Dr. Kaptain and his team went above and beyond for my dad’s care. The administrative staff promptly reached out to our appointment, no busy machines or wait times. They responded to our questions quickly. They gave us clear instructions, and were very kind. Dr. Kaptain is exceptional and includes you in the care plan. Thank you again! And would recommend their services to anyone who needs Neuro support!

Dr. Walkman 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.

I had an aneurysm and Dr. Ali + his team were assigned to do the brain surgery to put in a stent and a drain. For 21 days, I stayed under Dr. Ali and HMH's neurosurgery team care - I am alive today because of them. Dr. Ali is a knowledgeable, professional, kind, compassionate, and also extremely funny person. So is his amazing team, especially Noah. They made the tough time at the hospital a lot easier. Dr. Ali and his team are the kind of doctors you trust because they really have their patients' best interest first. I had full confidence in their knowledge and they were so patient answering all questions my family and I had. No matter how busy they were, they made time to walk us through the processes, what's happening next, how it's going to happen, and what to expect. I'm extremely thankful for everything Dr. Ali and team did during and after my stay.
