Please Note: It is important that you recognize that the care and treatment of the neurosurgical patient is an ongoing process, one in which both the individual and family need to be involved before, during, and
(most importantly) after an operation.



Making an Informed Decision

If an operation is required, the procedure will be fully explained to you. All attempts at reducing surgical risks are emphasized and surgical therapy is undertaken only when there is documented informed consent and a level of comfort and confidence on the part of you and your family.

Understanding the Risks & Benefits

Dr. Herz considers patient education to be of foremost importance in providing smooth, integrated care for all of his patients. If you are a candidate for surgery, we will provide you with a variety of patient education material. We encourage you to read it thoroughly before making any decision about which treatment option is best for you.
