Dr Girgis was great. He explained everything to me and went above and beyond explains exactly what was going on with cervical spine issue. He used cross sections of my MRI to show me exactly what was going on with my cervical spline problem.

Dr. Girgis is an amazing doctor, especially for a neurosurgeon! He demonstrates kindly bedside manner by listening and explaining. Other neuro(surgeons) I have met and have worked with have been arrogant, rude, and uncaring . Dr Girgis is none of these.

In my experience, a kind and attentive surgeon is hard to find and an attentive neurosurgeon is nearly impossible. Dr. Girgis is one of those rare surgeons. He listens, explains an never seems rushed.
