He came to my hospital room that evening and said "You will never need surgery. You just cannot move it until you see me in 6/7 days. Gravity will heal your arm." He left never to return. I carried my fractured right arm around with my left arm for over three weeks with major pain and swelling. My daughter and I followed their instructions daily as it got unbearable. We finally got another orthopedic surgeon in Seattle who was shocked and said emergency surgery should have been done three weeks early. Gravity was never going to heal my arm. No one should ever have to endure such inhumane treatment. Being a senior citizen doesn't mean you don't matter or don't deserve the best health care possible.

Luckily, Dr. Newell took on my case for me and he and his staff couldn't have made me feel more at ease. Dr. Newell has a very calm, confident and warm personality that allows you to relax and know that you are in good hands (and I am a professional worrier). The procedure went super smoothly and I felt like I got white glove service the whole time; it was the best experience I have had getting a procedure done. Sarah, his super funny PA, followed up with me multiple times to make sure my sutures were healing well and his staff was super flexible with my busy schedule. Thankfully, my procedure was very simple but I can given the professionalism of him and his staff, I can see why Dr. Newell is one of the best neurosurgeons in Seattle.

I thought since he would barely speak to me after surgery and nearly a month inpatient that perhaps he would at my post-op appointment. I waited 1.5 hours after my scheduled appointment in the room for him. Actually called the front desk from my cell without a answer and then from the phone in the patient room THREE times, also without an answer. I finally went out and had to ask if anyone knew whether I was in there and if I was going to see him. It was much like the night I was brought in for surgery. I was transferred from Swedish Ballard to the wrong hospital via ambulance and had to be transferred again. Was told by his PA I may not get to meet him prior to surgery in the morning because he was "too busy." WTF I was given a blank consent form to sign. At this point I lost my cool as I did when they told me I would be having neurosurgery and wouldn't be meeting my surgeon. They failed to tell me they would be taking a rib, collapsing my lung and I'd be waking up in the ICU for my second surgery. I also woke up unable to move or feel my right leg from the hip down. Weird because I didn't have any issues with my legs and was walking fine prior to both surgeries. Not only that, they went In ANTERIORLY from the LEFT side and my RIGHT leg was affected. "You should be fine in a week, then it went to a "year." I was in a wheelchair for over a year. I'm still in PT and it's been two years. I've only been walking independently for five months. This A-hole couldn't give me the courtesy to tell me what could have possibly happened because there are only "24 hours in a day." I had to resign from my job, my life was turned upside down, I lost my independence and you were stacking surgeries. I was essentially stuck in my house for months as I was fighting for my apartment complex to get an ADA ramp as I couldn't get up my ramp if I went down it. I would have to ask people passing by to help. My w/c nor walked would fit through the doorways to my apartment as my building was old. They had to remove my doors so my walker would fit through them. Disability didn't come close to covering my rent and having just started a new job I didn't have insurance safety nets. Now I take medicine for PTSD for horrible reoccurring nightmares about you and you're rewarded $1.5 million for "emotional trauma." You've never suffered in the shoes I have, not even close. Funny that I wrote a short review on Healthgrades, it was posted, you responded and two days later it was deleted. I went to post it again as there was nothing against their rules for content yet they said it didn't follow their rules. I'm still in rehab. Two years later. I have worked very hard. I have lost a lot of time out of life and it's exhausting. It's exhausting limping around everywhere despite being able to limp. It's annoying being asked continually what's wrong with me and what happened. It's awful having dreams that bring it all back as my experience at Swedish was horrific and your dismissiveness was even worse. Your life went on and mine changed for life. You didn't have ten minutes to pull up a chair to explain what could have happened. I still don't know and my trust in the medical system is now broken.

He takes the time to answer all your questions and explains in simplest terms so you fully understand. When he's in the office with you he is totally focused on you and your problems. I thot the "Bedside manner" was a thing of the past but it is alive and well in Dr Mohit. I highly recommend Dr Mohit and everyone here. If I ever need to have surgery again or any of my family members he will be the surgeon. 100 stars

The administrative staff is less than desirable . Not very friendly and does not call you back. Waited two weeks to get phone call for scheduling my injection. However when I called them to find out when I could schedule my injection, they said that the approval from my insurance still has not come back. I called my insurance immediately and they said that they had just received the request for the procedure within minutes after I got off the phone with the spine center. My insurance said that they would process this claim and get it back to them promptly. I then had to call back the spine center a week later to find out when I could come in for my injection. I was then scheduled for my injection a week later. They are not on top of their paperwork and procedures at all in the front office. Nor do they take responsibility when they have made a mistake. I would suggest that if you use this center, be proactive in scheduling your appointments and be proactive with your insurance so that you get the care that you deserve because the doctor is a great doctor.

