“My visit with Patrick Senatus was one of the most pleasant doctors experiences I've ever had (even though the news about my condition was less than pleasant). He is knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. His office staff deserves special mention. I don't think I've ever dealt with an office manage who was so responsive and kind. ”

“He’s amazing, patient and kind — as is his staff. He spent the entire hour of our consult going through every single detail and answering any question i had without making me feel like it was a dumb question to ask. He truly cares.”

I cannot give Dr. Senatus any higher praise than he already receives. He is a phenomenal neurosurgeon. I will forever be grateful to him for what he has done--before during and post surgery--no other doctor can compare.

Full disclosure, I went to Dr. Senatus for a second opinion with regards to an issue with my lower back. I was very comfortable with him in the office and appreciated the time he spent with me discussing my illness and my options. I was so impressed I plan on using him in the future for my continuing treatment so potentially more to follow.
April 13, 2015Douglas G.Verified patient
I would've liked a more comprehensive exam. I travel from nj and was seen for less than 30 minutes to be told my imaging was needed ed so nothing could be done. Meanwhile, I am in extreme discomfort which is why I went to the dr in the first place
