“An amazing and extremely talented Neurosurgeon with a heart of gold. Her office is very busy but she takes all the time needed with each patient and never rushes anyone. Very conservative measures and will never pressure any patient for surgery without first trying pain management and therapy. I know too many people who were thrown into the surgery room right away with bad outcomes. I trust her with my life and have family that now see her too”
