Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unacceptable wait times
I waited in a small waiting room where over 12 people were smashed together No consideration for Covid guidelines I waited an hour and was told it could be another 30 minutes or more As it turns out 5 patients are booked at the same time So here will always be an unacceptable wait time further his referral for PT was not accepted by my insurance as he is unwilling to review and approve therapists notes

Perfunctory-So called professional – May 21, 2021

I am eternally grateful to Dr. Amini who performed life-saving surgery on my husband. After a scary diagnosis, I felt like my husband was in great hands with Dr Amini from the initial consult. He had great bedside manner and remained in contact with us frequently, which really helped settled out nerves. He even performed the surgery 2 days earlier than scheduled, on a weekend when he wasn’t on call.

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Amini for performing two spine surgeries on me within five months. His professional expertise and his confidence made me comfortable and eased my anxiety. The surgeries relived my pain and put me back on my feet. I truly appreciate his humility, dedication, and compassion in caring for his patients. It is with great joy that I wish Dr. Amini many rewarding years in his personal and professional endeavors.

Dr. Amini is amazing. January 2021. My 88 year old mother suffered sever shooting pain down both legs that kept her up all night long. Every Orthopedic and Spine Doctor told her that is was Sciatic Nerve pain from the lower back and pain management and shots and Physical Therapy would relive the pain. WRONG. Until she lost the use of her legs totally within months and much told of too weak of muscles. All the Doctors were WRONG AGAIN. Dr. Amini gave her three MRI's within three days. Within hours she was in immediate emergency surgery to remove a Thoracic Cystic Massive Tumor that wrapped around her spine and her nerve column. Yes Thoracic area. He was precisive on examining every MRI and in very close contact with the family members throughout the surgery. She is pain free from the first week and using her legs again with persistence to make it happen, and extensive physical therapy in a month. I highly recommend Dr. Amini. He is wonderful!

Stay away I don’t know whether ego, or greed made this man decide to convince my mother he could successfully perform a surgery that other doctors REFUSED to do. Either way, after trusting Dr. Amini and literally signing her life away, she is no longer with us. He gets payed, his test subject expires, and naturally he moves on. Not even a word to the family. It’s too late for us to change our outcome, so this review is for you. Protect your loved ones, or yourself and please, look elsewhere.

What a terrible doctor. Unprepared, rude and completely full of himself. He was late to begin my appointment by 30, came in assuming what I was there for, he was wrong, then didn’t listen to my concerns, rushed through the appointment and then said, well I’m the surgeon. Rude and unprepared with no bedside manners at all. Will never see him again.

i had a bad fall and was taken to the trauma center at Prince Georges medical center. This happen to be on a Fri. It was the follwing Tues that i ended up having surgery for a fractured vertabrae. Dr Amini performed a three level fusion. At first it was very tough but the pain finaly subsided along with normal walking after therapy. i thank Dr Amini each and every time i see him for pieces me back together. Also going to the two different offices resulted in vay short wait times.

I was referred to Dr. Amini by my family physician for a herniated disc in my back. His offices are very clean and well maintained. His bedside manner is fair at best...he is not a warm and fuzzy. He was very short in his answers as well...I seemed to have more questions than he was willing to answer.

Took my 94 year old mother to Dr Amini for follow up visit after Mom's ER visit for suspected cervical fracture. Staff very helpful in getting an appt quickly for early following week. Dr was precisely on time for appt, very thorough and conscientious, reviewed Mom's case in detail, provided detailed explanation of his findings and recommendations. Parking in building, wheelchair accessible. Mom sees a lot of healthcare providers, this was easily the most efficient and pleasant experience.
