Testimonials

Pat Nelson

"I stopped going here because I didn't feel appreciated as a person.... I'm disabled I needed things accommodated. But I felt in the way. And not worthy.... I had surgery injections there other procedures. I was really shocked at how I was treated with my condition I just stopped going. No one even followed up with a phone call."

Stefanie Christides

"I most highly recommend Dr. Murtaza. I have been a long time patient of his, he is an excellent physician and every time I've had to have a procedure done I have gotten good results. He is both kind and understanding. More over he is generous and you know he is not out for the money. I know that because one of my procedure was considered experimental and he absorbed it with out charging me. He was always up front about the cost of things, he knew I was going through financial difficulties and thus is were empathy comes in. He always provides more than one option for treatment."

Cynthia Schacher

"I have been a pain patient of Dr. Murtaza's for about 20 years now. I am very experience pain patient, I have had serval pain doctors before I refer to him. I have never met a doctor who is more creative in his thinking, I was so happy to find him. He always has a plan A,B, C and D no matter how challenging the diagnosis might be. He is amazing with patients he has great people skills and a great bed side manner. I am very grateful to have him as mum doctor. I always thank him for being there , he makes a huge difference in my wellbeing."

Bradley Kaplan

"Dr. Murtaza is hands down amazing. I had been having trouble with some tingling in my shoulder blade and upper back for a few months and decided I should see someone. Not only was his staff welcoming and friendly, Dr. Murtaza reviewed my medical history, explained everything in detail and spent extra time answering all of my questions. After 1 simple trigger point injection, my tingling is gone! I am so happy and I would absolutely recommend him and his pain practice!"

IRENE HOCH

"Second time I went to see Dr. Murtaza but for a different issue. I have had this problem since March. I had constant pain and lethargy. Pain pills and muscle relaxers were not helping. One painful part of my body was affecting my whole body and mind. Of course I know its all connected. But I just want to say I am very impressed and amazed at the quick results after being treated by Dr. Murtaza. I highly recommend him. Pain and swelling gone and I feel well and energetic again. Can do my activities of daily living and have a good sense of well being. Thank you again Dr. Murtaza"

Robin Zimmerman

"Extremely disappointed. All he is interested in is making money. If you aren't feeling well from his injections and call for further help he never bothers to call you back. My husband called every day for an an entire week, sent three emails, and I even called. After two pain injections, he didn't even give the common curtesy of having his P.A. call to see how she could help further. I never heard of a doctor too busy to care about helping his patients. Do Not go to this doctor unless you want to be deserted when he doesn't have success. Despicable behavior."

Brooke Furniss

"Dr. Sajjad Murtaza has been my doctor for around 5 years and has been such a blessing in my life! I would fly across the Nation if I had to see him! When I first met him, I could barely walk, I was in immense pain, and another Neuro Dr. had me on some questionable meds that had endangered my well being. Dr. Murtaza was able to right the ship and get be back to acceptable level of health. Without him, I would not being able to function everyday without pain. He treats you as a human. He listens and wants to get to the root of the problem, rather than throwing medication at patient. He thinks outside the box and utilize all the tools out there to help his patients. He doesn't treat you like a number or money assembly line. He cares and takes the time. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone seeking assistance for pain management or anyone needing answers when no on else seems to be able to find any. Thank you, Dr. Murtaza!"

"Super shady and only after the money. Even with you being a patient who is undergoing treatment they make you come in to pick up an MRI request and charge your insurance for a visit. They explain this with that is what is required under your plan - as verified by my insurance provider that statement was bullshit. Then they recommend surgery under Xray while the whole medical world recommends this to be done as ultrasound guided for the health of the patient. Also, the recommended surgery was only to break up the calcific deposits with a needle while NorthWestern performed the same and also removed the deposit in one step. This would have been another procedure with Dr Murtaza. He is really just after his wallet and not into the best of his patients."
