine—I am now completely relieved of the almost constant pain I was suffering in my lower back, hips and down both legs.The pain was so severe I could NOT sleep and pain pills did not help. I could not walk more than a few hundred feet before the pain and numbness set in and I'd have to sit or lay down. Immediately after surgery the pain was gone. I can now walk four miles a day—with absolutely no pain or discomfort of any sort. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to Dr. Qureshi (and his entire team and staff). Needless to say I'd highly recommend him for anyone needing neurosurgery. Gary Johnson

I had terrible sciatica pain for 3 months due to a herniated L5/S1. Dr Qureshi came highly recommended and performed my surgery . I am two months post op and pain free, my quality of life has improved tremendously and I am almost back to all of my activities.

Dr. Qureshi, performed surgery on my lumbar region, at the beginning of Feb 2022. I'm 3 months into recovery and I am just so grateful for the amazing job he and his team did for me. I was in tremendous pain leading up to the procedure and had suffered with lower back problems for many years. Seeing the acute situation I was in, Dr Qureshi urgently admitted me through ER and performed the surgery that I can honestly say was transformational. He's very humble and extremely knowledgeable and I have no hesitation to recommend him.

Dr Qureshi is my hero! He performed an anterior and posterior lumbar fusion surgery that lasted 11 hours. 10 years ago I had a lumbar fusion surgery that needed to be redone due to instability (this was with another surgeon).I wasn't able to stand or walk for more than 15 minutes without being in excruciating back pain and one of my legs getting numb. Now, 4 months after my surgery, I feel like a new person! I walk for 1 hour every day and am able to live a more "normal life". Dr Qureshi and his team were very thorough, professional and caring during the surgery time and during the follow-up. I highly recommend him.

Thank god for Dr Qureshi. I could not have asked for a more caring and competent surgeon to repair my severely injured lower back. After enduring months of unbearable pain, I am now 100% pain free. Who could ask for more. Thank you Dr Qureshi! You are the best.

My orthopedic surgeon saved my life. He was very methodical to solve the complications of the laminoplasty. The decision to go with the laminectomy saved me from paralysis. I thank him for allowing me to walk again, even with a cane. The infection found was treated by two very strong antibiotics. I have gained full stamina and strength in my extremities. I walk at least 2 to 3 miles a day with the cane. Thank you very much.

There is lots to say about Dr. Qureshi. I never place an emphasis on bedside manner but if I did he gets a 10. It becomes apparent pretty quickly that you are in the presence of a humble master. Somebody at the top of their craft yet no airs and no ego. He is centrally focused on the solution to your problem using his extraordinary means as a surgeon and I would say as a mechanic. I think he has no patience for half measures, meaning if it can't be done right he's not gonna do it. I had a TILF for the L3 L4 and L5 and it was predicted to take about 4 1/2 hours. But it took almost 7 because he found so much scar tissue there was just no way he was gonna leave it there. No half measures, get it? During our preop appointments, it became pretty apparent to me the extraordinary human that was going to be working on one of the most delicate parts of my body. The depth of experience is hard to match having done this operation 1500 times prior to my arrival. Where does that send my confidence level? I am at day 71 and the prediction is that the bones are fused at day 90 and I will start my physical therapy about two weeks after that. My healing process has been extraordinary but at the same time predicted as long as I followed all the rules, the Dr. Qureshi rules. A clear, clean, and understandable path towards success with a predictable and reliable outcome, is there anything more that we can ask for? I'm not blowing smoke here. My back was so severely injured I couldn't stand up without having massive shooting pains down both legs, and that pain was gone when I woke up. In about another three months maybe four I'll be trail running through the wilderness free as a bird. Thanks Doc, may you live a long and happy life, I know I will.

