“The following quote by Edgar A. Kahn, MD (Professor Emeritus, Neurosurgery, University of Michigan) as set forth in his Journal of a Neurosurgeon, most accurately describes the neurosurgeons in this practice … ‘The neurosurgeon I want for my family is competent, unspectacular, quiet and unemotional, and worries about his patients a little more than he should’”
William F. D’Angelo, MD, Neurosurgeon
