A true professional doctor and great team.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-07-10

Very professional atmosphere! Customer service was great! Wait time is a little long, but overall experience was top tier.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-06-14

Dr. Daftari and his team are always professional, caring, and knowledgeable. He has been treating me for extreme lower back pain, muscle spasms and multiple fractures. I could barely walk when he first examined me over a year ago! I’m very thankful to him and his team for providing me with the best of care. I don’t think that I would be walking independently if it were not for him. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor!

Overall Rating: 3.0 2025-06-09

He is generally pleasant. His examination and consultation feel very rushed. I have been seen by him multiple times.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-06-04

Great doctor. Dr. Daftari makes you feel like he truly cares about you. He explained all options and details. He sanitized his hands before and after exam. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of Orthopedic services.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2022-06-20

Over the years have had many car accidents over the years which affected my back/spine with increasing pain till this year needed help. Im previous patient of Resurgens Orthopedic and Dr Edward Holliger who performed a very successful hand operation. So connected with Resurgence again to resolve spine issues in  the L5S1 which is a tough area and very lucky i found Dr Tapan Daftari who is my Rock Star doctor and a great person.  He is a talented focused person with 27+ years experienced spine surgeon with weekly operations.  My Rock Star accolade is that he worked with industry to make surgery related tools was able to make tools as well the metal plates in my spine and im on the road to a normal life. Do know that he also created similar metal plates for Cervical patients.  Back surgery and recovery is painful but know its worth it to live pain free. If i had to do it over again would pick Dr Daftari again but would have done it sooner and not lived with pain. 

Also Dr Daftari has a great staff including; Dr Ken Holbrook a great person and assisting Doctor to understand the healing process. Any question or issues was resolved quickly often by the same day with my main contact to address them.  All other Dr team members are very focussed on providing quality care and helping me. 

Hopefully this will help others.
