Dr. Daftari was amazing. I threw my back out in early June 2025 and after waking up a week later with excruciating burning leg pain I went looking for help after the urgent care couldn't assist me. Enter Dr. Daftari, who went right to work trying to figure out what was going on. Within a day I had an MRI within two a diagnosis of a herniated L2-L3. In true fashion I herniated in a really weird place, and it went in the wrong direction completely pinching my nerve. Dr. Daftari provided me with options and explanations. A week after starting the process I was in surgery. The Dr. and his amazing assistant Cora fought for my insurance to approve the surgery without trying the epidural or physical therapy first. In the end it was the best decision. Six weeks post-surgery and I feel amazing. Recovery was smooth and the pain was managed and minimal thanks to all the care and concern from Resurgens. For those of you looking for help and trying to decide where to start I suggest you go here! Don't be afraid to go straight to surgery, options are always great but, in my case, I would have been faced with permanent nerve damage and lifelong pain had I not seen Dr. Daftari. I can't thank him and his team enough.

Everyone at Resurgeons was just extra nice to me. The whole staff tried to help me be comfortable. I appreciate the young lady that did my x-rays and saw that I was in too much pain to walk back to the room, so she took me in a wheelchair. That really was a lifesaver because my pain level is past the highest point on the scale. I was so relieved when Dr. Daftari said that I definitely need surgery. I pray that God will bless each person that helps me in a special manner. God bless each of you πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ

Dr Daftari was fantastic. I was in incredible pain. He immediately knew what I needed and how to help me. I’m already much better after just a few days after seeing him.
