Dr. Arnau Benet Cabero

After suffering major postoperative complications following repeat brain surgery at UCLA in August 2025, including meningitis, persistent diplopia, severe balance dysfunction, repeated hospitalizations, and ultimately permanent disability, I was fortunate to come under the care of Dr. Arnau Benet. From my very first visit, Dr. Benet treated me not just as another patient, but as a human being going through one of the most difficult periods of my life. He carefully reviewed my imaging, explained my condition in detail, and most importantly continued to personally follow my recovery progress when I felt lost and unsupported after my surgery. What impressed me the most was the level of compassion, professionalism, and attention he provided. Unlike my prior experience, Dr. Benet consistently took the time to examine me in person, review my neurological status thoroughly, answer every question, and explain both the positive findings and the ongoing concerns honestly. His follow-up care… has been extraordinary. Despite the seriousness of my postoperative complications, Dr. Benet remained optimistic while still being realistic. He identified ongoing neurological, visual, and balance deficits, coordinated further imaging and treatment, and helped guide me through recovery step by step. His documentation and explanations were incredibly thorough, and he never made me feel rushed or dismissed. Most importantly, he gave me hope. Even during moments where I felt overwhelmed by disability, vision problems, inability to drive, and uncertainty about my future, Dr. Benet continuously encouraged me and reminded me that recovery after major neurosurgery can take significant time. I truly believe Dr. Benet is an exceptional neurosurgeon and physician. His expertise, bedside manner, and dedication to patient care stand out, and I am deeply grateful for the support he and his team have provided throughout my recovery journey.
