Their words speak to the importance of accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and the trust built with our team. If you're considering spine surgery or want to explore your options, we invite you to explore these reviews as you consider your own path toward relief.
"Before I saw Dr. Siddiqui, I was almost at maximum pain medication. I was homebound most of the time the last 2 years. I spent a lot of my time in bed because lying down offered some relief from pain. My quality of life was gone. I had already tried injections, burning of nerves and physical therapy. Nothing helped. I was in dire need of surgery. My doctor reffered me to Dr. Siddiqui. What a Godsend he was! I had a Lumbar Laminectomy done. It was a day of surgery here at surgery center , I woke up from surgery pain free!! After years of deliberating pain, I thought nothing would help me. Boy, I was wrong! Dr. Siddiqui is very caring and professional. I was walking again, I got my life back. I also had to have neck surgery, which he performed about 6 weeks later. I am getting out in the world and enjoying life again! I thought I would never see this day. Thank you Dr. Siddiqui!"
"Dr. Siddiqui and his staff make every visit warm, comfortable and welcoming. I can't imagine going anywhere else for spine surgery."
"Dr. Siddiqui is, without a doubt, one of the top doctors in his field. The Spine Center has all the latest technology and the staff really cares deeply about their patients. Recommended for sure!"
"My hunt for a great spine and back doctor is over! I was referred to Dr. Siddiqui for a spinal fusion procedure. They took care of me from beginning to end. True service!"
"Anyone who has dealt with a degenerative disc is aware of the pain and rehabilitation required for treatment. The Spine Center makes it as painless and easy as possible."
"I had tried nearly every method to fix my back pain and nothing worked. That all changed when I met Dr. Siddiqui. He relieved my pain without invasive surgery. Now I can enjoy life again!"
"The Spine Center has provided a level of care, compassion, and professionalism that is truly rare these days. I have been fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Siddiqui, Kayla, and previously, Rose—and every single step of my journey has been met with grace, patience, and true support.Dr. Siddiqui is an expert in his field—his experience and precision are immediately clear—but what truly stands out is his careful and methodical approach. He doesn’t rush into invasive procedures or offer quick fixes. Instead, he thoroughly evaluates everything: scans, history, pain level, and all possible underlying issues before making any decisions about treatment. That thoughtful, layered approach made me feel truly seen and safe as a patient.When my first rhizotomy didn’t provide the relief we hoped for due to the severity of my spinal injuries, Dr. Siddiqui made time to see me for a last-minute emergency appointment. He reassessed everything with a calm confidence that gave me peace of mind. I eventually had two rhizotomies—bilateral cervical and bilateral lower lumbar—and both were handled with such steady, gentle care that I never once felt afraid or tense. I was able to complete both procedures without even flinching.Kayla, the office manager, is the heart of this place. She goes above and beyond every single time. She’s deeply thoughtful, incredibly organized, and somehow still manages to make every patient feel like they’re her top priority—even while juggling a million things. There were moments when her kindness and encouragement were exactly what I needed to carry me through emotionally and mentally. And even though Rose is no longer there, I still want to thank her—because she and Kayla were both such a light to me during the most difficult parts of this journey.This team doesn’t just treat your condition—they care for the whole person. They’ll literally hold your hand if you need it, step away from their posts to comfort you, and check in just to make sure you’re okay. My husband and I are both so grateful for everything they’ve done. We felt supported every step of the way, and it made all the difference.If you’re looking for a spine care team that is not only medically excellent but also deeply compassionate and human, I can’t recommend The Spine Center enough. They gave me relief, hope, and comfort during one of the hardest times in my life. Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart."
"Unfortunately I was in a car accident and was referred by TJH. Best decision they could have done . He did my fusion and is helping me through all of my other issues. He has been my number one person who I know I can depend on actually taking care of me . Thank you Dr. so much for always going above and beyond. "
"Top-Notch Surgeon and Amazing Results - I traveled from Canada to have two surgeries with Dr. Siddiqui: C5-6, C6-7 Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) and L4-5, L5-S1 Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF). Dr. Siddiqui was exceptional throughout the process, from the initial consultation to post-op care. As an over-thinker, I appreciated his patience in addressing all my concerns, even scheduling a second appointment to reaffirm my decision.The results exceeded my expectations. Aside from minor discomfort at the abdominal incision site, I experienced no pain—remarkable given that I had four discs removed and four titanium plates and screws placed in my spine. By day two, I stopped taking pain medication and felt fine.While I’m still limiting lifting as the bone grafts fuse, I’ve been amazed by how normal I feel. Dr. Siddiqui and his team continue to follow my progress, including a rare abdominal muscle issue, and I trust I’m in great hands.Thank you, Dr. Siddiqui and staff!"

