"Dr. Tayyab and charge nurse Tanya: Best Doctor and best charge nurse in USA! Dr. Tayyab and Charge Nurse Tanya are the best in the world. I was seriously hurt fighting massive brush fires in California in December. I’ve had the most professional, prompt, and courteous. Dr. Tayyab and his great nurse Tanya helped me get treated and healed so I can go back to tillering my ladder truck in LA. Excellent care. These are the best professionals you want in your corner when you’re hurt. They care about you, your health and getting me back to what I love most. Being a LA fireman. I sum up the care as this, “Integrity without compromise”. Hands down nicest, professional, caring staff I’ve ever met in my 25 years as a fireman."

I was in pain for six years and now I am pain free and able to get back to my life. Dr. Tayyab suggested the surgery two years ago, but I was reluctant. He was very patient and supportive of me taking my time. After rounds of physical therapy and trying every alternative medicine you can imagine, I decided to visit Dr. Tayyab again to schedule surgery. I have zero regrets. The pain I had before the surgery was gone immediately! I am forever grateful to Dr. Tayyab and his staff!

Dr. Tayyab has been treating me for my lower back injuries for the past seven years. I was referred to him by Dr. Kimball who has been treating me for my knees and shoulders over the years. Dr. Tayyab, Tanya and the rest of his staff have been amazing from day one. Hands down the most caring and helpful orthopedic surgeon I have ever had. I have experienced a few horrible injuries as a fireman in Los Angeles and I have seen several different surgeons over my thirty two year career. Dr. Tayyab is the Best! He put my health and happiness first, along with many of my fellow fireman I have referred to him. I feel like a different person since the spinal fusion he performed on my back. Thank you so much Dr. Tayyab

Dr. Neil Tayyab performed my neck fusion operation and corrected an abnormal curvature. The x-ray results showed a perfect alignment! I was in the best care I could've possibly wanted! I can never thank Dr. Tayyab and his amazing medical assistant, Tanya, enough for the care, concern, dedication and support shown! They are truly golden!!
