I recently moved to AZ and this was my first appointment with Dr. Sanai. He made me feel quite comfortable and was very informative discussing my meningioma. My neurosurgeon in OR advised me to try to get follow-up appointments with Barrow Brain and Spine and I'm glad I did. Dr. Sanai will continue to be my "new" neurosurgeon.
