I saw her for DBS issue, she is very rude, her resident has more information on how to fix the problem then her. We do not recommend her,

If you are looking for top notch care she’s not it!!! She was recommended from another doctor and this lady bold faced lied to our faces about life and death treatment!!! Her resident knew more than she did!! Absolutely not, we can’t believe she’s allowed to practice let alone operate, please look elsewhere your LIFE depends on it!!!! When looking for a neurosurgeon you must really research and talk to patients not hospital staff, PATIENTS!!!! That’s how you find the Best doctors!!! Trust me!!! Dr.Air I pray Medical board sees you real soon!
