May 05, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERHe was great!
May 04, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI would highly recommend Dr. Stillerman to anyone that is looking for an attentive and compassionate filled doctor. He explains medical terminology in an understandable method and he will ask for the patients opinion and how the patient wants to proceed. He never pushed his will or thoughts. In other words, itÕs a collaborative relationship and therefore pleasurable and one can reliably depend on his knowledge and bedside manner for a positive outcome.
April 30, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Stillerman is an amazing surgeon. He always listens to my concerns and goes out of his way to include me in the decision making. He stood for 6 hours as he meticulously performed a very risky surgery that could have easily paralyzed me. Through Dr. Stillerman's excellent skills and extensive experience, I came through surgery without any complications. I 100% recommend him as an outstanding Neurosurgeon.
April 22, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI felt like I was seen and heard. I was looking for answers, and that is what I received as well as solutions/plans.
