Salim Rahman

Don’t think I could say anything bad about this doc! He is nice, does an awesome job with surgery, and his staff is the best I’ve ever dealt with!! If your having a bad back problem I would highly recommended him! They do everything from shots in the back to major surgery. Unfortunately I had to go with the major surgery. I’m 8 months out, and it’s better than it was before and seems to be getting better. Can only hope, but if I ever have to have another one this would be my choice. Springfield area is lucky to have a surgeon of this quality !! Don’t think I could say anything bad about this doc!

Great Dr. Success on my back!

Excellent care, surgery went great!

Dr. Rahman has done two surgeries on me. He did my herniated neck at C3/C4 and used titanium rod, plates and screws, in 2001. He also repaired lower back herniation, in 2015. Both surgeries a complete success! I am currently in need of another surgery, so back to Dr. Rahman I go! He is exceptionally thorough and he won’t do surgery if he doesn’t believe it will help you. His thoroughness has included Myelogram and alternative means of isolating the pain, ie, facet injections, rhizotomy (nerve ablation). I’m glad this doctor doesn’t rush right into cutting. The way I originally discovered Dr. Rahman was I asked all of my different doctors, “if you needed this surgery, who would you want to do it?” The answer, more than once, was Salim Rahman. If he’s good enough and trusted enough for my doctors to say they’d want him to do their surgery, then he’s more than good enough for me. Thank you Dr Rahman for being the open, honest, and caring doctor that you are.

I saw Dr. Rahman many years ago. He did my 1st surg. I would recommend him way before ANYONE ELSE

My wife has been with him for about 18 years and 2 difficult surgeries including caging her spine. After healing, she never had another problem. Her life was normal. I was evacuated in on two separate occasions. Broken neck at c2. Given A 1% chance to survive. Stopped breathing twice, put on life support. Obviously, to everyone's amazement, I survived. Not only that, I am thriving today. I owe that to the superior care I got from NTICU under Dr. Rahman's direction. I owe him my life. A big thanks to Linda also. What a Princess. His team is just extraordinary. So recently I am once again air evacuated to NTICU with bleeding on the brain. Again in the hands of Dr. Rahman. Thank God! I was returned to my original condition and released from him on 7/16/19 to return to a normal life. I cannot say enough good about him and his wonderful staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I turned 76 on 7/25/19.

Excellent physician. Some times a bit hard to understand if you have hearing problems. Will not operated if he does not think it will help you. I have had friends that neurosurgeons when they were not sure of the problem and left them in extreme pain. Both my husband and my self have had spinal surgery by Dr. Rahman and have had excellent results.

I have been w/Dr. Rahman since 2000. I have degenerative disease requiring several fusions. I have always found him professional, thorough and compassionate. His staff are highly trained & has same passions for their patients going out of their way to get questions & concerns answered. I respect Dr. Rahman very much& highly recommend him. I needed an evaluation on another issue & Dr. Rahman was able to provide referral & consult w/Dr. Mumsert-same location. He & staff professional & caring.

My husband has had 4 different back surgeries by Dr, Rahman and has had excellent outcomes. I would and do recommend him to family and friends.

I have had three spinal surgeries with Dr. Rahman and in short, the man gave me my life back all three times. Fusions are not permanent solutions and can, at times lead to other surgeries. Fusions, from my perspective, are always better than pain. Dr. Rahman and his team are caring, kind, and truly want to help people feel better. I have spinal stenosis and every surgery relieved the pain to where I actually had a life again without constant pain. Thank you Dr. Rahman, Matthew, Linda, and Susan!

Although, it took over 1 1/2 hours waiting to see the Dr. he explained my situation very well and seemed to know what he was talking about. I was completely satisfied with his explanation during the visit. Great staff.

I've had back pain for over 1 year and was seeing other back doctors. I decided to get a second opinion and dr Rahman told me I needed surgery. I had the surgery and have been doing great for 6 years. He's straight forward and honest. Really great surgeon. Thank you
