My experience with Dr. Stanger has been horrible. He refuses to listen to his patients. He also refuses to work together with pain management on a plan to help his patients. I would not recommend.

I’ve received the best care surgically I could have ever received . I honestly believe that the Lord led me to Dr Stanger . From the time we first met to the time he did my procedure he has been right there he and his staff always whisking cinwrn and care for his patients. Never before have I seen such professionalism. God has blessed him with a rare talent and he is using it wisely. Thank you Dr Syanger and staff

Dr. Stanger is one of the most personable and knowledgeable Neurosurgeons that I have ever encountered!He LISTENS and explains what could be the cause and possible treatments.Dr. Stanger and his Nurse Tia have given me hope for a future with some syblance of normalcy just when I was ready to give up. Proficiency, professionalism, and a staff that truly cares about their patients is a rarity these days and Dr. Stanger, Tia, and his staff go above and beyond all expectations.

I felt all hope was lost. I have been battling the effects of a spinal injury since 2009. The chronic pain has put my entire life at a standstill. I am so blessed for my pain management doctor, Dr. Sandra Weitz, referring me to Dr. Stanger. His compassion is heart felt and his willingness to listen and come up with a plan of action WITH the patient has given me the courage to have hope again. If you are in need of a Neurosurgeon that will listen, take time with you and ultimately wants you to restore a full life, Dr. Stanger is your only choice!
