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. Krysanski is the best!
I just had my post op visit and was happy to tell Dr. K that my back pain which was a 10 is almost gone and that my weak left leg is getting much stronger. He is a wonderful caring doctor who spends time explaining everything. His NP’s Marianne and Kelly are also great. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have had Dr. K as my surgeon.

Phenomenal Dr & staff
The incredible caring & concern by Dr K as well as his NP's Marianne & Kelly is hard to find these days. He is the best & I have been to a few neurosurgeons for consults. Dr K stood head & shoulders above the rest with his bedside manner. He listened to everything I had to say, my concerns were addressed thoroughly. I have now had 7 surgeries with him & all have been successful. I will stay with his practice for as long as he will keep me as a patient. I have referred many family & friends to him & they feel the same way.

Excellent Neurosurgeon
Dr. Kryzanski provided a second opinion for my ACDF surgery, and from the moment I met him, I felt confident in his ability to perform the procedure. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the surgery and patiently answers all your questions, never making you feel rushed. Dr. Kryzanski is not only a compassionate and highly skilled surgeon but also has a down-to-earth demeanor that puts you at ease. MaryAnn and the rest of the staff are incredibly helpful and responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I face any future issues, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed either. I had tele visit and in office and I never felt rushed.

DR. JAMES KRYZANSKI
I have had (2) spinal surgeries with Dr. Kryzanski (2017 & 2024); both of which were extremely successful. He is very caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough. His excellent and conscientious care is carried over to all his staff that I interacted with as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kryzanski for anyone in need of Neurological surgery. I have the utmost confidence in him; I personally would not use anyone else! BG

I have had two neurosurgeries with Dr. Krysanski, and both have been successful. One was extremely complicated and I often explain it as, “He put Humpty Dumpty back together again”. He saved me from being a quad on a ventilator.

He shared the MRI view on the monitor with me and explained to me what could be the cause of my lower back pain. He showed me the small synovial cyst between L5 and S1, which was not even mentioned in the Tufts radiologist’s MRI report. My surgery was a success and I’m completely pain free.Al I can say he excelles in every aspect that a great physician should be.

Dr. Kryzanski is a great neurosurgeon!
Dr. Kryzanski did an excellent job on my cervical spine surgery. He went over MRI & clearly explained what was going on with my neck. Dr. Kryzanski took the time to answer any questions, discuss pros & cons, and helped me to understand what to expect after the surgery. I was very anxious right before the surgery and Dr. Kryzanski reassured me that it would be fine, making me feel more comfortable. I have the highest confidence in him and would not hesitate to go back to him if other issues arise with the rest of my spine. I highly recommend him. The staff in the recovery room and on the neurosurgery floor were great as well.
