Dr Magill is a fabulous neurosurgeon! He is kind and caring during such a difficult time in a patient’s life and answers all of your questions and concerns. He successfully performed my surgery to remove a brain tumor that was wrapped around an artery in my brain. He is a wonderful neurosurgeon!

Felt that Dr Magill and his PA really took the time to ask questions and get to know me. Dr Magill was very thorough in explaining to me what my options were. After my surgery I hope to give a 10!

He came across as a really great individual and I would trust him to operate. I did not choose him because another surgeon had already operated on me twice and I feel I should stay with surgeon who has been successful in past. I would recommend Dr Magill to others needing brain surgery.

Dr. Magill shows interest and concern for his patients. He is very qualified and makes sure the patient understands the picture on the disk. He is not in a rush to be done and he does not dismiss questions at all. I have respect for NM for taking on the best doctors with a calm and pleasant demeanor as well.

He spent a lot of time with my husband and me going over my MRI which was very helpful and informative. Since my tumor returned after I had surgery 26 years ago I had never had such explanation. I can’t tell you how wonderful I felt afterwords with the respect and concern he had for me. Thank you Dr Magill

Dr Magill was brilliant! He went through my case step by step, and asked pertinent questions and let me speak about how I was experiencing my symptoms. He went through my MRI slides and explained them. He discussed treatment options and his recommendation and discussed risks of each option. He was kind and patient and caring. Clearly a top doctor and I am grateful he will be doing my brain tumor surgery.

He was very calm and thorough, explaining what was going on in there and what our options are. I feel confident moving ahead with Dr. Magill as my neurosurgeon and am a lot less fearful of what comes next. His RN is amazingly sweet as well - I feel like I will absolutely be taken care of by their team in the weeks and months to come.
