Hospitals and Physicians
Posted by CityBlogCA on May 28th, 2007
When someone relocates they often seek information about physicians, specialists, hospitals and other types of health care, such as extended care. Is there a resource in Berkeley for health care information?

I’m writing to strongly recommend a neurosurgeon who has a Berkeley office.
Just a week ago I had cervical spinal surgery. It was fairly major surgery, requiring removing two disks, removing bone spurs and other arthritic growth on my vertebrae, replacing the disks with bone, and installing a titanium plate screwed into three vertebrae. I was in my hospital bed for fewer than 24 hours!
I can strongly recommend Dr. Jeffrey Randall as a neurosurgeon. I chose to have the operation at Eden Hospital, which has a new floor dedicated just to the Neurosciences Center. There are 14 private rooms with views, plus an unheard of 6 private ICU rooms. Just for that floor there is a staff of 60 and I felt extremely well cared for.
Dr. Randall is cheerful, relaxed, smiles easily and inspires confidence. I interviewed three neurosurgeons before choosing him, and he was the best at explaining my options and the possible outcomes. I actually looked forward to seeing him today for my return visit!
Perhaps the most surprising event was his calling me the Friday before a Monday surgery to see how I was feeling about having the procedure, and offering to answer questions. I give him five stars!
