ANDREW K. METZGER, MD - SOUTHWEST NEUROSURGICAL ASSOCIATES REVIEWS
The staff at SWNSA are outstanding. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, friendly, and handled my many needs professionally and promptly. Dr. Metzger performed the surgery necessary to relief my pain and correct my problem disc, and I am very grateful for the success of that procedure. My husband has commented that healthy appearance of the incision demonstrates the impressive skills of the surgeon. I would recommend this practice without reservation. Thank you SWNSA!
I was really nervous going into my appointment not knowing if I would get any answers. All the staff is so nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I didn't have to wait long to see Dr. Metzger which was really nice. Dr. Metzger took his time explaining my options and did not rush through anything. I am so happy that I was referred to him.
My husband was seen by Dr. Metzger for a brain tumor and he has been a blessing to us, my husband was in so much pain when he started seeing Dr. Metzger and after 2 Gamma Knife procedures, the tumor has shrunk and my husband hasn't had any pain the procedure was successful and Dr. Metzger was always so polite and explained everything to us thoroughly. Thank you for all you did for us Dr. Metzger, I am sure you are a Blessing to many.

MARK BRYNIARSKI, MD REVIEWS
Dr. Bryniarski is amazing! I was very nervous about my discectomy, and I lucked out being referred to Dr. Bryniarski. He is incredibly qualified - in neurology, neurosurgery, and vascular surgery, so he's got you covered in all areas. My surgery went great! I'm getting great results already. The incision is beautiful. Very good surgery. Very good surgeon. I'm so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Bryniarski!
Dr. Mark Bryniarski is an outstanding neurosurgeon who is very intelligent and knows the brain very well. He performed brain surgery for removal of a cavernous malformation on the brain stem on my husband 2 months ago. He then had to do a 2nd emergency brain surgery the next day due to the development of Hydrocephalus. He saved my husband's life. He kept close contact on my husband during recovery and updated me daily. He was always open for any questions I had. 2 months later, my husband, who has been through 2 brain surgeries has a longer recovery and still in the hospital. He is close to going to rehabilitation. Dr. Bryniarski continues to follow up on his progress and contact me for updates. We decided to choose Dr. Bryniarski to perform the surgery because of his extensive education background and many years of experience. I can tell he has compassion in his career and cares a lot about his patients. I highly recommend him for brain surgery.
Excellent Doctor. All of you whiners out there should realize that a good brain surgeon saves our lives.
