Dr. Curtis E Doberstein, MD

Explains procedure in detail, very compassionate and great results!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Doberstein and his PA, Stephanie. From the very beginning, they treated me with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Doberstein always takes the time to thoroughly explain everything to me, review my scans in detail, and make sure I truly understand my condition and treatment options. I never once felt rushed or overlooked. What sets Dr. Doberstein apart is not only his incredible knowledge and skill, but the way he truly cares about his patients. After everything I have been through, I can honestly say that I am walking today because of Dr. Doberstein. That is something I will forever be grateful for. He and Stephanie have made an incredibly difficult journey so much easier with their kindness, patience, and support. If you are looking for a surgeon who is exceptionally talented, compassionate, and dedicated to his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Doberstein and his team. They are simply outstanding.

Dr. Doberstein saved my life. I was out of hospital in 3 days after brain surgery. He is a GOD to me!

Need to have surgery. Dr. Doberstein was very informative. Staff was very friendly, Accommodating while easing my anxiety.

After the one appointment we had with Dr. Doberstein, we knew he was not just the best surgeon for my dad, but the most thoughtful person we could have asked for. We are so thankful to him and his staffâ?¦ The surgery was a success and my dad is doing great! We highly recommend Dr. Doberstein.

He is Excellent, and you will not only feel safe, you will be safe in Curtis Dobersteins' hands. As a professional myself, in another field, I can assure anyone and encourage anyone, who is experiencing pain in the spine or neck, to seek an appointment with Dr. Doberstein of the NEUROSURGERY FOUNDATION, INC. which is comprised of the top seven Neurosurgeons, Vascular Surgeons, and Pediatrics, Spine and Function Surgeons. Dr. Doberstein also serves as the Brown Medical School Neurosurgery Residency Program Director. He directs the Section of Vascular Neurosurgery at Rhode Island Hospital. Surgery is the last option Dr. Doberstein and the members of the NEUROSERGICAL FOUNDATION considers.

I'm sorry to say but I am in so much pain after my second surgery! My first surgery went well but not the second! I was told this was normal !The Doctors are very friendly if you can get an appointment and sorry to say some of the staff are extremely rude!

Heard some good things about Dr. D, so I let him perform a discectomy on me. I knew I needed surgery, and soon, so I took the first appointment I could get, and it happened to be him. After many weeks of recovery, I have worse pain in areas that I have never even experienced pain in previously. Every time I call the office I am told "that is normal." Each conversation lasts about 45 seconds. Now I have been calling for 5 days, and can't even get someone to call me back. I am experiencing too much pain to begin physical therapy and don't know what to do, seeing as how Dr. D's office is the one "caring" for me. There's hundreds of surgeons in the area. Go find one that people say truly cares, cause this staff does not!!

worse experience ever, your office staff is rude, just because you are a well respected Dr, doesn't mean you should treat your patients like they are just a paycheck, I almost continued to live my life in crippling pain because of the 15 min appointment I waited 4 weeks to have with you. You told me i needed surgery, and you were right, but there was no way I was going to let you cut on me... Just a piece of advise not that you care, but you were so NON CARING, and so unattentive during our consultation,which was very upsetting to me and my wife because we were both terrified with the thought of me having surgery, we needed some answers and some reassurance. What we got from you Dr Doberstein, was nothing,,, if you think back you may (i doubt it) remember our conversation. Yep you need surgery, so make up your mind, and you and your PA walked out the door.. We attempted to ask questions during our short visit and you cut both of us off, in mid sentence, I guess you had a golf… game to get to because as you were leaving you through a printed piece of paper explaining the procedure on your desk and walked out. YOU ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LIVE MY LIFE IN CRIPPLING PAIN,,,, bet you don't even care, but i thought i would tell you,,, I was fixed by the best neurosurgeon on the east coast, and believe me I am telling everyone,....Oh Yeah just a little tid bit for you, my wife's physical therapist and her neurologist said she needed to see a neurosurgeon and go figure they both recommended you.... You can bet my wife told them both the story and she wont be coming to see you and neither will any other people I know that need your services..... They are all being referred to the COMPASSIONATE, CARING, PROFESSIONALS..

This man does think he is God. He has operated twice on me. The last operation was a failure. The disc is still pressing on the S1 nerve and all the test show so, but Dr. Doberstein has not told me the test results, acts like there isn't a problem. If you see this man, ask for a copy of all your test and read the results for your self.
