From the moment I met him I knew Dr. Chaparro was the right neurosurgeon for me. He spent 1.5 hours with me at my first appointment - going over every film and scan in detail so I would know exactly where and what my issues were. I'm now 6 weeks completed from my combined Cervical Anterior/Posterior Surgery and I'm not only pleased with my results but so grateful to Dr. Chaparro for his caring and down-to-earth manner. It meant the world!

From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Chaparro could not have gone smoother. His office staff got my appointment scheduled earlier than expected. Dr. Chaparro reviewed my MRI disc and showed me what needed to be done (2 level ACDF) then Michelle in the front office scheduled my surgery date and explained what I needed to do prior to surgery (covid test, preop, clearance from primary doctor, etc). Everything happened in order and without a hiccup! I had no issues with pain, swallowing or hoarseness post-op. The neck br... read more

DO NOT GO!

Please, if you want knowledgeable health information and guidance, DO NOT go to this provider. I was misdiagnosed by her. I ended up going to Buffalo to be correctly diagnosed. I dread thinking about the time I wasted with her and how my outcome is hindered because of her misdiagnosis. Please see a real DOCTOR!

I had a really terrible experience with this practice and would strongly recommend against them as healthcare providers. In short: ~PCOS diagnosis over the phone with a nurse while it was clear I was driving! No explanations about my diagnosis, no discussion of options, no request for a follow-up visit, no advice, nothing. ~They leave pap smear test equipment sitting out in the open air in exam rooms for waiting patients to contemplate and cough on. ~The doctor had me change clothes before speaking with me, so I had to sit b... read more

I went to Dr. Sawar on a recommendation from my physician. I arrived 30 minutes early to my appointment and then when my appointment came up I had to wait an hour before he would see me. Once I was in his office he asked me several questions and acted like he had better things to do than talk to me. He then told me to call my doctor so he could ask him several questions. Very unprofessional. His staff is friendly and polite, but I would not recommend him to anyone.

I’ve been in constant pain for 14 years. I’d rather die than put my life into his hands. Failed from get go + he knew it. After 1 week he wanted nothing more to do with me. 43 days in hospital. Screamed at me when I asked about malpractice ins. Got staff infection of blood. Last year incision reopened. Have strep infection cant get rid of. Screws are loose. Surgery is again suggested but I’d rather die than go through that pain again. Insensitive, uncaring and overcharged me $23k cash. 8 months to get it returned. Had to get... read more

Our experience with Dr Chaparro and his staff Michelle and Jani made us feel warm, welcomed and more than just a patient. The ladies are so friendly, kind and happy to help. Dr Chaparro spent over an hour with us explaining what has been going on with my 3yo and things finally started to made sense. He even brought out a book with pictures to educate us. Which i really appreciated. The surgery went exactly as he said it would and at 4 weeks post-op we are already seeing improvements. He is a very kind, passionate, confident ... read more
