Patient Reviews
Sep 10, 2023
Dr. Baskin operated on my daughter August 30, 2023 for resection of a glioma in the frontal lobe of her brain. I'm so thankful that he was the surgeon who looked after her. His professional skills, goodness and kindness were overwhelming to my family as we were very anxious about the surgery. He provided amazing results and we feel blessed that he was the Doctor who operated on her. Thank you Dr. Baskin!
