After seeing about 10 other spine surgeons over the past 4 years for my current problem, Dr Sansur was by far the easiest to talk to. He allowed the time necessary to understand and convey to me the complexities of my spine. He has given me more treatment options than any other surgeon. His work-up has been thorough and at my most recent visit the underlying problem was explained in a way that I could better make the necessary connections between what had developed and the pain. I now have more hope and a sustained determination for a better quality of life. I really appreciate his interest and involvement in research and how this carries over to his patient care. Outstanding neurosurgeon!
