Excellent Neurosurgeon
Dr. Waltzman performed life saving emergency surgery on my mother who had a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2017. She spent a few weeks in the ICU and then a few weeks in rehab. She came out fully functioning. She has since been seeing him for follow ups. He performed a second surgery when he discovered an unruptured aneurysm. It is visible he is excellent in his craft and extremely knowledgeable. He implanted a coil he thought would be best for my mother (with her consent), but was still pending FDA approval. Lo and behold it received FDA approval since. He takes his time and patiently listens to my mother’s every concern. He also thoroughly reviews test results and her medications list. My mother and I have full faith in him. We are very grateful to him for his work.

I have been under Dr. Walzman’s care for over 1 year due to brain aneurysms. He is a skilled neurosurgeon who explains things in lay-man’s terms. He has performed multiple procedures on me including stenting, coiling & angiograms. I would trust my brain to no one else but him. He is simply the best!

Just had my one year follow up for an emergency surgery to repair a dissected carotid artery that could have easily left me with overwhelming paralysis or the worst case scenario would have been a meeting with the grim reaper. Fortunately for me Dr Walzman came to my rescue and repaired the damage with a couple of stents behind and above my left ear. Everything looked good on the scan this week and my medications were adjusted to just one full strength aspirin a day. All of my interactions with Dr Walzman - from speaking to him while awake during the surgery, to my follow up exams in his office , to this one year checkup - were handled with the utmost professionalism by someone with the best medical credentials I have ever seen. I am so happy to have met this brilliant surgeon and consider myself very fortunate to have had this repair done by him. His wry sense of humor is great too. Additionally, all the staff and assistants I interacted with at NJ Brain and Spine are really wonderful

Dr. Walzam sent my sister back to our family/lives after she'd had a SAH, which could be highly fatal. I stayed with her through the ER visit, surgery, and subsequent follow-ups. and Dr. Walzman was absolutely wonderful. He was very thorough, friendly, and patient. He took his time to answer all our questions making us feel very comfortable and assured at the same time. Great doctor!!

Dr. Walzman is a life saver! I have unconditional and complete confidence in his medical expertise and surgical abilities. He performed 3 surgeries on me: aneurysm clipping 2011; pipeline embolizations 2017-1 - each, a success! Dr. W. is a brilliant, no-nonsense surgeon who provides his patients with the best treatment possible. He has always made me feel comfortable and confident, even in light of unfortunate test results. I would not entrust my brain tissue in anyone else's hands but his :-)

Dr.Walzman saved my son's life. My son was 10 years old and had a stroke due to an AVM which caused a bleed in the left temporal lobe. He was also diagnosed with two brain aneurysms, and a hematoma. He had multiple angiograms. Then he had gamma knife surgery, embolizations, and radiation of the AVM all between 2011-2013. Dr.Walzman is a gifted surgeon, kind, conscientious, and I will be forever grateful to him. My son had another angiogram in August of 2016 and the AVM is gone ! Michelle Risquet

Simply put, Dr. Walzman saved my life. Dr. Walzman is a gifted surgeon. Against all odds, Dr. Walzman saved my life by performing a successful six and one half hour brain surgery on me. He has a wonderful bedside manner. He was always honest to me & my family. He portrayed a confidence that was very reassuring. Dr. Walzman would answer every question & spend whatever time needed. No bull from him. I could take his answers to the bank. I cannot overstate the high regard I put Dr. Walzman in.

I was in a very critical condition with bleeding into my brain. I am a nurse and knew this could mean death. When Dr. Walzman said "I will take care of you" I immediately believed him and knew I would be Dr. Walzman took rapid action to save my life, after my emergent procedure I came to discover that very few neurosurgeons have his particular skills and I was very lucky. Dr. Walzman is not only a skilled surgeon, he is compassionate, realistic, and makes you feel comfortable and confident.

I was an emergency case in 2014. I have had aneurysm rupture, repaired by Dr Walzman. Six months later Dr Walzman repaired another aneurysm with a stent. I have seen him many times at the hospital, and his office. He was professional, caring, efficient, explained everything to me and answered every question. Sometimes he has emergencies and appointments had to be changed. Speaking as one, I am forever grateful someone else's appointment got changed. The nature of his job! He's the best there is!
