• Dr. Golby and her Fellow were deeply sensitive in our discussion regarding my condition and further testing options. She was thorough in explaining my condition and the possibilities for the placement of a shunt if I qualify. We were given printed materials re NPH and the procedure to place the shunt. She and her entire team are very committed to providing brilliant medical care and emotional comfort with no rush or shuffle. We are looking forward to scheduling the large volume Lumbar Puncture diagnostic and moving to the surgical next step in this challenging journey with Dr. Golby and her team. We couldn't be in a better place..
