DR. GARY J. REDEKOP REVIEWS
Dr. Redekop is kind, concerned, compassionate and skilled and he has the most amazing administrator with a heart of gold named Christine. It is very clear that this is a passion for both of them and they truly care deeply about patients. After operating on me to do a sub occipital bi lateral craniotomy, dr Redekop checked on me everyday in the hospital, even showed me pictures of the procedure, which was amazing to see! He has the ability to make a very scary situation feel less scary because of his confident reassurance which is based in his neurosurgical skills. Like everyone else here, I can’t say enough good things about him! Thank you Dr. Redekop for helping me!
This man and his team saved my life. I would be dead right now without him. My kids wouldn’t have a mother and my parents would have had to bury me. He saved my life. He is the most intelligent yet down to earth person. There are no words…….he actually took time (more than most would) to comfort me and talk to my family and oh….did I mention HE SAVED MY LIFE. I was so overwhelmed at the time, I almost felt ungrateful because the whole experience was so overwhelming.But this man is a hero. He’s a complete and total hero. He’s one of a kind. And I can’t ever repay the second chance at life he gave me…..he’s the best…..the best of the best……and I owe him everything…..
Without a doubt, Dr, Redekop was the absolute best Medical Professional that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, He was very courteous, detailed and helpful in our meeting. The time and detail that he took with me in our meeting was nothing short of phenomenal which included a description of the cause of my event in the Fall 2019. I cannot speak any higher about Dr. Redekop.

DR. NAVRAJ HERAN - FALSE CREEK SPINE SURGERY REVIEWS
I have to give double thumbs up for Dr. Heran. He gave me my life back. After a year of the most terrible and extremely difficult year of my life, Dr. Heran and his team returned me back to health. I had a 4 level fusion (ACDF) in July of 2023 and I can say this. After 6 weeks I was able to return to some of the things I couldn’t do for over a year. Thank you.
I suffered from spinal stenoses . Dr. Heran performed the back surgery and I can only recommend him and his wonderful staff
Very happy with the C5-C6 discectomy surgery of Dr. Heran. Recovery went very well. I'm completely back to my "old self" again! Severe nerve pain is completely gone. Very grateful!
Dr. Navraj Heran is a highly skilled, efficient, precise neurosurgeon. I was told by other doctors to "live with it", "too risky". Dr. Navraj Heran performed two separate surgeries on my cervical spine and my cranium. Both surgeries an amazing success. The pain, vertigo, numbness, worry, stress, gone. Now it is my responsibility to properly live life; maintain physio, rest, exercise and look for joy all around me. I can't thank Dr. Heran and his amazing staff enough. Imagine his constant time and energy pressure; responsibility, paperwork, surgeries, follow ups, emergency calls, patient appts, and professional updating. We are fortunate to live in a world with access to such a gifted surgeon. Thank you for giving me back the opportunity to enjoy rather than endure my life - DW.

DR. PETER GOODERHAM REVIEWS
in late november Dr Gooderham saved my fathers life and made his life better, my father was emitted into the hospital for an horrible migraine that was getting worse by the second where an MRI scan was issued and they found out he had an large brain tumour. he was urgently airlifted to the Vancouver hospital from Penticton for the brain tumour being the size of a small melon. Dr Gooderham immediately went into surgery with him and removed the tumour. my dads now 100% more happy and feels way better and bright/lively now that the tumours gone. without Dr Gooderham he probably wouldn't be here right now, we are all so thankful for Dr. Gooderham.
