Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Simply the best
Dr Walzman repaired my dissected carotid artery in Dec of 2019. His care and expertise allowed me to survive a catastrophic event and continue to live my life as I did before the incident. Without him I am either severely disabled, paralyzed or taking a dirt nap-forever. If you doubt who should be your caregiver just Google his name and review his qualifications. They are impeccable.

Excellent Neurosurgeon
Dr. Waltzman performed life saving emergency surgery on my mother who had a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2017. She spent a few weeks in the ICU and then a few weeks in rehab. She came out fully functioning. She has since been seeing him for follow ups. He performed a second surgery when he discovered an unruptured aneurysm. It is visible he is excellent in his craft and extremely knowledgeable. He implanted a coil he thought would be best for my mother (with her consent), but was still pending FDA approval. Lo and behold it received FDA approval since. He takes his time and patiently listens to my mother’s every concern. He also thoroughly reviews test results and her medications list. My mother and I have full faith in him. We are very grateful to him for his work.

I have been under Dr. Walzman’s care for over 1 year due to brain aneurysms. He is a skilled neurosurgeon who explains things in lay-man’s terms. He has performed multiple procedures on me including stenting, coiling & angiograms. I would trust my brain to no one else but him. He is simply the best!

Dr. Walzam sent my sister back to our family/lives after she'd had a SAH, which could be highly fatal. I stayed with her through the ER visit, surgery, and subsequent follow-ups. and Dr. Walzman was absolutely wonderful. He was very thorough, friendly, and patient. He took his time to answer all our questions making us feel very comfortable and assured at the same time. Great doctor!!

Dr. Walzman is a life saver! I have unconditional and complete confidence in his medical expertise and surgical abilities. He performed 3 surgeries on me: aneurysm clipping 2011; pipeline embolizations 2017-1 - each, a success! Dr. W. is a brilliant, no-nonsense surgeon who provides his patients with the best treatment possible. He has always made me feel comfortable and confident, even in light of unfortunate test results. I would not entrust my brain tissue in anyone else's hands but his :-)
