Farid Hamzei-Sichani, MD, PhD

I had a tumor removed December 2, 2025. He did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend him!

I would highly recommend Dr Sichani and his team at UMassmemorial. Dr Sichani was kind and respectful of my initial skepticism for needing back surgery. After much testing and 2nd opinion I came back to Dr Sichani and agreed surgery was something I needed. The surgery went very smoothly, I am currently recuperating and greatly relieved the surgery is over and I’m looking forward to getting back to my normal activities.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Farid Hamzei-Sichani, to anyone regarding spinal surgery. After being in crippling pain for a year and brushed over orthopedics and physiology, I finally ended up in the ER due to loss of sensation in my left leg and foot. I required an emergency discectomy and laminectomy. Dr. Farid Hamzei-Sichani walked me through the MRI results, what the procedure would entail and reassured me every second along the way. He was kind, respectful and a pleasure to have as a surgeon.

Dr. Hamzei-Sichani was a pleasure to see. He was kind and witty and took plenty of time to address my needs and questions. He explained things to me beautifully and I never felt rushed. His approach to my problem was conservative and wanted to do a few more tests before jumping into surgery.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr.Sichani and his NP. He has always answered all my questions. He was very straightforward with my mom and I. Had my surgery and feeling better.
