Dr. Gittens performed the same surgery on my hiernated disk three times, without success. I was disappointed with my results, and finally found another neurosurgeon who gave me my life back.

Re: Helpfulness: I am awaiting surgery. I would appreciate being kept informed of a waiting period be it 1 month or 2 years. The patient really has to put their life on hold while they await a date. This is a reflection of our present health system and not a reflection of the doctor's/surgeon's capabilities.

I found his bedside manner to be curt and dismissive. Was not comfortable in "talking" to him, so found another neurosurgeon who was willing to explain things without being dismissive and short with us.

Quite simply the best there is. He is always on time, has a fabulous bedside manner, and treats his patients with the utmost respect! Furthermore, he has an excellent sense of humour, endless compassion, and he's brilliant.
