What Our Patients Are Saying About Us

SymeonMissiosMD-Neurosurgeon

My Husband has made a Full Recovery

I hear you saying Merry Christmas last year, and that indeed was and always will be the best Christmas for me. My husband has made a full recovery after suffering a major stroke the afternoon of Christmas Eve. The rapid, skillful and compassionate response by you and your team is a gift for which my family and I are forever grateful.

Sincerely,

Linda and Robert M.

Thanks for your Care and Concern

Dr. Missios,
Thank You again for your care and concern throughout my attempt for the near stimulator surgeries. You were the only one to help me through the process when the device stopped working and I really do appreciate it. I will let you know what the next treatment plan brings.

You showed Compassion from the First Day

Dear Dr. Missios,
I have been wanting to write you for awhile now. As you can guess this may be a challenge to get down what my heart feels!
I am so ever grateful just as my mother was for all you did for her. You were so passionate for her and felt her pain. Mom believed in you which is why she said yes to your surgery. The compassion you showed her from the first day we met you in the office, I knew you would do whatever it would take to make her better! Your daily checking on her, watching over her was so amazing and appreciated. I guess it all boils down to THANK YOU!
Sincerely,

Vanessa XOXO

DR Missios is Very professional, Hears all your concerns and provides the best treatments. He should b everybody’s first choice when your in need of surgury. I was scared for my 1st surgury ever and he made me feel relaxed and comfortable to have the surgury done on my back.

Jeremy D

Dr. Missios was referred to me by Dr. Mayerson at St. Catherine’s and it proved to be a fantastic, successful referral! Dr. Missios spent a half hour explaining my medical condition to me and what needed to be done surgically. He even deferred to a skull base tumor surgeon Dr. Klironomos at South Shore University to lead the excision of my acoustic neuroma. On the day of my 12 hour surgery, Dr. Missios assisted Dr. Klironomos and was there in the OR with me. He is such an empathetic and intelligent doctor and competent surgeon. Highly recommend!

Bob S

Very happy with Dr. Missios’ care. He gives complete and understandable answers to any questions I have.

Dr. Missios is very personable and informative.

He is reassuring in his manner and attentiveness to you as a patient. I’m very happy that he was on call the day I was admitted to the Emergency Department at Good Samaritan.

Dr Missios is truly the most kind and compassionate doctor I have had the pleasure of going to. I was seen by him for neck pain and he was nothing short of patient with answering all my questions and concerns. He was thorough and spent an extended amount of time with me to make sure I left feeling comfortable. I would see him again for any of my neurosurgical needs.

Linda L

He’s a very excellent doctor.

Dorothy C

Dr Missios takes time to explain what to expect from the surgery, and explains in words that you can understand. He does not rush you as I find many Drs do.

My husband was in such severe pain that he could not lay down,

he could not walk, he could do nothing. After trying numerous procedures with PT, chiropractic, and pain management we went to see Dr Missios. He performed major surgery and it was a miracle. Within two weeks my husband was back to normal. We cannot thank him enough. Not only is Dr Missios an excellent surgeon but he has a wonderful bedside manner. He consistently demonstrates how much he cares. It has been less than two months since the surgery and my husband has no pain nor limitations. I would recommend Dr Missios to anyone experiencing back pain. Skip the pain management and the epidurals as that doesn’t cure, it only temporarily alleviates some pain but not for long, if at all.

I walked into the ER

upon an MRI scan found that I had a fairly large pituitary tumor that Dr. Missios removed for me. My wife and I are indebted to him he was very professional and recovering has been difficult, but it was to be expect. Thank you Dr Missios and your staff. You are amazing !

Dr. Missios is one of the best neurosurgeons I have ever met and I have met a lot being in the neurosciences medical field as a RN.

I had spine surgery about 2.5 years ago with Dr Missios after 25 years of debilitating lower back pain. I went to the ER on a Saturday night with the most severe lower back pain and not being able to urinate. I ended up with a Foley catheter and a STAT spine MRI. Radiology had to come from home to scan me because MRI isn’t open 24/7. I had a huge bulging disc sitting on the sciatic nerve. Dr Missios was the neurosurgeon on call for the weekend and he came in to operate on me that Sunday morning due to the fact that my bladder and bowels were being severely affected by the disc. I was extremely nervous, understandingly. Dr Missios treated me like a daughter. He was also in constant communication with my mom who was extremely concerned for me. Dr Missios’ PA’s were all great as well. The whole neurosurgery department bent over backwards for me the whole time I was at the hospital. I was completely satisfied with everything and I owe my life to that man. I had a lot of specific requests when it came to my after care and he happily obliged. I still suffer with some lower back pain but it is so much better and manageable, and I got my quality of life and happiness back. I recommend Dr Missios 100%. Thank you Dr Missios.
