Dr. Daniel Walzman 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.

Dr. Kaptain was professional and patient in explaining all details of diagnostic procedures and recommendations for further care. And he magnanimously offered to review my wife’s condition, who was not the patient, but had accompanied me to the appointment. I later learned he had performed complicated, brain surgery on my brother-in-law successfully!

Had the most amazing experience and the absolute best outcome from a situation that was extremely scary and nerve racking. Dr. Kaptain (neurosurgeon) out of Hackensack Medical Center. I was diagnosed with a T-1 Meningioma. After a very informative visit, we had a plan. We immediately walked over to the ENT Specialist Dr. Lee (same center) and agreed on the plan of action. Every step he was there for me and my husband. Even before surgery, during surgery, during recovery and after discharge he was 100% accessible. I have never experienced such compassion for not only my health and well-being but for my family as well. Im forever grateful and consider myself Blessed. Thank you Dr. George Kaptain.

I am currently being treated by Dr K. Lee. He is a very professional doctor who listens to all of your concerns. He makes me feel comfortable asking questions and giving his best opinion which I value. He has not pushed me into having surgery however he has offered several other methods that we trying. I highly recommend Dr. Lee. One of the most TRUSTED doctors I've consulted with.
