DR. MICHAEL D. CUSIMANO - ST. MICHAEL'S HOSPITAL REVIEWS
Wish I could rate him higher, this man saved my life! he removed my tumor, my family, to this day ask how I went into this head on (literally), his knowledge, patience, bedside manor, everything made me feel so comfortable and in the right hands. With his help I was able have many years and more to come! St. Mike's being a teaching hospital...I can only hope that many students have picked up as much as they can from him!
Dr. Cusimano performed spinal surgery on my husband. He was walking 2 days later! He takes his time with patients, he cares, he checks in, he is everything a doctor should be and more. His reputation speaks for itself and I am so grateful that he is my husband's Doctor!
I had a specialist diagnose me with a brain tumour and they fast tracked everything to St. Michaels. The tumor is the size of a softball and I know I may not be around if I didn't get the treatment. Thank you for your work.

DR. MICHAEL FEHLINGS - TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL REVIEWS
Dr. Fehlings operated on me, the surgery was very urgent, results are excellent. He stopped my problem from getting worse and saved me from spending the rest of my life in wheel chair. I am gradually returning to normal. Today he followed up with me on zoom and gave me good news about MRI results showing improvement of my conditions. I am very happy. I was really lucky to get this surgeon to operate on me.
Thank you very much Dr. Fehlings! My husband had a surgery on June 23,2021. I had a phone call at 12.04 pm from Dr. Fehlings. 4 minutes after surgery! He told me that he could not imagine how my husband was living with this kind of pain. That was true! Now after 2 months my husband almost fully recovered. He can walk, he can swim, he can live full life. It was very successful surgery and we really appreciate what Dr. Fehlings, his team, his secretary Anne did for us. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Leyla and Nicholas.
Dr.Fehlings is one of the best surgeon in Canada, he is very knowledgeable ! I had Sever Spinal Stenosis and done ACDF at C4-C7, I am 49 years old. Totally recommend this kind, caring, & knowledgeable Doctor!! 10 stars not just 5!

DR. TAUFIK VALIANTE - TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL REVIEWS
Dr. Valiante saved my life. I didn't want to live. I couldn't handle the seizures. I have been seizure free for 14 years. Thank You Dr. Volante!
Humble, patient, and caring doctor who took the time to explain what I was dealing with and my options. Really put my mind at ease, as I have been suffering with my spine condition for so many years. Very grateful Dr. Valiante is my doctor!
Had a great experience with Dr.Valiante, very caring and compassionate doctor, with great bedside manner. Also was able to get me booked for surgery very quickly and efficiently.
