My wife was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. One side effect was a build-up of fluid in her brain. Dr Kaptain inserted a shunt in her skull that helped drain the fluid and get her back to "normalcy." Prior to the procedure he explained the pros/cons of the operation and what to expect. His analysis was right on and his performance was exemplary. The follow-up visit was informative and helpful. Dr. Kaptain's "bedside manner" is first rate. My family and I highly recommend him.

I found Dr. Kaptain thru Aetna doc find. Did google & healthgrade review. The consultation coordinator was very professional & pleasant. She followed up on getting every ready for the appointment. Directions was to get there early bc getting to office is hard with parking & making sure you're at the right place. Directions on Google was off. Waited about an hour from appointment time before Dr. Kaptain came in. He was very pleasant. Open to speaking freely with questions, explanations were clear & repeat questions were accepted without hesitation. Very confident & professional with my case. We conference my daughter & he was happy to listen. We got disconnected & he offered his cell number if she had further questions. The Office staff is friendly and the assistant was very thorough in taking down information for the record. I forget a health issue I had and she questioned about a medication that I was taking for it. Because he's out of network for me, he was nice to offer to evaluate my next mri at no charge. I also mentioned that I would be seeking a 2nd opinion & he had no objection & recommends it.

I am so grateful to Dr. George Captain and their entire team for the outstanding care I received during my surgery. Dr. Kaptain is not only an incredible surgeon, but also a caring physician who truly listens to their patients. His clinical skill and thoroughness are top tier. Prior to my surgery he walked me through the entire plan and set realistic expectations for recovery. Dr. Kaptain has exceptional bedside manners; he is attentive and deeply compassionate.The office staff and surgical team were equally impressive. I can't thank Dr. Kaptian enough for everything that he did for me. Dr. Kaptain had incredible way of easing my anxiety and making me feel very comfortable throughout the whole time. I highly recommend Dr. George Kaptain for anyone in need of specialized neurosurgical care !!

Lives up to his fine educational background and philosophy of avoiding surgery when possible. Excellent diagnostician, with understandable explanations, conservative advice offered in a compassionate manner. Welcomes questions and gives patient flexible answers. I feel safe and comfortable in his care.
