Testimonials
Zarifa
“I found out that Dr. Alisher Azamov from the United States would come to Tashkent and provide in-person consultations from social media, Instagram, in September 2023. I took a chance and decided to consult with him regarding my mom, who received a severe spinal cord injury in a car accident three years ago and has been unable to walk since then. During the consultation, the doctors were very kind, polite, and attentive. They viewed our MRI results, asked a lot of questions, and tried to really understand my mom’s condition and offered us a treatment option that had never been recommended to us before by any physician, though we consulted with a lot of local neurosurgeons and neurologists during the last three years. They advised us epidural stimulation for spinal cord injury, the treatment that has the potential to help patients like my mom to gain the ability to walk again. Overall, we were very satisfied with the consultation. Shortly after the first consultation, we held an online meeting to discuss updates on my mom and further questions regarding the treatment. We are planning to undertake another online consultation during the next week. We are also considering a surgical operation to be performed by the above-mentioned doctors.”
Eldor A.
“In September 2023, regarding my mother’s illness, we held an online consultation for us together with neurosurgeons and ENT doctors from the USA.
We looked at our problem in detail. The doctors are very responsive and highly qualified specialists in their field. Doctors also participated in the consultation and simultaneously translated into Russian and Uzbek languages.
We were pleased with the consultation and will carry out further treatment.”

Dinora K.
“In October 2017, my mother experienced an exacerbation of a herniated cervical spine and required urgent surgery. Luckily for us, a team of neurosurgeons led by Dr. Paul Kim and Dr. Ali Azamov from San Diego, USA arrived on a visit to the Endocrinology Center in Uzbekistan.
In the shortest possible time, all the necessary examinations were carried out, followed by a surgical operation to remove the disc (a titanium implant was installed). The operation went without complications, rehabilitation was very fast and painless. We are very grateful to the entire team of doctors. To this day there have been no post-operative problems!”

“Two months ago, I went to the doctor because of leg pain and they prescribed me some medicine. In the process of taking medicine, I fell and broke my leg. But after I fell, I had another health problem: I started having numbness in my fingertips and lower abdomen.
After having an MRI of the neck area, I decided to seek advice from American doctors regarding this problem.
They carefully examined my MRI images and gave all the necessary advice. To be honest, it’s great to be able to get advice from US doctors without leaving home. I am grateful to them and wish them success in their work.”
