Dr. Karimi saved my life. He is a wonderful and caring doctor. I was lucky that when I went into the hospital that he just happened to be on call that day. I hit the jackpot when I got him to do my surgery. I have been under his care for almost two years and know he will always do right by me. He is #1 in my book.

Dr. Reza Karimi is God’s Healer, “Mr. Wonderful”. Words can’t describe my compassion and loyalty. His neuro-surgeon expertise, professionalism, and knowledge are beyond incredible. I was so scared during my stays (2 surgeries) at the Hackensack Hospital with blood clots in my brain. He is humble, easy to talk to, and took the time to answer all my questions. Dr. Karimi and staff members visited me in person all the time while I was in my hospital room. Dr. Karimi, you are an amazing soul; so caring, I truly can’t thank you enough for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness. Brings me tears of joy! I’m deeply grateful. Your assistants Elsie and Patty are amazing. Give them a nice holiday bonus! LOL 😊