Dr Qureshi and his team changed my life - I was suffering through debilitating leg pain due to a severely herniated L4/L5 disc. I was unable to find relief in any position. I could not sit or lay down and had not been able to sleep for several weeks. His team was able to prioritize scheduling of my surgery and I was alleviated of the brutal leg pain immediately following surgery. I am one week post-op now and am feeling great. I am so grateful and cannot thank Dr Qureshi enough. 1 year update- sciatica pain has not returned and I have resumed nearly all physical activity. I still avoid lifting heavy and awkward objects, but besides that I am fully active and regularly mountain bike. I am still not sure if I will backpack this summer as the PTSD is still strong and I never want to have to deal with the pain I endured ever again.

Dr. Qureshi and his team have been wonderful! I’ve struggled since I was 14 with disc herniation, and I fully herniated my lower lumbar delivering my first baby earlier this year. I could barely walk. Now my life long back problems seem to be coming to an end, and it’s solely thanks to his skilled hands and kind manner. I couldn’t be more grateful!

Honest, sincere, straight-forward evaluation---appreciated very much--TH

After 5 years of dealing with a painful herniated disk (L5) and injections weren't working any longer, I was ready for the next step which meant surgery. I was recommended to get my surgery done by Dr.Quereshi. Dr.Quereshi was very professional and described to me exactly how he was going to approach my surgery which made me feel comfortable. I was at peace after my pre-op visit with him and I could not wait to have Dr.Quereshi fix me!!! As of 7/1/21 I'm no longer in Pain and my recovery has been successful! I'm now in Physical Therapy per his instructions to increase my muscles strength and flexibility. If you have any Orthopedic issues don't hesitate to visit Dr.Quereshi. He is a gentle and gifted soul and is in a mission to help others bring back to a healthy lifestyle.

I'd rather call Dr. Qureshi an angel with magical hands. I had so much pain in my neck and shoulders for many years and no doctor figure out the case of pain even with radiology. Now its been 3 months of my cervical disc operation and I feel so good with my outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Qureshi for anyone who needs to do surgery.

Dr. Qureshi performed a spinal fusion revision (L3,4,5, & S1) back in late summer of 2019. There were some issues with the hospital after the surgery and Dr. Q personally resolved them. In fact he gave me his personal cell # if I needed his assistance for any relevant post surgical issues. He has always showed the utmost respect and is a very caring, kind person. He was cautious at every step from diagnosis through post-op care. To ensure proper healing I waited about 4 or 5 months after surgery to start PT. Just as I started, the pandemic hit. It is only now (May 2021) that my husband (organ transplant) and I are cautiously going out into the world again now that we are fully vaccinated. After viewing my latest x-rays, Dr. Qureshi has approved the restart of my PT. All the stars.

There are no words that can express my gratitude to Dr. Qureshi and his PA Zach. They are a fantastic team. My mother was in so much pain and she basically could not walk a block without extreme pain and talked to her primary doctor to no avail. Finally I decided to take her into Muir Orthopedic and that's when Dr. Qureshi brought her back to life! It's been almost 6 months since her spinal fusion and it was a life changer for him. If/when I need something like this he will be the first call. I suggest that you do the same. This team is phenomenal.

Dr. Qureshi is very knowledgable, thorogh, patient and his communication style is good. I trust him to provide excellent care for me. My back issues are complicated but am confident he will provide the best outcome possible.

wanted to update now that my sciatica pain is gone.  I ended up having to get a lumbar microdisectomy and Dr. Qureshi helped make the entire experience go smoothly. I was extremely nervous but the entire staff at Sequoia Surgical and Dr. Qureshi himself are very nice and helped me in any way they could throughout my healing process.  Dr. Qureshi did a great job on my surgery and I am finally pain free after 9 months of pain. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing back pain.

My surgery was a complete sucess. I am well on the way to recovery. The Doctor was very attentive and through.

There is so much that I would love to say. Dr Qureshi is a excellent Doctor. I went in to see Dr. Qureshi in a lot of pain, he sat down and explain everything that was happening and what he could do to help me. I was a little scared at first but with is confident approach. I felt at ease. After the surgery he gave me my life back. I am now able to walk around pain free. He is such a kind and humble person. Great staff. And Surgery team . Thank you Dr. Qureshi, you come highly recommend 100% Thank you. Mr. W. Linton.

