Dr.G might be late to see you, but its only because he is extremely thorough and will answer each and every question you have about the brain surgery your about to have. He is worth the wait. So be patient.

Dr. Ghatan is very empathetic and great with little children.
He explained everything to me and calmed me down as I was very concerned about my sons head. If we ever actually need a neurosurgeon, we will be more than happy to see him again.
