Dr. Justin Slavin's Online Review Report Card

Dr Slavin did surgery on me a few weeks ago. It was for a brain bleed that had unexpectedly gotten worse, almost an emergency. His work was excellent. My recovery has me virtually back to normal already. He visited me every day. Just had a post-op visit where he showed CAT scans and explained understandably why this won't happen to me again.

Pretended not to have seen all the MRI scans until we mentioned another condition, then pretended to see for the first time a neck problem and claimed that was causing balance issues instead of my father’s brain tumor. Rushed him into surgery that was less important than getting the tumor treated. Made false promises that if Dad had the surgery he’d be active. Instead Dad is bedbound and his neck in pain and twisted. A swallow test revealed he chokes when he eats because of scar tissue and hardware from the neck surgery sticking out and food catching on it. Slavin’s partner did the surgery since Slavin left for Boston before Dad got surgery (though he tried to rush it two days after we saw him, before he left town.), and the partner refused to say if the surgery was necessary or not, said he’s not allowed to say (at GBMC) But Slavin started all this. Even claimed Dad couldn’t get a biopsy unless he had neck surgery, then admitted after prodding that that wasn’t true. Salesman.

My experience was great with Dr. Slavin. I had three surgeries and he was great with all three. He answered my questions, explained the procedures ahead of time, he checked on me every day while I was in the hospital. He always answers my calls when a problem arises. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good neurosurgeon. He always listens to my concerns.
