    Dr.Munshi saved me from agonizing back and leg pains. This had been going on for over a year. He is the most pleasant, and down to earth person. I recommend him to anyone that is having back, sciatic pain to see him . Thank you for wonderful surgery outcome. I am pain free.

    Nothing but good words to say about Dr Munshi. I was diagnosed with a large cyst on the brain and Dr Munshi answered the call for the procedure of VP shunt in April of last year. Had to have shunt replacement surgery in December of last year which Dr Munshi also performed. He and his staff were there answering my questions and concerns. My wife and I are so thankful for the care and consideration this man and his staff have given us. I have no more headaches or seizures and am able to live a normal life. Thank you Dr Munshi and Alex for your patience with me and my wife. Highly recommend you to anyone with any type of neurological issues

    It's hard to explain how different my life is after a laminectomy, performed by Dr. Munshi. I'm a carpenter. I'm healthy and fit, so when I started having pain when I walked, it scared me. It quickly progressed into having severe pain while walking oreven standing for a few minutes. I went to five different back/spine surgeons who did nothing to help. I looked up neurosurgeons in Lafayette, and found Dr. Munshi. To sum it up, I'm back at work, working hard...happy. I even run, because I can. If I wouldn't have had the surgery, I guess I would have had to go on disability. I highly recommend Dr. Munshi, he changed my life.

    After years of excruciating back pain, I finally found the right surgeon. Dr. Munshi listened to me and was interested in helping me. I showed up to my first appointment with my older MRI. Before the end of that first visit, he scheduled a new MRI and surgery. Immediately following surgery, I was relieved of my back pain. It was the first time in years that I had no pain. Dr. Munshi is an excellent surgeon, a compassionate, and caring man who truly did give me back my quality of life. His entire staff is professional and friendly. I definitely will recommend him to all my family and friends.

    Dr. Munshi is great! Fixed my back pain with surgery, but we tired several options prior. He listens and is understanding. He explains everything very well and I highly recommend him to anyone with back issues
