I cannot recommend Dr. Walavan Sivakumar and his incredible team highly enough. As a Registered…read moreNurse myself, I have very high standards for clinical excellence and patient care, and Dr. Sivakumar exceeded every one of them. On March 19, 2026, I underwent a minimally invasive retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove my meningioma. From our very first consultation, Dr. Sivakumar's expertise and calm, confident demeanor gave me the peace of mind I needed to face such a significant procedure. He took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I felt empowered and informed as a patient. The surgery was a success, and the post-operative care has been exceptional. Dr. Sivakumar is not only a brilliant neurosurgeon but also a compassionate healer who truly listens to his patients. He and his staff navigated my recovery with precision and genuine care. If you are looking for a surgeon who combines world-class technical skill with a heart for his patients, look no further. I am so grateful to have had him as my surgeon during this journey. God is great, and I am well on my way to a full recovery thanks to his gifted hands!

My sister Barbara was 50 years old when Dr. Sivakumar, one of the doctors who performed her back…read moresurgery, operated on her in December 2021. She developed an infection in her spine. Barbara also had Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease her doctors knew about, meaning her immune system could not fight infection like a healthy person's. She was HIGH risk. Yet two days after surgery, with an active spinal infection, she was discharged home with IV antibiotics and no medical staff to monitor her. In the hospital, nurses would have checked her leg strength and nerve function every few hours. At home, no one was watching. The infection grew and began crushing her spinal cord. She lost the ability to walk. Then she lost bowel control. These are textbook signs of a surgical emergency. Patients have only HOURS to get decompression surgery before nerve damage becomes permanent. By the next morning, my sister was paralyzed. Even then, she could have been saved from the worst of it, but she waited at St. Francis for nearly two weeks because no bed was available at the hospital that performed her surgery. Nobody treated her like the emergency she was. The window to save her nerves closed while she lay waiting. The paralysis became permanent. Pressure sores opened holes in her body at the facilities that followed. The infection they claimed the antibiotics would control spread into her blood. Sepsis. Her organs failed, her heart stopped, and on July 11, 2022, Barbara died. Her two babies, ages 5 and 3, lost their mother. I became their mom that day, and I watch them grow up without her. In my opinion, none of this had to happen. A two-day discharge with an active spinal infection in an immunocompromised patient was reckless. Every step after it was too slow. My sister didn't die from a back problem. She died from a system that stopped watching her. If you are considering surgery here, ask what happens if infection develops. Ask who monitors you and how often. Ask what the plan is if something goes wrong at 2am. Get answers in writing. Barbara trusted them. I will carry what that trust cost her for the rest of my life. It has taken me three years to be able to write this.

Dr. Galina Nikolskaya helped our 7 year old son and he made great progress under her effective…read morecare. We asked her for help when things were pretty bad at home and school: teachers constantly complained and gave him time outs for bad behavior, we were upset and made our rules strict, reprimanded him, used lots of limitations and talks...but the situation was only getting worse. He was aggressive, didn't care about the limitations and acted out a lot. We felt desperate. Dr. Nikolskaya took her time to learn about our family, the child, and his developmental path. She explained to us that why his is acting out this way - his self esteem was getting extremely low and instead of punishment and reprimands we need to change the way we treat him. Dr. Nikolskaya didn't spare her time to explain all the nuances of his condition to us and what was the best approach to handle it. My son visited her every week. After 2 sessions I noticed a big shift - he was less aggressive, in a month - "I want to destroy the world" behavior disappeared. Another huge help from her was addressing the issue at school. She wrote letters to the school on behalf of my son to ensure he was set up for success and recommended better approach to handle misbehavior instead of time-outs that undermined my son's self esteem which led a vicious cycle of him acting out because he felt bad about himself. The school agreed to implement the necessary changes and it shifted the whole picture. Instead of time outs he was asked to do some physical activity or do breathing exercises (that he learnt with Dr. Nikolskaya!). We haven't got any complains since. I'm so grateful to Dr. Nikolskaya! She goes an extra mile for her patients and work with love in her heart! She responds quickly to any questions and doesn't save time on explaining things, giving support! Her holistic approach combines her love for kids with her clinical expertise in a way that truly helps.

When I last saw Dr. Tseng, he said he was going to tell his staff that they needed to reschedule my cancelled appointment. I show up for what I believed to be my appointment that was scheduled months ago only to be told that I don't have an appointment and that someone else has been scheduled for that time slot, so I am SOL, basically. So, I don't know if Dr. Tseng forgot to tell the front staff to keep my appointment or if the staff forgot to do it. Regardless, I didn't see the doctor today. Sooooooo frustrating. It's unfortunate that I have to give this place a low score because Dr. Tseng is a knowledgeable physician who seems to care about his patients.....the one time I saw him via video appointment.

This doctor's office has the most unprofessional staff I have ever dealt with. I have been given the complete runaround regarding my insurance coverage. My insurance company has called them twice to confirm that they are in-network, yet the office continues to insist they are out of network and they refuse to schedule an appointment. The staff is rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to do their jobs correctly. I have wasted hours trying to resolve this, only to be met with misinformation and a lack of accountability.

She couldn't even see Dr. Tseng today because apparently the front desk stopped doing their jobs before they moved locations. She was told that somehow her appointment had not been "logged in" despite the fact that we called and confirmed her next appointment a few days after the last one because the dates did not add up. That should have been my first clue. Then, as if to place blame, they asked my mother where did she get the appointment card since the one she had was different.....apparently from her last appointment when you guys supposedly still did your jobs?? Nobody apologized for wasting our time and gas, and nobody would look her in the eye, basically confirming THEIR screw-up. She was just given another card (hopefully this one is valid?) and sent on her way. We are VERY angry at the incompetence. They could at LEAST take accountability instead of acting like they did nothing wrong. That was extremely unprofessional.

Dr. Edelman sat on his wheelchair slumped over and reviewing his computer and said very little and could not understand him. My son was so scared of him and did not want to conversate with him. With the very little information he got from us. He prescribed very high dosage seizure medication. We reviewed all the side effects and refused to give it our son. We had another opinion and they agreed with us on not moving forward with it. It could have made him in a more worse condition. We understand that he wants to help treat his patients but he needs to see his own health condition. He is not in the best health and his staff was not helpful and just there for a paycheck. It is a really sad office and for patients seeking his guidance that is no longer available or helpful to them. With deep regret, we do not recommend going to this office. Dr. Edelman needs to retire and enjoy what is left of his life. He has contributed his expertise in his early years that I am sure he was more alert and aware of the patient's needs.
