Upstate Brain & Spine Center

If you need a neurosurgeon, you can stop looking! Dr. Hazama is not only an exceptional surgeon, his diagnosis was “spot on” when no one else knew what was causing my pain!
He was able to operate in a minimally invasive surgery! I was able to return to work after 2-1/2 weeks!
Dr. Hazama is the rare doctor who not only is a skilled surgeon, but listens to you during office visits and does not rush through them.
Dr. Hazama’s office support staff are warm and welcoming. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience!

Doctor Krishnamurthy is one of the most condescending, dismissive surgeons I have ever dealt with, and that's saying a lot. If you want to be medically gaslist, here's your guy! Any symptom that doesn't support his off-the-cuff diagnosis will be dismissed as "referred pain," including a slew of things that aren't pain at all, like numbness, edema, bladder dysfunction, muscle strains, swelling, a feeling of deep coldness, etc. Even my very neurodivergent partner who spent a lot of his time there playing on his phone noticed how condescending and dismissive this guy was. Also, my doctor sent a stat order referral, but he took months to schedule me, and then cancelled my appointment and rescheduled me for over a month later after that. I waited all that time to be told my brain was "crazy and confused- but subconsciously!"

Ive called 3 times in the last 2 weeks to set up my sons appointment that is time sensitive for his Plagiocephaly!! They never can set up a appointment they transfer me to all different people and then i get told ill call you back later today im on the phone now so why not talk to me now and schedule an appointment!!!! This is very time sensitive

My boyfriend injured his back and every single receptionist or doctor or whoever he talked to was so rude and zero help to him .They kept putting him on hold and not setting up an apt and a new person would pick up . That’s also putting my words very nicely because if you don’t like your job then maybe all of y’all should quit.
