George J. Kaptain
MD, FAANS

Dr. Kaptain takes his time to explain and answer all questions. He has a caring and compassionate manner. Grateful to have him on my team of doctors.

Years ago, I had a t12 compression fracture on my upper back and was successfully treated by Doctor Kaptain. This January I had a terrible lower back pain which was a t12 compression fracture and of course I contacted the best doctor there is. He performed the same surgery and immediately I was pain free. If ever this happens again, Doctor Kaptain will be contacted. I recommend him 100 percent

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.

Dr. Kaptain is an amazing neurosurgeon. He spends time with you to thoroughly go over all your questions and concerns, no rushing thru appts. After my surgery he personally followed up and has always been available when needed. I received excellent care and the office staff is wonderful.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Kaptain and his team. He performed a complex brain surgery on me that quite literally saved my life. His skill, precision, and expertise are second to none, but what truly sets him apart is his compassion and bedside manner. From the very first consultation, he took the time to explain everything in detail, answer all my questions, and reassure me through one of the most difficult times of my life.

Very personable and professional giving me my 7 year old positive results about my brain surgery which he participated in with Doctor Lee. Thank you!! 😊

Very thorough reviewing the scans and MRI’s and caring. He explains everything and he doesn’t rush.

Very kind. Great bedside manner. Explained everything in detail. Felt very comfortable with him. Highly recommend.

Great place. Helped my symptoms ASAP! Dr. Kaptain...a wonderful, understanding person.

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.
