Dr. Britz saved my husbands life. God put us in the right place at the right time to be in the care of this brilliant and skillful neuro serve on. My husband had a ruptured aneurysm/ AVM. Dr. Britz was able to make the call of waiting 9 days for the brain swelling to go down and then precisely go in for open brain surgery to remove the affected veins. My husband is expected to make a full recovery. He is walking, talking, driving 2 month out of surgery. Still weak on his right side and fine motor skills are not quite what they were BUT from zero mobility on his right side it has been a true miracle. If you saw him, you would NEVER know. Thank you, Doctor Britz!
