Patient Reviews
Mar 14, 2020
My daughter was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and needed to see a neurosurgeon. Dr. Governale was very professional and through. He explained her condition in language that we could understand and made sure our 16 year old daughter could too. He answered all of our questions and made our daughter feel comfortable as he could tell she was very nervous.
