Patient Reviews
Nov 28, 2022
At 40 years old--a husband and father of four boys--I started having a rare vision condition called palinopsia. An MRI showed a brain mass initially diagnosed as an arachnoid cyst. Dr. Marcus Ware recommended a craniectomy and removal of the cyst. I sought a second opinion from a guy who was lauded as the "top neurosurgeon" in New Orleans, and he acted like surgery would be mad science. My intellect and gut told me to trust Dr. Ware: he had carefully considered the medical evidence and appeared to be more concerned about helping his patient than his own risk of performing a difficult surgery. I underwent surgery. It turned out, as I'm sure Dr. Ware suspected, the lesion was a tumor dangerously close to puncturing a ventricle and killing me. Now two months post-op, my vision problems are gone and I have returned to normal life, better than before. I have the chance to live and spend another 40 years with my wife and kids, which might not have been the case without Dr. Ware's care.
