If you want positive results, Dr Aferzon is your neurosurgeon. If your situation involves the spine or spinal cord, Dr Aferzon is your neurosurgeon. I switched from an orthopedic spine surgeon to Dr Aferzon because he is a neurosurgeon and knows, really knows, the neurological minefields that can accompany spine surgery. While Dr Aferzon is a neurosurgeon, he does not immediately recommend surgery, preferring instead to consider and discuss non-surgical options, which is appreciated and should always be discussed. Dr Aferzon... read more

This review is long overdue, but after two major lumbar surgeries in 2009 and 2010 and continued pain after a year post-op recovery, I went to Dr. Aferzon after seeing a couple other doctors for second opinions. He was the only doctor to diagnose what my problem was, that being my facet joint(s). The surgeon who did my fusion never once suggested having an injection there, nor did a couple others. It was Dr. Aferzon who got it right! Thank you Dr. Aferzon!

Dr Aferzon preformed (2) spinal fusions on me. One in 2016 and the XLIF was in March 2017. My spinal cord (dura) was directly cut, "accidentally" when opening me from the front. They repaired it, but my room filled with doctors at 2am, asking me if I knew where I was. Every time they stood me up, my heart rate skyrocketed. Aferzon cane in on his cell, smiled at me, then left. I COULDN’T feel my left foot! I ended up with foot drop, arachnoiditis and an abscess in my spine. He said he wasn't taking bone from my hip, but he di... read more

Dr Aferzon has done all 13 surgeries on my mother's back and has gone to bat for her on multiple occasions. The ladies in the office are amazing , beautiful people as well. He is #1 neurosurgeon in CT and #3 in the whole country. One of the few doctors who actually cares about their patients on a case to case matter. Because of him my mom is still able to walk even with all that metal in her. Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes they wear scrubs and a doctors coat lol. I also see a review on here where that lady trashed his ... read more
