About Shahin Etebar
Reviews for Shahin Etebar
I changed medical groups to get away from this guy. I was prepared to move if necessary. I moved to the valley in to be close to the doctor who installed my pain pump, Dr. C Edward Anderson. That move turned out well. That I was prepared to move again (keep my insurance and change groups) should tell you all you need to know.
Unfortunately, Dr . Etebar has done 3 surgeries on my mother and they continue to be unsuccessful. Every time we show him the reports, he denies her condition and continues to send her to other doctors for things that she doesn't have. Just do your homework and make sure that the doctor really listens.
Dr. Etebar has my best interest and always asks questions as to my mobility, my pain levels, and progress. He genuinely listens to me and answers my questions in a clear and understand way. I have diligently followed his instructions and am very pleased with the results of my surgery. He and is staff are very friendly and concerned. I thank them so very much for all the help they have provided me.
Dr Etebar makes one the center of attention during your appointment .... after his thorough exam any and all questions are addressed with concise and very understandable answers.
I spend a lot of time in doctors appointments and I had read reviews of people complaining about wait times. However, the staff was amazing and the wait was worth every minute.. I finally. Felt like someone understood and knew how to help me. I recommend everyone to him. You don’t always know who you can trust when you’re in the kind of pain I’m in. The second I shook his hand I was totally at ease. Thank you so much for caring about your patients and beyond! ??
Dr. Shahin Etebar is noted for his surgical expertise; I suppose he did a nice job on my L2-L4 fusion. But performing surgery is only part of a successful surgeon. Post surgery, his concern about me and my questions were non-existent. Queries about discrepancies on an X-Ray summary and the doctor's account on Eisenhower's My Chart fell on deaf ears. No one would talk to me about this situation, nor have Dr. Etebar call me (he doesn't call patients), nor give me an appointment sooner than my 2 ½ week post-op appt. Every call for whatever reason, was ignored or shined on. Trouble with my meds - no response. Needing a prescription refilled took 3 days of requests. For another prescription, I finally contacted my primary physician to get it refilled. Lack of space prevents other problems being discussed. There have got to be other neurosurgeons who are just as skilled with staffs who are knowledgable and treat patients with respect and courtesy. Dr. Etebar's practice is not one of them.
I was referred to Dr. Etebar for back problems associated with “drop foot”. He recommended immediate surgery on my back and this was scheduled very quickly. Since the surgery in early June 2020, I have experienced zero pain from the ti e I woke up from the anesthetic until now, which 8 found amazing. The drop foot is improving and I have had two follow up office visits so far. I am extremely pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Etebar and have found his office staff very pleasant and solicitous. I consider myself fortunate to have been referred to him.
I saw Dr. Etebar after suffering over a year with pain that went from my rt buttock to my foot which was numb. I could barely walk, stand, or drive. At 58, I needed a walker almost full time. Following his exam and testing Dr. Etebar said the only way I'd get relief was spinal fusion -- he'd have to open my back at the lower spine, make space between L5 & S1, insert a cage with donor bone, stabilize all with rods, and sew it up. I'd need 4 or 5 days in the hospital, a few months in a brace, and a longer period of no bending, lifting or twisting. I was scared but had Iittle choice. Dr. Etebar exuded confidence, his staff was professional and competent. The morning of surgery he was reassuring. The procedure took 4 or 5 hours. Later that day he insisted I get out of bed to begin his prescribed walking program, which I did. That was over 3 months ago. I've been pain-free since surgery and am returning to my old routines; the walker is only a distant memory. I highly recommend Dr. Etebar!
Our Success! Dr. Etebar and I worked “together” to achieve a successful surgery. An extensive cervical spine, C3-C7 Laminectomy with hardware and Thoracic T1-T2 Fusion. He impressively completed his surgical obligations and mine was to follow his attainable goals, he set forth. It was a lengthy recovery, eleven months but worth the effort. I no longer have the pressure headaches or various other systems, that burdened me for years. I trusted him and he trusted me, which lead us to “our success!”
Completely unbelievable experience. He is beyond XXXXXXX in his demands and demeanor. Not ever go near him or his office.
Today, May 14th, is one year anniversary of my back fusion. I no longer suffer from the pain of sciatica and, as of mid January, have resumed playing golf and other physical activities. I continue to exercise daily. However, as a result of the surgery, I now have neuropathy in both lower legs. It's more like a nuisance at this time, but this condition may change.
Office staff is digitally impaired. The Dr is caveler and arrogant, his office staff is not professional. Do not expect any more from the Dr than his staff has to offer.
I would highly recommend Dr. Etebar. I could not walk, sit or stand without severe pain before he did surgery on my spine.
My fiance was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in July of 2019. He was referred to Dr. Etebar by the Oncologist for neck surgery to stabilize his upper spine where the cancer had made his spine weak and, if he had taken a fall, he could have been paralyzed from the neck down. Surgery was done on Sept 17, 2018 and had titanium rods attached to both sides of his neck for stabilization. His recovery was smooth and is now back driving and living his life as before, even while continuing his chemotherapy. Dr. Etebar was very honest in his assessment of his condition and said if he followed through on his physical therapy he would have a good recovery. His office staff is very helpful and his assistant Shanika is terrific. I would trust Dr. Etebar with any surgery I would need. Chrys for J. Townsend
My experience was a very good one. The procedure went very well and recovery has gone smoothly. I would highly recommend him.
