Delashaw is a criminal. When he was at UC Irvine he proclaimed to be doing all of these neurological surgeries,, but in reality, his students were performing them wit Delashaw no where in sight. There weren’t enough staff to take care of all of these post surgical patients. I was one of those patients, I stopped breathing in recovery and woke up to brain damage. All the while, Delashaw pretended to not know what was wrong. Seven years later, I’m still trying to figure out how to live with my deficits. Delashaw was smitten with all of the press he was getting at Irvine and lost his way.

You're a horrible surgeon. You almost killed me twice. And let a massive infection take half my skull. I live in agony now. And you refused to remove the screw that came loose from your crap synthetic skull plate only 3 years after finally getting it put in.
Everything they said in your court case was true. You abused the fact that i had great insurance when I was 19 years old.

He reminded me a great deal of my first neurosurgeon. I have nothing but respect for his skills as a neurosurgeon.

He did brain surgery on my 16 year old daughter in 1996. The first doc said she would be dead in two weeks unless the tumor was removed, and he only knew of one dr who could do it. Dr Delashaw explained everything to us, and told us that type of tumor will recur. After a second surgery two years later, he was sure he got most of it. He saved her life. She had regular MRI s and even went to California to see him again for her last one. He said it should never come back. In 1996, very few surgeons operated on the center of the brain. He was awesome, yet very humble.

Dr Delashaw performed surgery on my neck in 2004. He did a fusion and laminectomy C5-C7 posterior. I woke up in the worst pain I have felt in my life. They kept me drugged for 8 days in hospital. Sent me home. I continued to have a pain rated at a 8 or higher. Found staples 3 weeks later on the side of my head. His office argued I didn't have staples in my head. My daughter took me there. Sure enough his PA removed the staples never numbing the area since skin had started growing over them. Of course there wasnt a record of them ever stapling my head for that matter removing the staples.

Delashaw gave me a lot of misinformation and happy talk. Horrible outcome to my surgery and he has no answers other than prescriptions to mask pain. Key word: malpractice.
