Patient Reviews
May 10, 2023
Dr. Adam Sonabend Worthalter reminds me of the fictional Dr. House on television, except that Dr. Sonabend is a nice guy with manners. He thinks deeply about how to solve one's medical issues, without putting artificial and conventional constraints on the 'how'. He is willing to rebut traditional experts yet at the same time respecting their expertise, and he willingly works with experts, yet insisting on keeping the expertise and spark of imagination that he brings to bear. To give a concrete example, Dr. Sonabend Worthalter leads a team that has figured out and proven how to get chemotherapy drugs past the blood-brain barrier for patients with brain cancers and tumors, a Nobel Prize level breakthrough for humankind. And another example, Dr. Sonabend Worthalter performed brain surgery on me, and I now walk and think like I could years ago. Dr. Sonabend Worthalter is a great doctor and a leader in Neurosurgery. - William Wells, May 2023
