    Stellar on all counts. Explained extensive detailed information clearly and answered questions in the same fashion. Did not underplay procedures or recovery as pretty much all other surgeons do. Clearly cared about me, her brand-new patient, and gave me a lot of her time. Head and shoulders above the two other neurosurgeons I saw elsewhere, including at a top-tier hospital.
