FEATURED TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Hasan if very knowledgeable and approachable and competent. I’ve had 2 endoscopic spine surgery procedures with him and my mobility and freedom from pain were immediate. The recovery was quick free of complications and I barely have any scars from the arthroscopic surgery he performed on me. I highly recommend him. His work has greatly improved my life.
Dr Saqib Hasan helped me with my back pain, with minimal invasive surgery. He took his time to explain my back/spine problem after looking into my MRI and X-RAYS. He answered all my questions very clear. Suggested treatment options, step by step. My surgery was successful and am feeling much better.
Let me just say, I was in good hands. Thank you so much Dr Hasan.
Dr. Hasan is an excellent Dr and surgeon. He is very knowledgeable and detailed. During my first visit he immediately identified an issuer that was missed by my previous Dr. His car after surgery has been just as excellent.

Reviews
About Dr Hasan
Dr. Hasan treated my father and the following review was written by him: During the course of 2022 I gradually developed first a hip pain, that progressed into a lower back pain, a paralyzing pain in my left leg, with partial numbness. In a course of a few month, I transformed from a 2 1/2 miles a day, five times a week jogger into a semi-crippled man. I was referred to Dr. Hasan by my physician, and he diagnosed the source of my problem to a cyst on my lower back. We agreed on a two-pronged treatment, first an epidural injection, and later an endoscopic spine surgery. Unfortunately, the injection caused only a temporary relief. After that my condition was deteriorating, and I started to worry if the surgery would do any good. I got very detailed instructions how to prepare for the surgery. Both Dr.Hasan and his assistants called, so I knew I was in good hands. The surgery took place on January 30, 2023. The preparation for the surgery was fun, all the nurses were very kind and had good humor. About the surgery I don't know anything, during it I was sleeping peacefully. When I woke up, I was waiting for the pain to come. It has never come! I was well prepared with four different kind of pain medication, and I didn't need any, except a few pills of Tylenol during the one and half day. My wife and daughter were waiting for me after the surgery to take me home, and they could not believe their eyes how easily and erect I was walking to the car. Since then, all the family members and close friends have been marveling how fast and how well I recovered. There is no other explanation than that Dr.Hasan must have a magic wand; I think he did a miracle. Now, two weeks after the surgery I feel very fit, and waiting for the green light to start my daily 2 1/2 miles jogging exercise.
My father was Dr. Hasan's patient and the following review was written by him: During the course of 2022 I gradually developed first a hip pain, that progressed into a lower back pain, a paralyzing pain in my left leg, with partial numbness. In a course of a few months, I transformed from a 2 ½ miles a day, five times a week jogger into a semi-crippled man. I was referred to Dr. Hasan by my physician, and he diagnosed the source of my problem to a cyst on my lower back.

My spinal fusion surgery was very successful! The horrible pain has gone! Dr. Hasan is an excellent doctor and a skillful surgeon. Easy to communicate with. Great bedside manner! I highly recommend him.
Dr. Hasan performed back surgery on my husband. He has been very helpful and informative through out the whole process. My husband’s surgery went very well, he is now 3 months post op and is so happy with the results. Dr. Hasan is wonderful!
I would give Dr. Hasan six stars if I could. One year ago he performed the endoscopic disc surgery in my neck and it literally changed my life. Prior to the surgery I was in constant discomfort with pain not only in my neck but radiating all the way down my shoulder and into my hand. I literally woke up in recovery in tears because the pain was gone. The minimally evasive endoscopic procedure gave me the ability to have a much shorter recovery period and on the road to transforming my life. Without the pain I was finally able to make fitness a priority and I as able to go from 240 to 166 pounds. I absolutely credit Dr. Hasan for clearing the way to give me the ability to make this possible. He is a gifted surgeon and a really great guy.
Dr Hasan and his team really care about their patience. From the diagnosis to the post operation appt, the experience with Dr. Hasan was better than I could have expected. He was thorough with all the options, details, expectations, and making sure I understood everything that was happening and going to happen. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon.
Very nice people great service like that they take there time with you answering all questions and helping you in every way they can to get better and what they do works very good
I'm almost 63 years, hurt my back when I was 40 years old. Over the time I couldn't be as active I used to be. After a car accident in 2021, my back got worsen. I wasn't able to walk for five minutes and had consent pain. I became depressed and lost motivation in life. The back pain took over my life, I've seen three spine surgeon in the past ten years but none could convenience me to go with back surgery. When my pain management specialist told me that I had no choice but surgery I started looking for someone I could trust. When I met Dr. Hasan for first time, after two minutes I knew he is the one. He walked in telling me he knew what he can do for me but wanted to know what I Want. My respond was "give me my life back". He responded with absolute certainty that he cold do it. He explained in detail what the procedure was and the outcome of the surgery. He gave me hope and decided to go for the surgery without any doubt Dr Hasan performed the surgery on December 23rd 2022, it hasn't been two months and I see him every six weeks but I have at least 85% better. I recently started walking without any spasms or cramps in my right foot or lover back. The process of recovery for me is three months but I do feel I'm getting back to be the active person I was twenty years ago and it is all because of Doctor Hasan. He is an amazing doctor and very kind and happy person. I feel so blessed to get to know and trust him with my back. Thank you Doctor Hasan, please know that I do owe my life to you because before the surgery I didn't think I had a life. Farzaneh Soliamani
I have already recommended Dr. Hasan to several of my friends and their friends.I was initially so reluctant to consider any treatment related to back surgery but after many alternative treatments I met with Dr.Hasan twice (and yes, I did get a second opinion as well, with a doctor who proposed a much more invasive approach). I recognized that Dr. Hasan was the one I could trust. I am forever grateful to him to actually be free of nerve pain and all the other muscle pains that must have exacerbated my back issues. I appreciated the personal time he took with me to help me understand the procedure and his attention to preparing me for the limitations I would eventually face with a fusion. He also suggested dietary recommendations with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables to prepare for surgery and recovery. My recovery time is one month in and I couldn’t be more relieved with the absence of pain. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hasan to my best friend!
Dr. Hasan performed my Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion (ACDF) procedure and I could not be more pleased. Dr. Hasan thoroughly explained the process including what to expect during recovery. He gave me time to make my decision for surgery and cheerfully answered my many questions about the procedure. Dr. Hasan and his team are excellent and I highly recommend him for this procedure. I am 4 months post-op and doing great! Thank you Dr. Hasan.

I was referred to Dr Hassan after injuring my back at work. I’m about 5 weeks past the procedure and the results are nothing short of miraculous. Can’t thank him enough.
Dr Hasan did a lumbar laparoscopic surgery on me and I haven’t looked back. Everything he said is n pre-op was absolutely correct. I felt happy with my decision from the very start. The procedure was exactly what I needed.
I have had two previous back Discectomy surgeries both were successful but I just had my third Discectomy with Dr.Hassan and what a difference in my recover time and getting back to normal with out any pain. Great experience !