Dr Qureshi is am amazing doctor. From my first appointment to my last appointment he has always been great. He is clear on his explanations, answers all my questions and is very humble. He performed surgery on my back and I knew what to expect before hand. Dr Qureshi and Zach make a great team. I highly recommend them and have already referred others to him. I forgot how it felt to walk with out pain in my back but thanks to him, I now remember what it is like!

My primary care physician highly recommended a consultation with Dr. Qureshi to find a solution for my acute Sciatica. By the time I met him, I had been living with excruciating pain for 5 months and could barely walk. Dr. Qureshi quickly identified the problem and reviewed my options, spinal fusion and decompression, in easy to understand terms. He was very compassionate and reassuring that I would be fine, so I placed my faith in him and had surgery. I couldn't have had a better experience or outcome. He is meticulous, exercises the greatest care and really supported my every need or concern. Thank you Dr. Qureshi

After 4 years of dealing with Sciatic Nerve Pain, Dr. Quershi promised he could fix me with Surgery. He delivered with flying colors!  I think Dr. Quereshi is Professional, Very Kind, and Extremely Knowledgeable and Articulate as a Surgeon!  I would highly recommend him for any back/spine problems!

What started as a nightmare turned into pain relief thanks to Muir Orthopaedic and Dr Abid Qureshi. I had back pain for years and no doctor ever took the time to figure out the cause of the pain. Other doctors and specialists prescribed medication, physical therapy, referrals to chiropractor.... but none actually gave me a diagnosis. When I finally made it to Muir Orthopaedic, the proper tests were run and I finally had a real diagnosis. When it actually came time to have surgery, Dr Qureshi and his team were amazing. Though the recovery was long and painful, Qureshi and his team actually fixed me! For the first time in years, I could walk without excruciating pain. Long story short, I could not recommend Dr Qureshi and Muir Orthopaedic enough.

Dr. Qureshi performed a lamon my neck last year and he is an excellent surgeon at top-flight doctor I highly recommend him. This morning,  Dr. Qureshi successfully performed a bi-lateral epidural procedure on my lower back. Which only supports my earlier opinion of his abilities as a doctor and a surgeon.  His knowledge, skill and talent has greatly  improved my quality of life.

Dr. Abid Qureshi performed ACDF surgery on my neck in January 2019. He is an excellent Dr. Always listened to my concerns and explained my surgery to a tee as what to expect.  I am very happy with my outcome as I am pain free fir the first time in a few years.

Dr Qureshi performed a laminectory and fusion at L5-S1 in late Sept.  The outcome is fantastic. After 3 years of limited walking due to nerve pain, and searching for non-surgical options, I am pain free. Quality of life is restored. I can walk as much as desired. Strength has returned. Dr. Qureshi met all my expectations in terms of pre-op discussion and meticulous attention to detail. He was recommended to me by my chiropractor as "the surgeon that the chiropractors go to."

100% happy and thrilled with the service and attention from Dr. Qureshi and his team. I had cervical fusion in C5-7 and everything went great and was FAR easier than I expected, from he surgery itself to the recovery period. I actually look forward to my follow-up visits, knowing I am in great hands. His bedside manner is fantastic - professional but attentive and caring, without being superficial. If you are having ANY DOUBTS about having surgery, then think no more and just get it done. My only regret is that I should have done it sooner... I could have saved myself a lot of pain and suffering!

