Patient Reviews
Jul 11, 2024
I went to see Dr Sekhar after an MRI discovered my daily dizziness was coming from my left vestibular artery in my brain that was pushing against my number eight cranial nerve. I did substantial research and found him through reviews. He is absolutely the best neurosurgeon in the state and probably in the top five in the country. His bedside manner was unreal. Definitely knows what he’s doing and would highly recommend you at least consult with him.
