I recently had ACDF surgery, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the initial consultation to the post surgery follow-ups, the care I received was top-notch. Dr. Mohamed was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, the risks, and the expected outcomes. This made me feel confident and reassured going into surgery. He kept checking on me even after I left the hospital and until my follow up visits. I highly recommend him.

This place was awesome. So glad a friend recommended you. From checking in to checking out I couldn't be more pleased or impressed. And best of all I was only there less than a hour, that includes X-rays and seeing the Dr.! And I loved the Dr.,. explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. I'll be back in 6 weeks!

I am an existing patient of doctor Salar from Lansing MI. Dr Salar did an ACDF surgery December of 2024 and has since partnered with the Synergy group. I can tell you that doctor Salar made me feel like I was one of his own family members, and for that, I followed him to this new practice. Yesterday was my first follow up with him in Livonia MI, and the experience was good. Nice check in staff, nice radiology staff and very personable medical assistant. Dr Salar spent a lot of time reviewing my images and history of my case. I am glad that I decided to stick with him on his new journey and will continue to for any spinal procedures in the future. It is rare in today's healthcare system to find a doctor who gives such personal interest in my care.

Dr Salar has been awesome with my Mom. She's 89 years old and he puts her at ease, addresses her concerns, and had us seen by a pain doctor while we were still in the office. Couldn't ask for a better outcome