Dr. Etebar is ferm when it came to my health. No BS. He operated on my neck and three months later I'm no longer in my brace and feeling better. His staff is amazing. Courtney was my go-to after surgery,as hospital nurses there had no answers. Shanikka,the Drs assistant is so kind and caring. And Marisol could answer any questions I asked Very pleased with Dr. Etebar in and out of surgery and highly recommend him. Great Job Doc!
Clear explanation and diagnosis of back pain
Exceptional ! Staff and facility 5***** I was so fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Etebar. Best of Class..and everyone who has observed my post operative recovery has extolled his Professional demeanor.
I had back surgery on March 14th of this year 2019, It has been really a blessing to have him as my surgeon, the recovery has been really good so far. I am going back for my final follow-up on March 2nd 2020, everything looks & feels, good so far. He is an excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend him!
I have read all of the negative reviews concerning doctor etebar, and I agree that the wait times are horrific. However, I walked in with massive pain, and walked out with no pain. The man is a God. I'm glad his mother forced him to go to medical school, rather than become a fireman.
SEVERE PAIN AND LOSS OF HAND GRIP PROMPTED A VISIT TO DR ETEBAR. SURGERY WAS DONE ON 2 NECK LEVELS AND FROM THE MOMENT I AWOKE FROM SURGERY ALL PAIN WAS GONE AND HAS NOT RETURNED...GRIP IS BACK...A VERY FINE SURGEON---GRAT BEDSIDE MANNER--TREATS HIS PATIENTS WITH THE HIGHEST PROFESSIONALISM AND HONESTY. DR ETEBAR IS HIGHLY SKILLED AND EXTREMELY WELL TRAINED. SHOULD ANOTHER NEUROSURGICAL PROBLEM OCCUR, I WILL RETURN TO DR ETEBAR FOR CONSULTATION. SAMUEL M COHEN MD (RETIRED SURGEON)
My GP made an appointment for me with a 21 day wait. Upon my arrival the receptionist barked at me because I didn’t have some paperwork that was supposedly mailed to me. She handed me a sheath of paperwork to complete which I did in about 20 minutes. About a half hour later I was called into an examination room where I waited for over 90 minutes before I inquired as to why my appointment was at 10:00 and it was now close to noon. The barking receptionist told me that the paperwork stated that I could expect to wait over two hours to see the doctor as he has very busy days in his office. I’ll chose to leave and find another specialist as I wasn’t prepared to wait that long, nor do I feel it’s appropriate to have to wait that long for an appointment then 2-3 hours waiting in a doctors office. His reception area is small with about 12 chairs and the patients waiting when I was there were older, rude, racist and quite inappropriate with their conversations. I couldn’t even concentrate.
From November to May I had pins and needles in my L shoulder and a nail-like pain in my neck. The morning after surgery it was gone. Recovery has been mostly a breeze. 3 months post-op I feel great with the neck brace off. Eisenhower, and doctor's, staff also a delight.
Dr. Etebar is the man! From the minute we met him we felt hope and a sense of relief and security that came from his confidence. To be able to help heal and fix what is broken in a person is nothing less than a miracle worker. He literally gave us back our lives on 12/4/18. Now, 6 months after surgery--there is no pain and life feels normal again. Dr. Etebar is a very special and gifted surgeon. We feel blessed since we found him!
The wait time is ridiculous and Dr Etebar literally doesn’t care that you have to wait over two hours to see him! He may be a great surgeon but he has horrible bed side manners or any consideration for other people’s time. His staff is rude and incompetent too especially his medical assistant Rachelle.
I had a GREAT experience with Dr. Etebar! Intensive Back surgery May 3, 2018. It's now the same time but a year later. NO pain! I am doing good but still on the walker. If you are in pain please visit with the doctor and set a date! Barbara Wasem Visalia, CA
He and his staff are amazing! Surgery on my back was life changing, from excruciating pain to no pain.
Incompetent staff and knowledge of insurance plans
BEST DR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!
I was referred by a friend for my lower back pain. His office kept me waiting for nearly two hours. No acknowledgement of how late he was. Rather, he rushed me when I attempted to ask questions regarding my condition and the various treatment options. I found him very rude. I probably should of taken my friend with me. He was more interested to find out how she was doing.
This was my 2nd appointment with Dr. Etebar. On my first appointment I was seen in a timely manner. At this appointment, I waited two hours, while Dr. Etebar saw other patients, who came in after I did.... ahead of me. I finally gave up and walked out. I am very disappointment at this lack of respect for his patient's time and effort. I am a registered nurse, and would not allow my physician to do this with any of his patients. unless there was a 7.0 earthquake. Good luck!