I am so grateful to Dr. Abid Qureshi, who performed a bilateral TLIF on my L5-S1 - last October. After living with debilitating nerve pain for more than two years, pain medication daily, and multiple Doctors simply ping-ponging me back and forth between "specialists" all saying I was to young for a procedure, some not even meeting with me just looking into my file. Dr. Qureshi listened, and after months of appointments and preparation. He performed on me what is in my opinion no less than a miracle. I am so thankful to the Lord for bestowing such skill, discernment, and attentiveness on Dr. Qureshi and his fabulous team. Thank you for giving me my life back sir. It's all thanks to him I am off of pain medication entirely. I am so thankful that I can play with my children, and keep up with them again, that I can't say enough about how great of care I received. Thank you Dr. God Bless you!

Dr. Qureshi, is the best. He has the best bedside manner, and you will feel confident you are in good hands. I had Spinal Fusion surgery 3 months ago, and I am doing great. Dr. Qureshi explained the procedure for the surgery in great details, including the possible complications. I am thankful I had no complications, and the pain I felt before the surgery is gone. Again, I feel great. I would recommend Dr. Qureshi to everyone in need of back surgery. The greatest doctor. Lilli Crawford-Matthews

Amazing doctor had back surgery and back to work after 8 weeks!good amazing bedside manner i would rate him 100 stars! Written by Elizabeth Donlon

Dr. Qureshi is the best surgeon!!! He's thorough and takes time to explain the procedure he is performing (C5-C7 ACDF) He explained each step, pause and ask if I understood. His demeanor is very calm and soft spoken, which always makes you feel at ease! One of the pre-op nurses mentioned that Dr. Qureshi always calls her by her name and takes time to get to know the nurses. This is my 1st yelp review. I really felt that he made such a difference in giving me back my life, pain free! I want others to meet him and have the same experience I had. The staff is so welcoming, polite and you really get a sense that they care. I give an A+ to Dr. Qureshi, his team, and everyone at John Muir medical center. I feel very grateful and blessed to have met Dr. Qureshi and his team

After a sudden debilitating turn of events last April, I found myself in a lot of pain (back & leg) with weakness and an inability to walk effectively. It was my fortune to be referred to Dr. Qureshi by my primary physician. After studying my MRI, he recommended fusion surgery, from L4- S1. Needless to say, I was nervous about the prospect of a 7-8 hours surgery. Dr. Qureshi explained the procedure in detail. His knowledge and expertise is amazing, and he took time to answer all of my questions. With a smile, he said about the three level fusion: "This is what I do" and that really put me at ease! My recovery has been smooth, overall. When I did have an issue, he was able to see me immediately in his office to get me back on track. Now that I am 5 months out of surgery, I am extremely grateful to Dr. Qureshi. He is an expert who takes pride in his work and treats his patients with care and empathy. I'm back to taking 3 mile walks and going to the gym several times a week for water aerobics. Thank you, Dr. Qureshi!!

I just want to update my review because it has now been over three months after my husband's surgery and we finally feel he has turned the corner. These were three very difficult months because my husband's recovery was much harder than anticipated. He had a lot of nerve pain in his leg. Throughout his ordeal we had a tremendous amount of support from dr. Qureshi and his staff. His continued encouragement, optimism and availability really made a difference. He promised he would see my husband every two weeks until he was better and he did. I have read many online blogs of people with the same post surgical nerve pain complication where many were lamenting the fact that their surgeon did not want to deal with the fallout but simply referred them to their general practitioner or pain specialist. Not so with dr. Qureshi. He was the one following up and conferring with his colleague the pain specialist at the clinic. In between the visits he would check in with the phone and was always willing to take an extra step, be it order more x rays or MRI or arrange for a pick up of pain medicine prescription at the end of a day. He kept trying different medications and dosages, never giving up. It was so helpful and it gave us strength to know we have not been abandoned. He was open and encouraging of trying alternative medicine, accupuncture, vitamin B etc.     His smile at the last visit when we told him the pain has finally significantly dissipated was full of genuine happiness of a doctor that has become a caring friend.

