Saved my future!
I was misdiagnosed for 3+ years with everything from CVS to diverticulitis to smoking pot. I had uncontrollable vomiting aminf other symptoms. Several MRI's later I found Dr Liu. He saw my pituitary tumor growing to about 2.2cm, about 3x the size of the pituitary gland. He did surgery within 2 weeks and it was a great success. The entire tumor was gone and reconstruction went well. He gave me my life back! Thank you Dr Liu!

The Best Neurosurgeon
Dr Liu did a successful removal of my skull base meningioma at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in January 2023. I had an anterior petrous meningioma removed via retrosigmoid suprameatal approach. Postop had normal facial nerve and hearing function. Dr Liu is amazing. He is caring and unbelievably competent at what he does. He answered all my questions before my surgery and after my surgery also. I would highly recommend him if you need a neurosurgeon.

Pituitary Adenoma Surgery…Cushings Disease
2months into 32 I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor that caused me to have Cushings Disease. I gained weight, had mood swings, and was always tired just to name a few. I wasn’t myself. 4 months ago, the incredible Dr. Liu w the help of ENT Dr. Eloy completely removed the tumor while preserving the pituitary gland. They did this all through my nose! I can honestly say I feel like myself again. I’m Only 4 months out and  I’ve lost 15-20 pounds, I have tons of energy, and I’m more pleasant than ever. Thank you Dr. Liu and your amazing team for getting me through this, and doing it so well.

Wonderful and Caring Surgeon!
Dr. Liu and his team/colleagues removed a rare tumor called a paraganglioma (specifically a carotid body paraganglioma tumor) from my carotid artery on 11/11/22. The surgery went fantastically. For such a complicated, intricate, and delicate procedure, the team navigated it flawlessly. My recovery has been so much better than expected. Dr. Liu is an absolute expert with these types of rare tumors which is so helpful for correct guidance. Besides being an excellent surgeon based on technical skill, Dr. Liu also has wonderful bedside manner. He is always responsive, easy to reach, empathetic, and checks in consistently on his patients. We are so grateful for his help on my journey with my illness, he definitely made all the difference. Anyone looking for a consult should reach out! Thank you Dr. Liu!!!

Dr. James Liu: Outstanding Neurosurgeon and Hero.
At 24 years old, I was unfortunately diagnosed with a schwannoma tumor in the C2 spinal cord area (my neck). Words cannot describe how terrified I was. My tumor compressed my spinal cord which caused severe motor weakness. I am incredibly blessed to have met Dr. James Liu because he SAVED my life and will forever be my personal hero! He successfully and completely removed my large C2 spinal schwannoma at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. I can testify that post-op, his performance improved my motor function significantly and he preserved my spinal cord function! Furthermore, Dr. Liu is an exceptionally brilliant, skilled, and compassionate neurosurgeon! He is patient and considerate towards you. He always takes his time in explaining everything whilst making sure you’re comfortable. Throughout the whole journey, he remains reachable for any questions/concerns. He puts his patients first and foremost! He provides outstanding patient care. I am so grateful for him and recommend him!

The man that changed my life
He changed my life. I am a 35 year old ( female) with a prior Acoustic Neuroma on my right peripheral nerve 2.5 CM. I had gone to several doctors to get an opinion and most said it was inoperable. Well, that was not the case with him! I had a thorough conversation with him; he explained everything and I left the office feeling confident with life again, and he did an amazing job; the ringing in my ear went away, and ever since the surgery, I haven't experienced any major pain to the point that the last time I had an otc pain med or such was 4 months ago or so. I am happier than ever and I see improvements on a daily basis. Thank you Dr. god bless you!

Excellent Neurosurgeon
I am grateful to share my successful experience following the removal of a large pituitary adenoma compressing my optic chiasm resulting in vision loss. Dr. Liu at Saint Barnabas Medical Center/Rutgers Neurosurgery operated on me and postop evaluation showed complete removal. My vision improved immediately with preservation of the normal pituitary gland. Dr. Liu and his team were amazing. I am so grateful to them all.

Dr. James Liu-Excellent Brain Surgeon Great Skills
Dr. Liu is an amazing brain surgeon. He removed lesions from my brain. It was a six (6) hour surgery. I was in St. Barnabas Hospital Livingston, NJ for 4 days. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for his skillful talent. Not only did he remove all of the lesions successfully, but I am not experiencing any pain or scaring whatsoever. I followed all of the instructions that I was given and made sure that I took all of my medication as prescribed. I am now at home and taking it easy. I am also able to drive now. I make sure that I go outside for walks every day to keep my legs and body strong and in good shape. I was not put on a strict diet I made sure that I ate healthy meals. Dr Liu's staff was very friendly and always returned my calls. Dr. Liu listened and answered all of my questions. My appointments were never rushed. I was provided in home care nursing visits to make sure that I was maintaining good health practices and to make sure that I was well. Dr. Liu is Amazing.

Exceptional Surgeon
Dr. Liu is an amazing surgeon. He removed an acoustic neuroma from my brother’s brain, it was a 12 hour surgery. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for his talent. Not only did he remove the neuroma successfully, but there was no indication of any facial paralysis, which can be common after a surgery of this type. Dr. Liu uses a technique that preserves the facial nerves and everything turned out beautifully. I only have high praise for Dr. Liu and his skills.

Cranial CSF Leak Repair
I was diagnosed with a cerebral spinal fluid leak that required a craniotomy to fix the underlying issue. This was very unexpected and scary for me once I heard it required this type of surgery. From the first time I spoke with Dr. Liu I felt more at ease and knew I was in good hands. He made himself available for any questions or concerns I had leading up to the procedure. Dr. Liu performed a resection of skull base encephalocele of the temporal bone and repair of skull base defect and csf leak at Saint Barnabas Medical Center/Rutgers Neurosurgery. There was no leak recurrence and I retained normal facial nerve function after the procedure. Dr. Liu is caring and kind and goes above and beyond for his patients, I would highly recommend him to anyone in need. I consider myself very lucky to have had Dr. Liu in my corner.

Amazing Results!
Dr. Liu handled my case with care and compassion. I was diagnosed and referred from out of state for his ability to operate on tricky tumors. We traveled over 3 hours to have him operate on my intraventricular central neurocytoma (brain tumor). His results were phenomenal and our after care has been nothing short of amazing. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back!

4 Years and Going Strong
On June 1, 2018, I was admitted to University Hospital after what my mother described as the worst headache ever. I don’t remember that. What I do remember, is waking up two days later to find that I had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. I just want take a moment to praise the skills of Dr James Liu. Although I thank him at every annual check-up, I want to put my testimony in writing. From my understanding, my hemorrhage was in a tricky location. Dr. Liu’s flawless surgery resulted in NO side effects. I walked away healthier and stronger than before the surgery. His professionalism and genuine concern was comforting during my recovery. Dr. Liu is the inspiration behind me starting a virtual aneurysm support group to share my story and provide support for others impacted by aneurysms. Best neurosurgeon ever!
