Alexander Ghanayem

Dishonest Dr works for insurance. Didn't tell the truth on my Ime.

I have significant back pain. Called to make appointment and had to schedule two months out. Show up at appointment to be told the doctor cancelled your appointment. I only wish he had let me in on it. No calls, no emails, no voicemails, no texts. "Sorry, he's not here today. The best I can do is reschedule you for two months from now. " I hope his surgical skills are better than his office skills. Thanks.

Not a good Doctor,very arrogant and belittling.

I has a previous surgery at Rush which went terribly bad. I was crippled and couldn't walk after surgery at Rush and they said wait a couple weeks for an appointment. Dr Ghanayem put in a human bone brace and titanium at L3/L4. Plus he found a L4/L5 synovial facet which was removed. I still have minor issues but now much better.

I had a complicated lower back problem and was caught between no insurance coverage and work comp (what a pain). My lawyer and the work comp lawyer agreed to let me see Dr G and told me whatever he says, goes--that he is the most honest, trusted spine surgeon in the area. Wow--they were right. He figured out my problem, told both laywers and everything got approved. I'm 8 weeks from my surgery and feel so much better already.

Horrible dishonest doctor that examined me for 1 min. If you have him as an IME for a work related injury, he will send you back to work and lie on his report. LIARRR, If I could do 0 stars I would. Seek treatment elsewhere !

Destroys peoples lives by getting paid alot to supply false reports against injured workers, horrible person when money trumps peoples well being!!!

Horrible dishonest doctor. Blatantly lied about my injuries, acted like he cared and then wrote that I should go back to work regular duty when I can barely walk with assistance. Disgusting

Truly a fantastic spinal surgeon!

I brought my 84 year old, wheelchair bound aunt to see Dr. Ghanayem today. She is in a wheelchair from a compressed vertebrae. He was very kind and thoughtful in his interactions with her. In the end, I appreciated his honesty. He said that in his opinion spinal surgery was too dangerous at her advanced age and that she was best to remain as is. Wow! I was so impressed that he did not try to sell surgery, and related to us the dangers of it at her age, and unlikelihood of a full recovery.

Great Docotor and Great Person. Attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. He had saved me a couple of times. I lost the use of my hands and left leg. Other doctors said it was from previous Lumbar surgeries and I had to live with it. Dr. Ghanayem diagnosed it in 1 day and operated in 2 days for a Cervical problem (laminoplasty surgery was done). My hands and leg were back to normal in 1 day. Great Docotor and Great Person. Attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. He had saved me a couple of times. I lost the use of my hands and left leg.

Reviewed my history for 2yrs. And treatment for hip and leg pain and now edema in legs, feet, ankles. Not sciatic but vascular disease! Pain so bad can barely walk. Had received epidurals at pain clinic and no wonder epidurals not effective! Great personality as well as the two interns who worked with him. Now I know and getting referral to vascular doctor!
