CURTIS E. DOBERSTEIN, MD - LIFESPAN PHYSICIAN GROUP REVIEWS
Dr. Doberstein did my sons surgery when he was diagnosed with moyamoya disease at 9 years old. He progressed so quickly; from ER visit to surgery. It was truly the worst time of my life. Dr. Doberstein was so attentive and patient with us and explained everything with compassion. His follow up visit was great as well and was not awkward with my son. He truly saved my sons life. The secretary at his office though... She's rude. I had called and asked if the covid vaccine was safe for him to get. She then asked me if I was SURE he did my sons surgery? Didn't ask me his name or dob. Only that he's 12. She said, it should be okay I guess. I'm just trying to care for my son. Why do I feel like we bother them.
Dr. Doberstein did my surgery for anyersum clipping. I was so scared, him and his team were very compassionate with me, & made me feel safe. Thank you for taking such good care of me.
Dr. Doberstein has done both of my cervical fusions. He’s a great guy and a great surgeon! He really cares about his patients and I wouldn’t have gone to anyone else.
Absolutely the Best!! If it wasn’t for this Doctor, I would not be walking today! The Absolute Best in his field of expertise. - T C White
Couldn't say enough great things. Him and his NP are wonderful! Had mvd 1 year ago, no major pains or problems since. Good bed side manors, good post op care at hospital as well.

ADETOKUNBO OYELESE, MD, PHD, FAANS - LIFESPAN PHYSICIAN GROUP REVIEWS
I was in a lot of pain in my neck and left shoulder. Dr. Oyelese sent me for an MRI. At my next appointment Dr.Oyelese informed me I had a bulging disc above my cervical fusion. He explained in detail if I chose to have the surgery what could happen. I chose to go ahead with my surgery. The best thing I could have done. I’m no longer in severe pain. Dr. Oyelese was very honest about what could go wrong. He’s a caring person. I never had a Dr fully explain the downside of the surgery. Dr Oyelese is the best neurosurgeon.
Dr. Oyelese is the reason I am walking today. I was in a severe car accident, and he caught a burst fracture on an MRI that was missed twice by other Drs. The resulting surgery that he performed was extremely complex, 12+ hours, but here I am, forever grateful that he was on rotation that night all those years ago.
Dr Oyelese is amazing! His bedside manner and talent go above and beyond. His PA's are just as amazing! The office staff are always helpful. He has performed 2 fusion surgeries for me and both were successful and my scars are virtually non existent!!!

DEUS J. CIELO, MD REVIEWS
Dr. Cielo is by far the best Dr. I have had. He is kind and talks to you so you can understand everything about your condition. I had a Brain Tumor in 2014 and I feel if I had not had him for my Surgeon my outcome could have been so much different. He greets you with a smile and a hug and shows you genuine compassion. I recommend, him highly for any Neurological needs. Thank you Dr. Cielo for being the kind of Dr. That we wish they all could be. If only more doctors would follow in your footsteps.
I recently had a laminectomy. Doctor Cielo was very reassuring, as well as down to earth. As a matter fact, the entire office staff was kind and considerate. I would recommend him to my family and friends.
A fantastic doctor with a stellar reputation. Also just the nicest bedside manner. I have great trust in him. He handled my relative's gamma knife surgery and all went quite well.