"Billy Gold is a Salesman who barged into the clinic with no appointment. He is not a patient. and never was a patient. He left a negative comment because he was asked to leave."
"Great Dr with awesome staff. I recovered quickly after a two level ACDF in January 2018 in San Antonio TX. Dr. Siddiqui is a very skilled surgeon and highly recommended. I was bounced around from chiropractors to pain management doctors that were useless. If you need surgery this is your guy! Honest and straightforward! I was able to return to work within 3 weeks."
"Very professional gave me all important information on my surgery highly recommended"
"Dr. Siddiqui has been treating me for multiple injuries as a result of a car accident I had a few years ago. Over the last 4 years he has been incredibly polite, very sincere, and genuinely concerned over my well being. I've never met a doctor as invested in his patients as Dr. Siddiqui. I never leave an office visit without having a very thorough discussion about what my options for treatment are, and he is very good about addressing all of my concerns and answering any questions I have. I like that he always tries to offer other options for treatment before putting surgery on the table. As a surgeon he truly outdoes himself too. I've had to have several surgeries since 2014 when I first became his patient, and he shows the same level of professionalism and care each time. Thanks to him I'm walking again, and slowly recovering from all I've had to suffer through. It feels wonderful to have such a caring doctor. His receptionist Eva is a wonderful person as well! Day or night, no matter the hour, she's there for me when I need to scheduled an appointment, get my records from other facilities, and answer any questions I have regarding post-op recovery. She is polite, highly efficient, kind, and just as caring as Dr. Siddiqui. In all my time going there, I've never seen her lose her temper or be rude to a patient, even when the office is full and the patients waiting become irritable or lose their own tempers. Both Dr. Siddiqui and Eva know how to treat their patients with kindness and understanding. They take their time with you, follow up with you, and make sure you're very satisfied with your care before you leave."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Siddiqui's since May 2014 after I was injured in a car accident. Over the last four years I have been treated by Dr. Siddiqui with nothing but kindness, compassion, and excellent care. I was one of his youngest patients when he first started treating me at the age of 20, and he was always very sympathetic and understanding of my hesitations and concerns regarding surgeries. I've always appreciated that he offers other treatment options first, before suggesting surgery as treatment. I have always been very grateful of that, as it always made me feel that he was taking my feelings and concerns into consideration, while also trying to find the best solution for my pain. Being so young, I had many reservations about agreeing to surgery at first, especially because I was so concerned about staying with all those scars. Dr. Siddiqui understood that, and showed me the most compassion any doctor has ever shown me when I expressed my fears, and even comforted me when the fear became too much and I cried. He is wonderfully kind, patient, and understanding. I have had four surgeries with him since then, and I can say with absolute honesty that I trust him with my life. He is an exceptionally skilled surgeon. His bedside manner before and after each procedure is great too. He always makes sure his patients are comfortable, and understand what their procedure will entail. I've never left an office visit without having my questions answered, even the ones regarding the impact of certain procedures on my health in the future. I love that he makes sure to take his time with each patient he sees. His receptionist Eva is amazing as well! She is so sweet, kind, and caring. She handles everything with great efficiency and never overlooks a single detail. She makes herself available day or night to answer my questions and schedule my appointments too. In all my time being treated by Dr. Siddiqui I've never seen her treat a patient unkindly. She is always very nice and professional, even to the patient's who become unruly in the waiting room. She's absolutely great! I'm still a patient of Dr. Siddiqui's and I can say, without hesitation, and with absolute certainty, that being treated by him has been an investment in my wellbeing."
"My experience with the surgeon and his staff are fantastic. The hospital where the surgery was performed was outstanding"
"Dr. Siddiqui is professional, well mannered, considerate and highly skilled."
"Keyota R. I loved you guys such a warm and pleasant feeling you welcomed me and treated me very well i wouldn't have it any other way... My injures are doing very well thank you for eveything"
"My name is Debra and last year I had a car accident that caused spinal injury. Dr. Siddiqui was the surgeon who performed the anterior cervical discectomy surgery. From the first time I met Dr. Siddiqui, I was very pleased. I have never had a doctor take the time with me as he did. He made sure he answered all my questions and described the whole process from pre-surgery through post-surgery.I have to commend him for being such a caring and gifted spinal surgeon. Besides the fantastic bed side manner, his skills for surgery are outstanding. My recovery was shorter than my friend who went to a well-known surgeon to perform the same surgery and I feel mine was more successful and since the surgery (four months ago), I feel like myself again with zero pain.Typically, brilliant surgeons have a god like personality, but not Dr. Siddique. He treated me as if I was family and had my best interest at heart. I feel very lucky to have had a kind, smart and patient doctor. I unequivocally recommend him to anyone who has any spinal issues."
