Patient Reviews
Aug 24, 2023
Dr. Aho is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my health, but he is also very easy to speak with. It's rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. Last year I was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor, I was 57 years old. I could not walk, my right side of my body was not functioning, and I was in a wheelchair. I was very nervous, and scared to have surgery. Dr. Aho was awesome, knowledgeable, sensitive, informative, and he made me feel at ease with the surgery. He assured me I was in good hands, and he was confident I would make a good recovery. After the surgery I spent 5 weeks in the hospital. I had to learn to walk, write, and eat, it was a long journey. At times I would feel down about my recovery, but Dr. Aho would visit me most days of the week in the hospital, and he cheered me up with his visits. After rehab, i am now on my way to a normal life. Doctor Aho is the BEST!!!
