Mustasim Rumi

I thought my life would be changed forever when I had a herniated disc in the worst possible way. Going from completing a half marathon and different races, I could not walk from my living room to my kitchen without extreme pain. I was referred to Dr. Rumi after a couple of injections with Dr. Ostadian. It was clear the pain would not be going away. Dr. Rumi explained everything to me before surgery and the nurses were precise as well when I went in. I was so nervous going into surgery I was crying. I was afraid the pain would still be there when I woke up. I woke up and the first week I felt minor tingling and numbness– it was extremely hard for me to get in and out of bed– I had to use a walker for support. But after about a month, I tell you I was feeling 90 percent better and now 8 months post surgery I am fully recovered, also pregnant, and having literally no back pain in this pregnancy. I feel like a new person. I’m still able to do 8 miles on the elliptical each week in my 3^rd trimester. I don’t know what happened to the other reviewer A.R., but in my case, I am happily healed and would without any doubt refer Dr. Rumi. His bed side manner was very professional and his assistants were excellent as well. He is a very military type of style with routines, like washing his hands before and after meeting you, making sure you understand after he explains what he is saying, and is very honest. I think that is a good thing when you are depending on this person to do surgery on your back, next to your spine. He will tell you the success rate for you and if surgery should be considered or not. I don’t know if mine was successful because it was caught in the first year and treated and the other reviewer A.R. said he/​she had years of pain that it wasn’t successful? I had a micro disectomy on my L4-​L5 disc. Dr. Rumi also explained my chances of treating the surgery and if I waited longer than a year my changes of a successful surgery was only at 60 percent. I hope this review helps. I am so happy to have my active life back.

Dr. Rumi was very professional and easy to work with; I was referred to him by a friend who he operated on and who had really good surgery; I was nervous but his great bedside manner really helped and his staff were always responsive to my calls;
My surgery day was also easy, the staff at the hospital he operates at were very good, in fact, I overheard one of the nurses telling a patient that she thought he was one of their best surgeons;
Now I am pain free thats to him!

Dr. Mustasim Rumi and everyone at Orthopaedic Associates in Round Rock was wonderful and caring. From the first time they answer the phone through the time you walk out the door, everyone is pleasant and professional. I even got the follow up phone call they said they would make to me. Not only did Dr. Rumi diagnose my problem correctly, he referred me to someone else who could better help me so I could avoid surgery. Can’t say enough good things about this group!
