“Dr Soumehk did craniotomy on my mom who had meningioma. He was very caring, explained to us the procedure, and why she needed angiogram at least 24 hrs in advance. Although he did not talk a lot, he really cared for my mom. The surgery went very well. She was discharged from a hospital 4 days after surgery. We are very blessed to have him as a neurosurgeon.” – An Le
“The best neurosurgeon in all of San Diego! If you are looking for a straight shooter and who will give you details about what his processes and his expectations of you. If you are looking for someone who will make sure that what is best for you takes place before during and after the surgery. Then this is the perfect surgeon for you. As Dr. Soumekh may not have the greatest of bedside manner, He Cares About HIS patients! My surgery was an abdominal lumbar fusion. Best decision I ever made to travel from Las Vegas to San Diego for the best care possible!!!” – Kezia Goodwin
