I would definitely recommend Dr. Refai and his staff !
Dr. Refai always explains my options and the benefits and risks of each option. I feel confident that he helps me reach an informed decision. He answers my questions and listens to my concerns. I am grateful and fortunate to be one of his patients.
Dr. Refai involved me in every decision providing me with all information required to make a rational decision.
The doctor has poor judgment and listening skills, doesn't know how to communicate with patients.
Dr. Rafai talks very fast so I'm intimidated to ask deep questions. His summations of the treatment and risk didn't line up with what was said the last time I talked to him. I left wondering if he just wants to knock out another surgery or if he's looking at all angles. I'll ask more questions at my next visit. I'm glad he wants to run more tests. It gives me a little more confidence. I said I would recommend him to others because I know he's very skilled at what he does. No doubt there.
He tried to help but was not the right doctor.
My Dr and PA explain my situation very well.
I went to Dr Refai for his opinion. I value his skills and vast knowledge
I had an outstanding experience with Dr Refai. He is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and forthright. I felt he was concerned about me not simply a surgery.
Dr. Refai was very knowledgeable and he explained everything thoroughly, I appreciate him for his honesty
Both doctors I saw as well as the PA were very thorough and knowledgeable. Although it was upsetting to here that my condition is permanent, with little options for relief, it was refreshing for a surgeon to admit that.
So far, excellent! Hopefully the surgery will go just as well!
The physician assistant was very helpful and informative. He listened to my concerns and directed my questions to Dr. Refai, who knew the next step I needed to take and went our of his way to make an appointment for me with a Neurologist. I don't know to many doctors that would go out of their way to help a patient like that. I'm just so very grateful that he did.
Dr. Refai was very professional, thorough, and caring.
The doctor scared me with statistics and information that didn't match up with the first opinion I received. I can't say if those statistics were correct for sure, but I got a 3rd opinion on the approach. The 3rd opinion disagreed with this doctor's approach and risks as well. I confirmed the approach with my own research showing that his facts didn't line up with internet searches either. I then spoke with 2 other doctors that both disagreed with the risks which were shared with me.
Dr. Refai presented his findings in language I was able to understand and made every effort to make sure all our questions were answered.
Including me and all the decision , great communication
Very confident and convincing about my condition as it came as a bit of a shock
He was thorough and very clear.
he nurse/PA who saw me first was great as well as the medical student who saw me right before Dr. Refai. Dt. Refai was wonderful as always.
Skilled practitioner who told it like it is. Appreciate that in a doctor.
This was a second opinion and Dr. Refai gave me a lot of good informal; it's obvious he cares and I really trust, him.
Dr. Daniel Refai & his staff are excellent.
Great and extremely knowledgeable Doctor, and staff.
Excellent spinal assessment and information from Dr. Refai. The information he gave to me was extremely helpful to my understanding the condition of my back.
Provider listen to my concerns about the fusion, decided angainst minimally invasive procedure and we agreed on middle ground. He took my concerns about third level issues seriously
The Doctor was apologetic, and explained without the MRI there was nothing he could do. I should have been contacted that the records did not arrive and I would have brought them with me.
Doctor was arrogant. The doctor didn't listen to my needs and/or concerns. He was too busy correcting terminology that other neurosurgeons had used previously and talking about another patient and the risks associated with her situation than listening to me.
Dr Refai is outstanding. Explained everything and was very personal. Takes owership of patient experience from front desk to med ass't to PA.
Superior experience with Dr. Refai!
Dr Refai and his assistant were very pleasant and personable. They were easy to talk to and all my questions were answered.
PA RUBY and Dr. Refai were very thorough and informative. Answered my questions with easy to understand explanations.
The PA was particularly thorough, professional and pleasant to be around. My tinnitus caused me to ask her to repeat herself a couple of times, but that was on ME! She was delightful!
Without question !!!! Recommendation 100%
We appreciated the doctor's clear and detailed assessment and recommendations regarding treatment options. He was informed and very helpful.
I highly recommend Dr. Refai to anyone seeking surgery.
Dr Refai is a great surgeon and spends all the time needed to review my post surgical progress.
I highly recommend Dr. Massaad. I am fully confident in her diagnosis and offered treatments . She is taking time listening to my concerns every time and fully reviewing my medical history before offering options for my treatment.
He was thorough. Explained in detail everything.
Provider seemed not know what I was there for. As If he had not thoroughly studied my concerns and information sent to him by other providers. Finally got on the right page and gave a thorough assessment of my problems.
Dr. Daniel Refai was amazing. Compassionate explained everything I would highly recommend him again.
Dr. Renfai went above and beyond, referring me on the spot to someone better suited to helping me. He was patient, thorough, and clearly cared about my wellbeing. It was also lovely to see the way he interacted with the Fellow he brought along, as well as the college student who was shadowing him. Dr. Refai comes highly recommended and it's easy to see why. 10/10, no notes!
New nurse practitioner since last visit but she was concerned about problems I was experiencing. Listened to what I had to say and wrote down issues for the doctor to see Very polite and courteous
I was so impressed by the PA that came in to talk to me before Dr. Daniel Refai came in.. I cannot say enough about Dr. Refai.. He was wonderful!

He verbally backed up an MRI reading from 2022 saying I have severe spinal stenosis but didn't state it in his notes.
Dr. Refai is the most excellent if not remarkable physician I have had the privilege to be treated by in my 71 yrs. Of life. His care, honesty, positivity, and personable nature, not to mention he's a brilliant surgeon, has helped me to walk, run, jump, etc. Like before I had the tumor,i.e. Living a normal life!
Dr. Refi has always displayed his concern for me
Very well educated doctor.
Was very straight forward on the pro's and con's. I appreciate that very much.
Dr Refai was unable to give me results of my MRIs on call. Said he would call me back when he looked at my X-rays. But he didn't call. His nurse called. I was very disappointed to not get to discuss my case with him after he saw the X-rays. I just don't know what to do now
We would like to commend Dr.Refai and his team for excellent care throughout his stay at Emory Hospital the most humble and caring team we have met

Unsure as Dr Refai does not know till he gets copy of actual MRI mailed to him. Very hard trip for nothing, wish I knew he will bring me back depending on what MRI says if he can help he will have me come back if not ,,,,,
