    How was your appointment with Dr. Shafizadeh?

    Jan 18, 2023
    My family and I affectionately call him Dr. Save the Day. Also, It’s a tad easier to say than Shafizadeh! He was professional and patient with me every moment. He explains things so well. I had a large meningioma removed from my frontal lobe 8 weeks ago. I feel better than I have in 5 years. I’ll always be grateful to him and his staff. Everyone that works there was so good to me. Especially Larolin!! The hospital staff was excellent from beginning to end. I’m thankful for the Arkansas Neurology Institute, and Dr. Shafizadeh’s skills and attitude. The world is a better place with him in it. And I’m thankful to my friend Lou Ann Cushman for helping me find the best surgeon I’ve ever known.
