Dr. Theodore has my complete trust--a premiere board-certified neurosurgeon and head of department, who performed my cervical decompression surgery [ ] months ago. I requested to see him for a different issue. He takes the time to fully investigate, evaluate the issue enabled by imaging and experience. He explained his findings and care plan thoroughly.

Dr. Theodore gave me confidence and hope in that he ordered tests that had never been done in the two and a half years since my surgery. He appreciated that I had been through a lot of stress and medical procedures during that time trying without success to figure out why I have constant headaches and falling episodes. I am grateful to him for listening to me and considering new options.