My husband had severe pain and numbing on his left arm for about a year. On the recommendation of his primary care physician, he saw Dr. Qureshi who diagnosed him with cervical myelopathy. Dr. Qureshi recommended Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion surgery. He explained the surgery in detail including the pros and cons. He made sure that we understood the procedure. My husband had surgery on Jan 23, 2017. The surgery was a success. My husband is now pain free and on his way to a complete recovery. Dr. Qureshi is an excellent surgeon with impeccable bed side manner. I also want to acknowledge his entire staff for their caring attitude and professionalism.

Out of the blue, I was disabled with spondilisthesis in my lower back. After two completely ineffective epidural injections done by another medical practice, I consulted Dr Quereshi on the recommendation of two ICU nurses at John Muir Concord. I was in excruciating pain and was uncertain that I could go on without some sort of relief or hope of relief. Dr Q saw me promptly after my initial call and scheduled the appropriate tests and surgery almost immediately. I have had a miraculous recovery and only the kindest and most supportive and professional care from Dr Q and all his staff. After 3 strict months of restricted movement, I started physical therapy and now after 6 months, I have returned to my normal life, using care and common sense. Thank you to Dr Q and everyone at Muir Orthopedics. My highest recommendation to this medical practice.

he did a absolutely wonderful job,I am not fully healed yet but so far so good.He had excellent communication of what was going on and what I could expect.He also ALWAYS and still makes me feel like I am in good hands.

Dr. Q is outstanding. I had spinal fusion. He explained everything in terms I could understand and listened to my concerns. When I expressed concern about another matter, he encouraged me to talk to correct specialist.

What a wonderful surgeon and person ! HIs expertise has helped me get my life back now without having to take those awful pain drugs I needed for years. I only wish I had gone to Dr. Qureshi earlier. He explains your surgery so clearly, has a great bedside manner, and puts your mind at ease when you think you're not doing well. He and his entire staff are so caring, I cannot say enough good things about my surgical experience. Thank you Dr. Qureshi !

We are living in an era that mainly inborn unhappy reviewers write reviews. Unfortunately, satisfied people who receive good care remain silent. I can't stay silent. My family and I have received good care from most physicians. However, Dr. Qureshi is well above all. His professionalism, knowledge, expertise, humanity, and his compassion is exemplary. He is one of the superb physicians I have seen. In addition, his office staff and Muir orthopedics are example of dedicated team who had the passion and compassion to take care of patients. Dr. Qureshi is a role model for many physicians. We were fortunate to have him as our physician.

Dr. Qureshi did a lumbar fusion on my back in December 2015. His expertise as a surgeon and his on-going advice throughout my recovery has resulted in a significantly improved spine. Although recovery has been slow (as Dr. Qureshi suggested it would be), I am very pleased with my progress to date. I would highly recommend him to anyone with back issues.

Dr. Qureshi is great.  I had spinal fusion surgery and the outcome was amazing.  I can now walk miles without radiating pain down my legs.  I went to him based on the glowing recommendation of my primary care physician and he lived up to expectations.  He was always patient and answered my questions and I never felt dismissed or rushed.  I would highly recommend him. The practice in general, Muir Orthopedics, is also really good.  Great follow-up, attentive tech's, low wait time.  I've talked to other folks who have had similarly good experiences there.  In my opinion this is the best orthopedics place in the East Bay.

Dr. Qureshi performed some very significant spinal fusion surgery for my significant congenital scoliosis issue that became progressively worse as I aged. The surgeries have left me pain free, with a quality of life (and lack of pain) that I could only dream about. He is a caring individual with a very solid bedside manner - always willing to take the time to answer questions fully and with proper empathy and concern. I would highly recommend that you strongly consider him for significant back surgery you may be considering.

I had lumbar spinal fusion surgery In May, 2015. I am now walking two miles almost every day, playing golf and am pain free. What more can you ask for. My doctor is Abid A. Qureshi.

I'm very happy with Dr. Qureshi and my spine surgery that he performed. August 22 2016. Before my operation I had problems walking now I can walk up to 7 miles a day. He is the best Dr. ever.