I saw Dr Etebar in the in 2017, Waited for 2 hours. He waltzed in and said I needed surgery. I was stunned I thought Physical Therapy was the answer. I tried to wrap my head around surgery and had more questions and they would not let me speak to him. I had no information to make a correct decision on surgery. The office staff was rude and uncaring. Don't waste you time.
if I ever need surgery again I would have dr Etebar do it
After unsuccessful laser surgery Dr Etebar performed cervical fusion on me. I could not recommend him or his staff more. He was very conscientious and professional. I did a lot of research and his reputation was impeccable. He more than lived up it. My life is so much better because of him, and I am greatful for his talent and dedication. Anyone who needs surgery would be fortunate to have him perform it. The bottom line this man has some huge skill sets and his staff is excellent.
Dr. Etebar treated my acute condition most professionally following the series of MRI and exams necessary to accurately define my spinal problem. Prior to surgery, Dr. Etebar explained the process and expected results, and gave me a realistic understanding of recuperation time. I have felt confident with the doctor's work and am actually ahead of the timeline laid out for my recovery.
Dr. Eterbar did major surgery on my back. I was 80 years old, in terrible pain and nervous because of my age, to have the surgery. Dr Eterbar and his team were more than brilliant, the follow up appointments were never rushed and he always had time to answer all my questions. I am pain free and I give the Dr. 5 stars.
Dr. Etebar has been a godsend for me. I had 2 vertebrae slipping in opposite directions and pitching the L5/S1 nerve. Dr. Etebar attached a plate to these vertebrae to prevent the slipping & align them correctly and now the pain is gone. I can't thank him enough for the wonderful results I have received as a result of his excellent knowledge & expertise in performing my successful surgery. He has truly improved my life! I highly recommend you to anyone needing this surgery. Thank you!!
My wife has just finished having a fusion surgery by Dr Etebar. From our very first visit to his office we were impressed by the friendliness of his staff from our meeting with receptionist and all the assistants and nurses that work with him. Dr Etebar took the time to go through the evaluation phase all the way to determining that the surgery was the best course of action. The surgery was a success and subsequent follow ups with the Dr and office staff continue to be outstanding. The BEST Dr.
I can't say enough good things about this incredible man. I thought my spinal condition was beyond repair. My pain and lack of mobility cost me my career and it was only getting worse. Dr. Etebar's confidence and manner put me immediately at ease, and I knew I had found the best neurosurgeon possible. My surgical procedure was a long and complex one, but in less than a year I'm standing straight and free from pain for the first time in years. I've got my life back. He is the greatest!
Be very careful if you go here. I was told that they took my insurance and paid my $40 copay. Now almost a year later I’m being billed $644. Christine the office manager is openly hostile on the phone. The only thing the doctor did for me was mark webpages on my phone. Honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had with any doctor. Be prepared to pay a lot of money for very little service.

All of these comments are ridiculous. Dr. Etebar is an amazing surgeon. His staff is very nice and professional. Yes the wait time is long but it is worth it. I feel bad for the staff who have to deal with patients who are rude and impatient. I can't wait for my next appt.
What happened?!? This once happy man turned into someone angry, bitter and cruel. Saw Dr. Etebar in early 2015 for disc issues. He patiently explained what was wrong and encouraged me to not get surgery. I loved his honesty, positivity and energy. I returned to see doctor Etebar 2.5 years later as my back issues had gotten worse. This once happy doctor I saw is now bitter, cynical, angry and mean. Go anywhere else but here. My trust in him is lost. Wait times are ridiculous too.

Stop and run if you can! After two visits with Etebar I RAN! After waiting for an hour and half to see him in his office twice, with an office staff that is clueless as he was! When I finally did meet the doctor he told me to look at his webpage for the answers to my back problem, he was so nice he even book marked his website on my phone too! I got stuck with a $1200.00 bill to have his website bookmark put on my phone's web browser! He could carless about my pain or my condition.
He was disinterested and distant,. gave me nothing but bad news. had to wait months just to see his PA (or NP) and even she acted like she didn't want to be there. then 6 weeks later when I got to see the Dr. he was all doom and gloom. not that he couldn't do it but all the things that I would have to do and how tough it would be for me. had to wait in his office for >2 hours. staff never said they were running late. take an extra battery for your phone. I'm only 61 and in good health.
Staff is very rude. Bring several books with you as they are ALWAYS running late by a few hours. Their billing system is a mess. One person says you don't owe then the other person says you do. Will make you have MRI and XRays prior to visiting to see if you are a candidate but then show up and Etebar had never reviewed them.

Dr. Etebar explains the procedure to be performed in detail and answers patient questions so they are able to understand the procedure. He provides direction and limitations to be experienced which if followed will assure post surgery success.

My experience with Dr. Etebar at the DS&NI was without a doubt one of the worst encounters I have ever experienced at a doctor's office especially in the last year searching for some answers and/or relief for my Atypical Facial Neuralgia of which Dr. Etebar had absolutely no knowledge of this type of neuralgia. The staff was incompetent in getting the appointment time correct and I had to wait 2 1/2 hours before seeing Dr. Etebar. This office is a disgrace to the medical profession.
