DR. ANTHONY MICHAEL KAUFMANN REVIEWS
In September of 2021, I suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm therefore needing emergency surgery. Although I don't remember much, I do know that Dr. Kaufmann was my surgeon. He, and his team in the Health Sciences Center were absolutely outstanding! Not only did he save my life, for which I will be eternally grateful, but his truly caring nature still gives me comfort a year later. I consider myself extremely blessed that Dr. Kaufmann with his extensible knowledge and compassion was my surgeon on that fateful evening.
Dr Kaufmann met with me three times before the Gamma Knife procedure as I was really nervous about it, he was very patient and explained to me what our options were and their related risk. 5/5 great surgeon.
Dr. Kaufmann, Olive and staff were very caring and helpful. The MVD was cancelled a few times due to emergencies but when it was done in September 22, 2020 it was a relief. The operation was a huge success. The pain is finally gone. I trust Dr. Kaufmann with my life!

DR. JOSEPH SILVAGGIO REVIEWS
This man is my daughters guardian angel. She is 15 years old and took a very rare stroke after a routine heart surgery. He removed a blood clot from hee brain so fast that she is home recovering very well 3 days later. He saved her life. He also checked on her every day. I will be forever grateful to this man. He is the kindest and caring person.
I saw my earlier comment being posted today. I have to correct my previous post that Dr. Silvaggio’s knowledge rating should be 5 out of 5 stars too and should be even more than that! Dr. Silvaggio did what he can above and beyond for my sister to the best of his professional expertise. Yet, he still remained humble and acknowledged his seniors/mentors who have helped him honed his skills and abilities as one of the best neurosurgeons we have come across in our lifetime. Thank you again very much Dr. Silvaggio and to the rest of your team and colleagues, may our Father God above graciously keep all of you and bless you in all that you do! - Grace Medina again! :))
Man saved my life and removed a 4.5cm olingdroglioma from my head. I'm now going to get to see my sons graduate.
Dr Silvaggio performed a L_4 Laminectomy on me Dec 15th 2023 It has been 2 months since my surgery and I'm doing great. Before seeing Dr Silvaggio I met with 3 other doctors,2 Physios one acupuncture doctor, one chiropractor. Plus a couple of emergency visits to the hospital. They kept telling me that it was sciatic nerve pain and that I needed rest and wasn't a candidate for a MRI. After suffering with this pain for more than 5 months I went to a private clinic in Calgary and got a MRI on my own. After Dr Silvaggio seen the MRI he told me what my problem was and that he could fix it with surgery. Ten days later he did the surgery the next day I was up and walking and the pain was gone. It felt like a miracle to me, thank god for Dr Silvaggio - RS

DR. NEIL BERRINGTON REVIEWS
I was introduced to Dr. Neil Berrington as he did my rysotomy at HSC pain mgmt clinic. you couldnt wish for better. he kept apologizing for the trauma. there was nothing to it when he did the procedure. I'd had it done at Pan Am and besides almost passing out with pain (something got punctured), I was very sick with the first produce, but nothing like that with Dr. Berrington. his manner, knowledge and work are top notch.. also had Owen Williams who really messed me up badly...
DR Neil Berrington gave me a new lease on life without chronic pain he performed L5-S1 spinal fusion surgery on me on june 10 this year. Also thank you Debbie and staff for helping me true this . I highly recommend him and his staff they are good caring people. thank you from north manitoba.