Before 2006 I had constant lower back pain and took pain medications every day, all day. I couldn't walk, do steps or stairs, or sit for several hours without pain. Traveling in a car or plane was not possible.....just too painful. Dr. Qureshi recommended surgery and without hesitation I said yes. Today, 10 years later, at age 75, I am pain free. I travel long distances by car and/or plane, can walk several miles, take the stairs, and work out at the gym. Every year or two I go back for a check-up and I'm doing fine. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Qureshi for giving me my life back! He's the best!

Dr . Qureshi did my surgery six weeks ago , it was a successful surgery I am really happy about the results of the surgery , I am getting my strength back , my pain has reduced . I wish I met him years ago . He is an excellent dr He is helpful , he is polite soft spoken , he is caring he gives you the sense that u are his only patient , he is very knowledgable , before the survey he walk me through the surgery process . He is a extremely talented dr . Thank you so much dr for all your help . I wish him the best for his future career . Because he is the best . Saliha palyal

After a lifetime of back pain, I consulted with Dr. Qureshi and he suggested I have a laminectomy to relieve my lumbar back pain. He is kind, considerate and takes the time to explain what will be done and what my  expectations should be.  I had surgery four months ago and the outcome is just as he said to expect.  I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with a back problem that has not responded to non surgical treatments.

Dr. Qureshi is a wonderful person and surgeon. I had spondilolesthids and scoliosis, and had multiple epidurals over the last 16 years.  Last year, it got to the point that I could not stand for more than a couple hours.  He operated on June 29, 2015.  He fused L2 through L5 in a 7+ hours operation. There was immediate relief felt that afternoon.  I had been told by others it would take a year to recover, but 8 months later all felt back to normal.  At every office visit, he has explained every step and made sure I understood everything.  Highest recommendation to anyone with orthopaedic problems.  He IS the man.  Also a gracious man with perfect bedside manner.

Dr. Qureshi help save my life he got me into see a endocrinology specialist who helped me get my type 2 diabetes under control so that I could finally have my surgery.  I love this Dr., he Corrected the problem and now I can fully use my arm again.  the staff at Muir orthopedic are fantastic.  Thank you for all your hard work,patience and understanding, your simply the best. highly recommended Muir orthopedics and the entire staff.

I have battled various orthopedics problems in the past (since I used to play high school football...knee problems, shoulder, elbow etc) and have dealt with several orthopedic surgeons in the past. But, Dr. Qureshi is by far the best orthopedic surgeon I have ever dealt with. I suffered a fractured vertebrae (L5) and a ruptured disc while working out in the gym. My symptoms were extremely severe and had almost full paralysis in my right leg. Dr. Qureshi performed a L5-S1 laminectomy (or commonly known as spinal fusion surgery) on me back in September 2015. The day after surgery, when I was instructed to get up and walk, my paralysis was completely gone and surgery couldn't have gone any better. Dr Qureshi was absolutely fabulous in his calming bedside manner, knowledge of the field, medical evaluation and advice. Dr. Qureshi is extremely kind and knowledgeable. He is very thorough with his examination and took the time to explain everything to me by showing me the X-ray images and explaining why we needed to move forward with the surgery. Since the surgery, I have been visiting the office to follow-up on my condition and couldn't be any more impressed by Dr. Qureshi's enthusiasm; not to mention the nurses and staff are extremely kind and friendly. It has been a great pleasure to get to know Dr. Qureshi and his staff and I recommend them to everyone with great enthusiasm.

Dr. Qureshi performed surgery on my back on 11/24/2015. I had come to him with chronic back pain, but more pressing was the sciatic nerve pain going down my right leg. He replaced one of my disc, did some other clean up, and did the necessary things to completely relieve the pain going down my leg. He was very attentive and even came in to see me on Thanksgiving. He answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Back surgery is not the most pleasant thing to go through, but I am very glad to have Dr. Qureshi in my corner. Daphne M.

