Feb 26, 2022
Meeting Dr. Soumekh was the best thing that happened to me for my years long back pain. He explained his diagnosis and scheduled surgery promptly to correct the situation. I am now post surgery and on my way back to living my life without the debilitating pain that kept me from even walking. Dr. Soumekh, his team and staff made me feel safe, comfortable and now, grateful. I would recommend for anyone with neurological problems, to go see him! His many qualifications, years long experience and obvious compassion certainly characterize him as ‘the man with the Midas touch’ .
