Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2022
I saw Dr Lesniak in 2007 for removal of a benign meningioma that was resting on both my hearing and my vestibular nerves, affecting both my hearing and my balance. I was 58 at the time. My surgery actually was done in half the time promised because it was on my outer sheath, not touching my actual brain. It was way larger than initially predicted, but he finished in 4 hours leaving me with my balance totally restored and a slight gain in my hearing with no other residual problems. Was home in under a week, got therapy and was went back to work in 8 weeks. He took his time to explain everything, and even joked with my husband and I all the way through my convalescence. I would highly recommend this Dr to anyone who needs brain surgery. He is the best!!
