Dr. Kaptain and his team went above and beyond for my dad’s care. The administrative staff promptly reached out to our appointment, no busy machines or wait times. They responded to our questions quickly. They gave us clear instructions, and were very kind. Dr. Kaptain is exceptional and includes you in the care plan. Thank you again! And would recommend their services to anyone who needs Neuro support!

Dr. Kaptain was very thorough in explaining the details of my spine surgery. He and his team have seen me on the day of surgery. They all clearly explained their roles.
He is a caring, comforting and excellent surgeon.

Dr. Walkman is an expert surgeon. My mom had a clot deep and on the back of her brain. There were many risks involved and Dr. Walzman successfully removed it in one try! Blessed to have had him as the neurosurgeon.

At the follow-up visit he was kind and gentle with mom. Thank you Dr. Walzman.

I had an aneurysm and Dr. Ali + his team were assigned to do the brain surgery to put in a stent and a drain. For 21 days, I stayed under Dr. Ali and HMH's neurosurgery team care - I am alive today because of them.

Dr. Ali is a knowledgeable, professional, kind, compassionate, and also extremely funny person. So is his amazing team, especially Noah. They made the tough time at the hospital a lot easier.

Dr. Ali and his team are the kind of doctors you trust because they really have their patients' best interest first. I had full confidence in their knowledge and they were so patient answering all questions my family and I had. No matter how busy they were, they made time to walk us through the processes, what's happening next, how it's going to happen, and what to expect.

I'm extremely thankful for everything Dr. Ali and team did during and after my stay.

I went to Dr. M. Khan for a 2nd opinion after a failed fusion done by another surgeon from another practice. I was living in constant nerve and musculoskeletal pain that was worse than before the failed surgery. I met with Dr. Khan and he sat with me and explained what was wrong and what my options were. He made sure I understood everything he was explaining. I trusted Dr. Khan and put my life in his hands and he did the revision for me (fixed what the other doctor did wrong). I can’t thank him enough for helping me. I was very fortunate because not many doctors want to fix another doctors mistake. Thank you so much Dr. Khan. I owe you and your team the world. All of the staff were very helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
