Above and beyond in all regards!
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Very informative.
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Erica told me that Dr. Halpern would be in shortly. I waited over one hour before he saw me I called the clinic. When they answered, the person said they were looking at my file and MRI. I question why they hadn't looked at it earlier.
SHC Patient, Aug 2019
Great doctor, very patient, clear, and thoughtful.
SHC Patient, Jul 2019

SHC Patient, Aug 2018
Dr. Halpern was very informative. I didn't feel rushed as he listened and took his time 100%.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
I have been referred neurosurgeon and Dr. Halpern, hands down has had kindest, best manner of any I've ever met. Very easy to talk to.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Whatever questions we had were answered.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
It has been next to impossible to contact the care provider or his team to address problems following surgery. The care provider and his team seldom responded to messages and brushed off concerns and serious issues that arose. I have never been less happy with the support and concern shown when things went badly after surgery. It is shameful.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Everyone talked to us and made sure we felt we understood.
SHC Patient, Dec 2017
Already have recommended this surgeon!

SHC Patient, Aug 2017
I had more time to talk about my treatment for surgery and therapy.
SHC Patient, Jul 2017
High level treatment.
SHC Patient, Jul 2017
Dr. Halpern was nothing short of wonderful. He was extremely kind, knowledgeable, understanding, etc. I trust him to give me accurate and compassionate information.
SHC Patient, Jun 2017
I wish there would be more professionals like Dr. Halpern at Stanford Hospital, compassionate and humane towards patients who are in horrible chronic pain like myself. I wish there would be other patients like Dr. Halpern willing to take any case no matter how complicated it is, and not like other doctors who are just cherry pickers "taking only easy cases."
SHC Patient, May 2017
Dr. Halpern's first attempt to place wires of spinal cord stimulator was unsuccessful. His second attempt was only partially successful. I still have an unexplained puffiness on the spine.
SHC Patient, Apr 2017
Dr. Halpern was brilliant, insightful at identifying alternative diagnoses of my problems that other doctors had not considered. He did a great job of explaining his theories and solutions to us.
SHC Patient, Feb 2017
Very good and helpful.

SHC Patient, Oct 2016
Very professional.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
My experience both with Dr. Qian, Dr. Prasad, and Dr. Halpern were all incredibly helpful. I felt they all provided as much time as possible to me and made me feel better about my condition and potential ways of dealing with the issue.

/dr. Halpern is a young, brilliant doctor, who, in my opinion, will have an outstanding career in medicine.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Dr. Halpern is the best doctor I've seen in years! He spent more time with me than I expected. He explained my condition in great detail and showed me how he proposes to correct it, should I choose surgery in the future. He also explained the various spinal cord stimulators with me and suggested how to go about evaluating the options. The follow-up response after the visit was immediate.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Doctor Halpern is great!
SHC Patient, Sep 2015
Thorough and insightful review/analysis.
SHC Patient, Sep 2015
Dr Halpern really cared about my situation during the visit and took the time to get to know me and I could tell he was very interestered in my medical history before the visit. he even addressed emails I had beforehand visit so he was more prepared
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
I liked the care provider sharing some of his thoughts about his options approaching surgery. I understood that he had been thinking about my particular brain and the variety of choices he could make for the best results. I certainly felt I was seen as an individual by a skilled surgeon interested in more than the expected details of doing the surgery.

SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Erica told me that Dr. Halpern would be in shortly. I waited over one hour before he saw me I called the clinic. When they answered, the person said they were looking at my file and MRI. I question why they hadn't looked at it earlier.
