Dr. Scrantz and his staff were very professional and accommodating. My questions were answered clearly and understandably for a non-medical lay person. My procedure went very well and the follow up visit was a great experience as well. It was definitely worth the drive to Baton Rouge for his service and skill set

I met Dr. Scrantz as a terrified 18 year old having a massive stroke. I literally woke up to him inches from my face during my first evaluation upon arriving at the hospital Memphis TN. He was 1 of 3 neurologists assigned to me. He was my only Dr. who was prepared to really dig into why I was having the problem I was. Thanks to him I was correctly diagnosed with 2 blood disorders and an autoimmune disorder which allowed me to avoid many future issues with my health. I quite literally owe my life to Dr. Scrantz!! Excellent bedside manner, highly intelligent and actually cares about his patients!!!

I was on medication for pinched nerve in my neck, which was no longer effective. Dr. Scrantz did a neck fusion, which completely solved that problem. Once off the medication, we found out it was also treating issues with my lower back. Dr. Scrantz tried everything he could to avoid surgery, but after waiting the appropriate amount of time, and making no promises, he did surgery again. I am excited to say that too worked. Evidently, the culprit was bone spurs!

I love Dr. Scrantz, he is amazing!! He was always so nice and easy to talk to, he explained everything so that I understood exactly what he was talking about. He always asked if I had any questions and took the time to answer them honestly. I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends.

Brain tumor which was like sticking your hand in a pile of snakes. Poor prognosis and high risk. High profile case with lots watching and Dr. Scrantz went in, scalpel flying, and got 99% out. Courageous and skilled. Needs a sixth star!
