The office staff is friendly and helpful. The doctor is very knowledgeable and explained my problem, situation, and offered multiple remedies. He was not fast to perform surgery. He is the best. No other words need be said

After waiting four months for an appointment and speaking with the office staff numerous times, to ensure i had all appropriate and updated files and paperwork, they tell me i needed an updated MRI to present to them and to come back after that is done. They had four months to let me know that i needed an updated MRI, prior to my appointment. And I had to Pay $$ for him to tell me what i already knew and now he wants me to pay $$ again to come back, when he should have been able to review everything at the initial appointment. Now, another waste of time and effort, for a recommendation that can easily be provided by another Neuro Office, as i will never go there again, or recommend to any one that I know.

I went to see him for an IME. At that time he told me that my severe back injury was caused by my having 1 cig. a day and 1 Smirnoff Original Ice per day. He said plenty of exercise and I would be better. I am scheduled for L1 - S1 surgery with Fusion. No one has ever said that and the injury is 25 years old with some hope I can get relief From another surgeon.

A neurosurgeon who does not like taking care of patients or or helping people. Does not like taking "call" in ER so patients are transferred out to another facility. As a certified Stroke Center, Wuesthoff Med Center in Rockledge, Florida.....how can they be stroke certified without a neurosurgeon on call. Hosp lets him get away with "no call".

Once he went through the options and I said I wanted to leave surgery as a last resort, he was pretty much done with me. I asked about some alternative treatments (shrinking the disk vs removal and fusion) and he dismissed them.

Very quick to recommend surgery and not even consider any other treatment. Loses interest quickly in answering your questions if you seem the least bit not interesting in gettting cut open. Not recommended.
