Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Cisse is a wonderful doctor

Wow, he was great.
Visiting a neurosurgeon means you have a serious issue, and want clarity, expertise, patience, kindness, someone you can talk to and trust. Dr. Cisse offered all of that, and more. He was gentle, clear, patient, understanding, knowledgable. He offered all the important information. Yet didn't overload with irrelevant information. And didn't need to show off his knowledge or bravura. Highly highly recommended.

Exceptional care. The appointment was scheduled almost overnight. The nurse and the doctor were truly involved in finding out the reason for the visit and all my medical history. Answered all my questions and concerns. Explained what treatment is the best option and what is involved with each treatment I choose. I would definitely recommend the team to anyone who would ask.

I highly recommend Dr. Cisse’ and his team. As I considered the prospect of surgery, one of the main things I sought in a surgeon was an empathetic person with whom I would have peace of mind knowing that while I am unconscious, under anesthesia, I have a caring person in control. I felt I found the ideal surgeon, the first time I spoke to Dr. Babacar Cisse’. His caring, knowledge, and professionalism comes across instantly, but most importantly I felt I was talking to a person who truly cares about his patients. Once it was decided to move forward with the procedure, Dr. Cisse’ and his team showed great expediency in coordinating all the required details in a record timeframe.

Extraordinary! He is a great Physician. The only one day appointment I had with him and he had the patience and kindness I always expected from a Doctor. He explained every single detail of my upcoming brain surgery, which I wasn't explained before with other neurosurgeons. He took his time to listen and answer all my questions and concerns and has his team keeping contact with me all the time. I highly recommend Dr. Cisse !
