George J. Kaptain
MD, FAANS

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

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

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.

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.

Dr.Kaptain is the absolute best, so kind and so knowledgeable and answers all your questions in a clear understandable way. He performed a back surgery on my Girlfriend and he did an amazing job if he is your surgeon you should take a deep sigh of relief you’re going to be an amazing hands. His whole team is wonderful and caring and very skilled I Couldn’t recommend a doctor more! Thank you doctor Kaptain

Dr. Kaptain was extremely professional and welcoming. He made us feel comfortable during the follow up for my MRI and we are grateful for his practice. Thank you to him and his wonderful staff.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Kaptain and his exceptional level of care, expertise, and professionalism. From my very first consultation Dr. Kaptain demonstrated an extraordinary depth of knowledge and a genuine commitment to patient care.

What stands out most is his ability to explain complex neurological issues in a way that was both understandable and reassuring. My husband and I felt informed, heard, and respected throughout the entire process. Dr. Kaptain takes the time to review all imaging thoroughly, discuss options with clarity, and answer every question I had with patience and honesty.

If you’re looking for a neurosurgeon who is compassionate and communicative, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kaptain.

Very good doctor, great listener. He listens to the patient and has a dialogue, a two-way conversation.

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

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!