Not only did he do a great job on my craniotomy (no small feat!), he made me feel human and was so compassionate. I cannot recommend him and his team enough! After surgery he explained well what happened and his office answered my questions quickly via MyChart. No one else I'd trust with my actual brain! And the research work he does is incredibly inspiring, going above simply working with patients to advance care for others. Thank you Dr. Cobbs and team!

Dr Cobbs is supposed to be a brain tumor expert. His first question was "So why are you here to see…read moreme today?" He didn't pick up on my sarcasm, when I chuckled, told him it was a worry when a specialist doesn't know why a patient is there to see them, then I said, "Well, we could start with the brain tumor." He told me that my chronic headaches, which sometimes feel like my eye is being pushed out, was unrelated to my tumor, that my vision changes were unrelated to my tumor, the frontal lobe where my brain tumor is has nothing to do with higher level math or communication. He told me that he could be 100% certain it was a benign meningioma from imaging. He said he could be certain the other tumors were unrelated: three breast tumors with discordant pathology/radiology, a contrast enhanced extradural spinal mass, and Drs trying to determine if I have a single adrenal tumor or bilateral, and others. He didn't ask me about any other symptoms - such as the toe twitching that recently started. My husband started worrying when he started to repeatedly beat me at Carcassonne, which used to be 1/6 games. My son thought the tumor explained some of my personality changes. The worst, Dr Cobbs claimed that 10% of all women have this type of brain tumor! My husband joined us (via FB messenger). Afterwards, he said, "Did he just say that 10% of all women have meningioma brain tumors? I'll have to look that up." Both my husband and I have done scientific research. I even wrote to Dr Cobbs to make sure we got his message right (attached). In the communication, he then said that higher level math was in the area of concern. I'm an applied mathematician. Women beware!!!!

I still look forward to our check-ups, knowing that if something does arise he will be the most trustworthy ophthalmologist to deal with it.

"I gotta guy." is usually reserved for a good mechanic, electrician or plumber and not so much for…read moresurgeons as you may see one, once or twice in your lifetime. But as you see, I have Dr. Schwartz on that list to whomever asks me about a great shoulder-guy. (I work in the electrical industry; we get a lot of shoulder and knee problems.) Anyway, I was warned by my coworkers who've gone through similar shoulder surgeries about all the post-surgery problems, mainly pain and recovery I will encounter. Not true after my surgery with Dr. Schwartz. Yes, your mileage may vary but the worst part for me was having to wear a sling. My pain was minimal and recovery was very quick. (I had the full-meal deal; rotator cuff and bicep reattachment and I guess my collarbone had to be shaved.). Dr. Schwartz was very patient and actually listened to my concerns both pre and post-op. He explained everything from my injuries, my upcoming surgery and what to expect afterwards. He's pretty proud of his work, even showing me a video of my surgery. And his staff was awesome! I liked his work so much, I had my other shoulder repaired three months after my first.. this shoulder's recovering fine as well. One thing to note: getting something surgically repaired is not like taking your car to the mechanic. You can't expect to just go take boxing lessons after you leave the shop. It takes time and a lot of physical therapy to properly heal, as Dr. Schwartz told me on my very first visit. Follow your post-op instructions handed to you and actually DO your physical therapy routines and you'll be fine. So if you're looking for a really great shoulder-surgeon, "I gotta guy...."

I had been dealing with shoulder pain for over a year when I finally saw Dr. Schwartz. He decided…read morethat surgery would be the next logical step and said that he would find a repair whatever was wrong. He did find and fix a couple things that were wrong, and said that if I followed my PT my shoulder would be as good as new.

Dr. Schwartz ordered another MRI and I feel like I'm right back where I started, having wasted 6 months and a lot of money. I was terrified of having surgery by Dr. Schwartz assured me that it would end up solving my problem. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