When the epidurals ceased to do their job, surgery was my only option.  Dr. Qureschi was recommended.  He has always explained the procedure to me clearly and thoroughly.  I did the pre-op work he required, so he and I both would be well-prepared for the surgery.  Dr Qureschi performed surgery on my back for spinal stenosis in April 2016.  The relief from agony was instant!  I have seen him for regular checkups since then, and he is always attentive and encouraging.  Today, almost 6 months since surgery, he showed me with delight the x-rays showing the successful fusion process.  I gave him a hug, which he allowed me to do.  He also flashes his beautiful smile when he knows he has succeeded.  I recommend  Dr. Qureschi without any reservation!

I was blessed to have such an exceptional surgeon! Dr. Qureshi explained everything in great detail. He layed out all my options or me to decide what was the best course to take. When I decided to have the surgery in March 2015 on my Cervical 5-6, 6-7 surgery, he took every precaution possible. I woke up in recovery pain free ( not just from the anesthesia & pain meds). I highly recommend Dr. Qureshi and his medical staff. Loretta M.

I have had back problems that got progressively worse over a period of time. Dr. Qureshi took me on and together we decided that surgery would be the best for my situation. It is now six months after my back surgery and I can honestly say it was the best decision I could have made.  Dr. Qureshi is a top notch surgeon as many have stated in his reviews.  He also is a caring doctor that takes great pride in his work.  I really appreciated his confidence in my ability to get better.  His assistant Melinda is top notch too.  If you are reading this Dr. Qureshi, thank you so much for giving me my happy quality of life back again.

I've been a patient of Dr. Qureshi's since 2009.  In May of 2010, he performed surgery on my back after he exhausted all other options.  He is an excellent Doctor and a brilliant surgeon.  He is personable, articulate and his bedside manner is terrific.  I've had some additional back related issues and have seen him for additional epidurals and I can't speak highly enough about this Doctor.

Dr. Quereshi performed lower back surgery to fuse my C4-C5 vertebrae and address extreme narrowing of the spinal canal that was causing increasing pain and movement restriction.  Surgery was completely successful.  Dr. Quereshi took additional time during the surgery to carefully and meticulously remove bone spurs that were impinging on the spinal lining / dura.  During post-surgery follow-up visits he spent the time required to carefully review the progress of healing and explain clearly what was occurring and what activities were recommended / allowed.  He also prescribed alternative medication to address short-term post-surgery nerve pain that was very effective when the standard (e.g. Norco) was not.  His meticulous attention to detail and excellent surgical skills make him an outstanding doctor in this specialized area.  His bedside manner is professional and somewhat distant at the start but he warms up as you get to know him.

Dr. Qureshi is a wonderful and caring doctor.  He is a meticulous surgeon and a very caring doctor.  After meeting with him, I immediately felt very comfortable with him.  And although I had an L3-L5 fusion, the recovery was really quite easy.  I felt so grateful to him for giving me my life back.  Thanks to Dr. Qureshi, I have been able to enjoy the activities that I love most in life.  He is amazing.

Dr. Qureshi is a fantastic Dr.  His knowledge and bedside manner were superb.  He is compassionate and kind as well as an expert in his field.  I highly recommend him if you need a surgeon in the John Muir Network.

Dr Qureshi was absolutely fabulous in his calming bedside manner, knowledge of the field, medical evaluation and advice.

Dr Quereshi is a compassionate and skillful doctor.  I can attest to his great bedside manners as he insisted that I cease smoking my 2 cigs in the evening  before he would agree to perform surgery and although I negotiated hard, his gracious ways of communicating and clear concern for my health won me over. My medical condition is complex, suffice it to say that the good doctor needed to employ logic, critical thinking & practical decision making to arrive at a plan for my surgery due to my spine being compromised in several areas. He also found a potential problem while looking at MRI scans that no other doctor had caught. He put the kabash on my spinal surgery until I was cleared for this issue. Now, how many doctors can you say TODAY will put their potential earnings on hold for the benefit of the patient?  I realize it's a sad commentary on our medical system but hey, that's been my experience on many an occasion. I have a new neck, I'm not pain free, however, I was never promised a neck free of pain but rather; a firmly attached head instead of the bauble head I sported at the time.  I need to do more of my own pacing, PT so not a reflection on surgeons work, I'm just a tough patient. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing ortho surgery, you can at least be sure to have an ethical, honest and skilled doctor in your corner. You will find these qualities with Dr Quereshi AND his staff!

