George J. Kaptain
MD, FAANS

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Kaptain. In our household, we affectionately call him “The Captain”—and for good reason. He is not only an exceptionally skilled neurosurgeon but also a genuinely kind, intelligent, and compassionate human being. His precision, expertise, and “light touch” (a critical trait for brain surgery!) are matched by his unwavering commitment to patient care.

Dr. Kaptain goes above and beyond, taking the time to thoroughly explain every step of the surgical process with complete transparency. He met with us multiple times before my surgery, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring we felt informed and reassured. His dedication and high standard of excellence are truly inspiring.

In fact, his work ethic and character have left such a profound impact on me that I’m already encouraging my 5-year-old to become a neurosurgeon—one with the same integrity, skill, and compassion as Dr. Kaptain.

I recently had brain surgery performed by Dr. Kaptain and was extremely impressed by his care and compassion. He took the time to explain everything in detail and to ensure that we were comfortable. When it was time to follow up with radiation, he personally made sure that it occured as soon as possible. I felt like I was being treated by a family member. I recently had another encounter with Dr Kaptain when I was in the hospital with a tumor in my neck, and once again his care and compassion shone through. I highly recommend Dr. Kaptain.

Very Friendly And Amazing Staff ! Thanks So Much Doctor Kaptain!

They go above and beyond to help you out, Explain stuff to you and they do their job perfectly

He is beyond wonderful! One of the most compassionate and caring doctors I have ever met. He did a wonderful job on the surgery and we trust him at 100%. Everyone in Hackensack and other Dr and Nurses in other hospitals, also know he has an amazing reputation. I wish there were more Drs like him. After removing a brain tumor, my mom went back to herself in no time. Minimal post op discomfort and no major side effect. Can’t Thank this amazing man and Dr enough!

We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Kaptain. He performed a successful brain surgery on my dad last week, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Not only was the procedure a success, but all of my dad’s pain has completely disappeared. Dr. Kaptain’s expertise, professionalism, and compassionate care made all the difference. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional medical care.

Went to see Dr Kaptain about about my pituitary. After seeing him and how he explained everything was very gratifying and made my wife and myself feel so at ease. Would recommend him highly.

Dr George Kaptain is a stellar neurosurgeon! He is a shining star. He consistently displays exceptional qualities and he is outstanding in his field. He possesses a high level of medical knowledge and skill, but also is compassionate with empathy and is admired by everyone. I had a meningioma in my frontal lobe. He waited for years to do the surgery until he felt it was time.Dr Kaptain was amazing. and the surgery went well With his impeccable skills and a heart like no other. He gave me and my Family his cell phone in case we had any questions or concerns about the surgery and proceeded to do the same after the surgery. Yes this was a wonderful experience and it could have been totally different. Dr Kaptain is a remarkable surgeon as well as a remarkable man! I highly recommend him!
