There is no way I could find more knowledgeable and caring person than Dr. Farin.
Living with a lots of pain for few years to becoming disable and losing the hope until finding incredible surgeon and person like Doctor Farin was blessing for me.
Today is March 08, 2021(18 days after surgery) and I couldn't believe that one day I can walk, sit, sleep without pain.
The first day I visit her office in Long beach, I was impressed by the way of she explaining and making sure that I understand what was causing my pain. I was suffering with back pain and pain was radiated to my buttocks and legs for few years due to injurie from sport as well as car accident until about a month ago pain became so severe that make me disable. On Feb 16, 2021 my wife had to take me to ER (Long beach Memorial Hospital), since walking become impossible for me and I though I am totally disable.
Make the story short on Feb 17, 2021 I had the surgery done with incredible result of being pain free right after the surgery and able to stand and walk next day and being discharge also next day (Feb 18, 2021).
I should add that I have seen another Neurosurgeon 1 year and half prior but I have been told that I do need screws in my back and has to be through my stomach and will be serious surgery which scared me enough of not doing that. I am so grateful knowing Doctor Azadeh Farin and would like to thank her million times again. Also I would like to thank the entire personnel working in Memorial hospital, specially those who was caring for me on the time I was hospitalized and of course I would like to thank Ann (Dr. Farin's office manager) for coordinating everything and being so caring person as well. I wish I could give Dr. Farin and her crew 100 star.

Dr. Farin has been very great in explaining all my records versus some of the doctors who just look at them and tell me to come back.

I originally was scheduled to be seen by another neurosurgeon for a possible laminectomy who I had a good experience with in the past but at the last minute he left the practice. I was referred to another neurosurgeon by my primary care doctor who after researching I was not comfortable with. I did my own research of neurosurgeons within my medical group and came across Dr. Farin who has incredibly positive reviews. When I am looking for a doctor I review mostly for their medical experience and after treatment success stories. I consulted with Dr. Farin and was extremely impressed with her attention to detail and time she spent with me discussing my options. At no time did she push to perform surgery and encouraged me to look at all my options. Since I had already had back surgery for stenosis and the X-rays and MRI showed that more had developed so I opted to have the laminectomy in July of 2020. The surgery went very well, and I was up and out of the hospital quickly. It is now January of 2021 and am 98% pain free and my quality of life is much so much better than prior to the surgery. I am my own dedicated advocate to receive the best care possible and do research my doctors and procedures until my comfort level is high and I believe that I am making the best decision for success. I highly recommend and Dr. Farin and will see her again if I develop in new stenosis. Thank You Dr. Farin...

I have several serious back disorders and had put off surgery for seven years, using four medications to manage the increasing pain. When it became unbearable, my primary care physician referred me to Dr. Farin. Other doctors I consulted along the way were familiar with Dr. Farin, and encouraged me to consult with her should I decide on surgery. Although I am almost 70, I had an active life that was on hold due to the severe pain. Discussion at my first appointment with Dr. Farin let me know that I would need surgery, and I knew then that she would be the one to perform it.
I am almost eight weeks out from a hemilaminotomy, and I am on my way back to a normal life. Although the surgery was much more extensive than originally thought, the pain is gone and I am resuming the activities that had been on hold before the surgery. Of course, I am extremely happy with the results of the surgery, but what impressed me the most was/IS
Dr. Farin herself. At every appointment before and after the surgery, I never left without a complete explanation of every aspect of the visit and information about the surgery, with her gaining acknowledgement of my understanding. She was right there every day of my hospitalization, immediately addressed any concern, and promptly returned every call I made to her via phone or email. I have never had such a responsive doctor. I remember asking her a question during a post-surgery visit while she was standing behind me, checking my incision. She moved right around me to look at me while answering the question. Maybe this would not seem important to other patients, but it was to me. This type of surgery is intimate and traumatic to the body and mind, and knowing that Dr. Farin sees me as a person, rather than just another back, is helping me through it. I feel fortunate to have entrusted this part of my healthcare to her, and I am extremely grateful to her.