Dr. Qureshi is very GOOD and very knowledgeable surgeon. i had C1-C2 fusion a year ago and i was very pleased with the result. Dr. Qureshi explained every detail what needs to be done and even on all my post-op visit. i will highly recommend him to anybody who needs his services.

Abid A. Qureshi, M.D. is without a doubt a medical version of a magician.   Dr. Qureshi,  is very focused and committed to his patient. Before meeting him I could barely walk or stand due to a massive cyst logged between my L4 and L5.  Dr Qureshi took control and did what needed to be done to get me back on the golf course. The pain is now but faded memory. Although I don't wish the back pain I dealt with, if you need a great back surgeon Dr. Qureshi is the man your looking for. Thank you Dr. Qureshi

I have been very happy with Dr. Qureshi. I have scoliosis and my L4 and L5 discs are almost completely degenerated. I live in constant pain. He is a magician when it comes to the epidural. It's like instant pain relief. It depends on how stupid I am (AKA: If I start running again), but it usually last 4 months. He's always very patient and explains what's going on and why he thinks we should approach it how we should. Plus, his assistant Becky and his NP, Angela (I really hope I didn't get her name wrong, but I think I did), are wonderful too.

Dr. Qureshi is wonderful!!! I wouldn't trust my back to anyone but him! He is a very warm, caring, and compassionate physician which I think is unusual for a surgeon. He is also very knowledgeable and thorough. I have now had my second lumbar fusion with Dr. Qureshi and doing well. My first fusion 4 1/2 years ago was a complete success and I have no reason but to believe that my second surgery will also be. I am an avid cyclist and was able to climb Mt. Diablo after having been back on bike for 5 months after my first surgery.

Dr, Qureshi is a fantastic surgeon he is focused and thorough.  I was experiencing severe pain from Spinal Stenosis.  At the first visit he put me at ease and recommended a surgical procedure with the caveat that the relief would be immediate and 100%.  He delivered on his promise.

he did 5 decompressions in my lower back hes a grate doc all the staff is good dave dogen replased my hips a yeare after my back he did bothe hips at the same time if he was still her he wood git 5 stares to

Dr. Qureshi is the most intellligent, kindest human being I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He re-built my spine and gave me my life back (by the grace of God) when I couldn't even sit up.

Dr. Qureshi is amazing.  He is patient, calm and very warm and caring.  I was able to see him within a week after scheduling.  While waiting in the exam room, an orderly came in and ushered me to get my Xray, first.  Came back into the room and Dr. Qureshi and his P.A. came right in.  Told me what they saw was wrong...and then ordered an MRI for additional follow up.   MRI was done within a week and follow up in 2-weeks.  Dr. Qureshi discussed my MRI findings in great detail.  Although they cannot treat what my condition is, offered an epidural injection for pain relief and told me that my "quality of life" was very important right now, and they wanted to help me with it.   Muir Ortho and Dr. Qureshi have been fabulous in the three visits I've had there (Initial meeting, MRI and Follow up).  I really cannot say enough good abou them.

Dr. Qureshi is wonderful!  He has such a warm and caring approach to his patients.  I had a herniated disk and had a spinal fusion in October of 2010.  I feel very confident in Dr. Qureshi'.s knowledge and ability.  I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to have back surgery.  His staff is also very knowledgeable and friendly.  This is a very caring doctor.

It has now been 3 months since my surgery and I am getting better slowly but surely.
