Report
I was so thankful to get an immediate appointment with Raleigh Neurosurgical because the electric shocks in my forehead ramped up in the last 10 days. I had an appointment somewhere else but they were unable to give me an immediate appointment. There appointments were months away and they had no immediate appointments for people in severe pain. The Physician Assistant, Dana, at Raleigh Neurosurgical, was excellent in assessing me, giving me medication and ordering an MRI next week. I hope this treatment works!

Dr. Dana Johnson is wonderful, as is all of the doctors and staff. He was great in explaining my post op x-rays. He was very patient in answering all my questions and so kind. I feel very blessed to have been referred to Raleigh Neurosurgical Clinic for my care. I appreciate that I never have to wait at my appointments. I am always seen within a few minutes of my appointment time.

This was my first visit to Raleigh Neurological clinic. My husband and I were very impressed with the office staff. The PA, Dana Johnson, took his time explaining everything. Everyone was very friendly and answered any questions that we had.

Dr. Margraf is well known and respected in the hospital I work at, therefore I felt extremely comfortable choosing him for my cervical neck surgery. He made me feel very comfortable with the facts of my condition and why he felt surgery was needed. I had surgery while 22 weeks pregnant and wouldn't have done that if I didn't believe in him. I am now 6 months post op and feel like my normal self again, no pain. Highly recommend!

Dr. Johnson was a breath of fresh air! In all of my seventy years my wife and I have never felt more comfortable with our time spent with Dr. Johnson, he took his time to get to know us before we even started talking about our reason for the visit. We wish he was our general practitioner so we could see him more often.
