Patient Reviews
Jan 22, 2024
I was told by another surgeon I would loose function of my right arm. After a tumor removed from my brachial plexus with Dr. Boockvar, I had full use of my right arm. Besides his brilliance and expertise, he is kind, has a great bedside manner, listens intently and explains your options and prognosis very well. If I ever had to have my brain or spinal cord operated upon again, I’d choose Dr. Boockvar hands down! *****
