I was impressed with his sense of urgency, level of tact and communication and knowledgeable experience. He took the time to personally call when his staff had to reschedule a consult due to an emergency surgery which was completely understandable and very appreciated. Overall a very professional and caring Dr & team.

Compared with other neurosurgeons I interviewed and considered Dr. Naini was hands down the most…read morequalified, competent and compassionate. He explained my options carefully taking over and hour to answer questions, show me MRI's and explain what I was looking at. I woke up in the ICU after a very long surgery to see his face, the concern and calm manner was tremendously reassuring to me and my family. He repeatedly checked on me in the hospital and personally called me at home. Over the years with follow up and MRI's I've been in tears at times because of the way the way he walked me through the scariest health crises I'd ever had. He is in my mind the most humane, and best doctor I've ever known and he made me feel that my life was valuable and worth fighting for. It surprises me to see a reviewer report such a different experience in my case, I only think of Dr Naini with profound gratitude. The outcome wasn't perfect in my situation but I believe it was better than I could have hoped if anyone else had done the surgery. He is brilliant, but manages to convey genuine deep compassion, and that is priceless nowadays.

Waited for a long time to see dr murinova, absolutely desperate for help. After years of migraines…read moreand about to lose my job due to calling out sick from headaches. I can't describe the disappointment I felt when she breezed into the room with a seemingly tie dyed scarf and proceeded to tell about how she made it and demanded that I try it and bring the results to my next appointment. If I wasn't so devastated I should have challenged the charges to my insurance. Some years later I took an online course from dr murinova that was completely lacking in privacy and focused on trying to make flowers bloom and kittens chase butterflies using biofeedback to cure your migraines. I'm sorry but this was a complete turnoff, finally lessons learned and I have given up of any sort of meaningful treatment from this clinic.

Working with Dr. Cobbs during a really scary medical event made the process so much more bearable!…read moreHe is kind, listens well, explains things simply, and made time to answer myself and my family's questions. 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!!!!

No suggestions of treatments beyond medications. If you really want help you have to do all of your own research and come in with requests and reasons, and a concerned family member so that they know that there are people who care about you and need to see you better. Honestly they have done so much to worsen my condition. After seeing them for a couple years a really lost all hope in any medical professional and I just had no idea of any other resources open to me. Unfortunately I'm seeing them again at the moment because they are the neurologists who could get me in the soonest. I will be seeing a dedicated headache clinic ASAP and transferring to a different neurologist as well. I'm seeing Dr. Fischel at the moment and his assistant has literally not answered the phone or returned a call once over the past several months, and Dr Fischel himself always looks like he's slept 2 hours and has no treatment ideas and really doesn't even seem to care that I am in constant pain. Zero urgency, zero ability to even fulfill the most basic tasks. Could not be bothered to look into treatments or other clinics. Go figure. I always feel worse after going here which is saying a lot. I would rather have no neurologist than them but unfortunately it just looks better on paper for other doctors for me to have one.

I was told by another highly respected spinal surgeon that I could become paralyzed in both arms and not be able to feed myself soon because of the severe narrowing of my cervical spinal canal and I would need to undergo a posterior approach 4 level cervical fusion surgery which is extremely painful and difficult on the patient. He also stated that only a two level fusion could be done from an anterior approach. It took a couple of months to get a second opinion appointment with Dr. Oskouian but very well worth the wait. He did some additional tests and told me he could do a 3 level fusion from an anterior approach and this should help my current symptoms and prevent further deterioration. I decided to have Rod do the surgery and have been extremely happy with the results. I am 4 1/2 months out from surgery and doing amazingly well. A friend saw him a couple of years ago with a much less acute issue & he told her there was a chance it could resolve on it own without surgery and if she eventually did require surgery, she didn't need his skill level. She was very impressed. I am an example of someone who had a major spinal problem and he is the expert I needed!

The staff is friendly and caring as well, and they and the MRI scheduling team speak very highly of him. I highly recommend Dr. Fosmire.

I strongly recommend anyone seeking a great neurologist to call and make an appointment to see Dr. Fosmire... heads up though, he is often booked out 4+ months. Yes, he is that good... I had to learn the hard way when I called to make an appointment expecting to get in within a week or two, nope - not gonna happen!
