    Dr. Muse performed 2 craniotomies on me, checking on my progress daily and kept me informed during my hospital stay.

    All supporting staff had positive attitudes. Facility was clean. The doctor remembered my case from a month prior when I was admitted.

    First time visit went well! Good setup in the waiting room, got clear directions in the waiting room, and saw the doctor a little earlier than the actual appointment

    This was a follow up to emerges neurosurgery performed by Dr. Muse. He is an incredible Doctor/Surgeon. He also treated me with respect and compassionand spent as much time as I needed to explain things and map out my way forward. At this appointment, his staff removed 40 staples from my surgery site and kept my discomfort to a minimum. I am very appreciative to this practice and cannot imagine how anyone could do this any better.
