Patient Experiences

“I had dealt with neck pain, limitations and migraines for years before visiting Northwest Neurosciences. Dr. Meirelles & his entire staff (reception, nurses, assistants, billing, radiology), all treated me with the highest level of care and continued follow up. My surgery results were impressive and extremely successful. So much so, I have referred several people to their care. They too have commented on the success and quality of care from Dr. Meirelles & staff.”

-Andrea P.
"My wife and I frequently recommend Northwest Surgery Center and Northwest Spine Center to friends, work associates, and anyone in need of your services. We are both very happy with the surgeries we each had and look forward to a healthy, pain-free retirement. The team here is top-notch."

"Dr. Meirelles performed a lumbar fusion for me 2.5 years ago. He was extremely thorough in both the procedure and aftercare. I really appreciated the efforts of him and his staff. I have highly recommended his practice to all my friends who were in similar situations. I would not hesitate to return if the need should ever arise."

-Steve M.
“Dr. Meirelles and his surgical team are top notch. They are extremely professional and give attention to every detail and treat you as if you are the only patient they have. I would highly recommend Dr. Meirelles and his staff!”

“I wanted to let Dr. Meirelles and the staff at Northwest Neurosciences how much I appreciate all the excellent care I have received. I am not treated like just a patient but a friend. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for my neurological care."

-Melody G.
"I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with the staff at the Northwest Spine Center and Northwest Surgery Center. From the front desk, to the nurses, all office staff and Dr. Meirelles. Each and every one of them was courteous, professional, and made my visits comfortable. They all truly care about the well-being of their patients and it is demonstrated in all interactions with ALL staff. I’ve struggled with back and nerve pain for over 20 years. After meeting with Dr. Meirelles and his staff to create a plan for living a pain free and active life for the next 40 years it has started to become reality. They are professional, meticulous and caring! I would recommend Dr. Meirelles and his staff to anyone in need of great patient care!"

-Dorothy G.
"I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Meirelles and his staff. They are the standard by which all healthcare should be delivered; understanding, compassionate and thorough. I have always been able to speak with Dr. Meirelles directly and get my problems resolved. Coming here is like dealing with trusted family. Would never consider going anywhere else."

-Jessica M
"I would like to thank everyone at Northwest Spine Center and Northwest Surgery Center for the fantastic job they did in treating my bad neck. I had been to Emergency Rooms and other surgery and pain clinics over a fifteen year period. Two people I know had seen Dr. Meirelles and said I should see him. I went to my visit with him and felt he was the most professional doctor I had ever seen. We laid out a plan of treatment based on several tests and was able to treat the pain initially with injections. After two injections we decided surgery was the best option. It has been a year since surgery and I am finely free of neck pain. All the people from office staff to nurses are great to work with."

-William B.
"There is nothing that needs improvement. The level of care from Dr. Meirelles and the entire staff made me feel like family and not a patient. Thank you ALL for everything!!"

-Martin W.
"This is the most well run medical facility in Yakima."

"I wish I had this surgery done a long time ago. This has been the best experience. I can't believe I could feel and move, as well as I do and all with no pain."

-Jeff G.
"All the surgery staff is kind and extremely helpful."
