Dr. Doran is an outstanding neurosurgeon. He saved the life of my mom by performing an emergency surgery to remove a 4.5 cm brain tumor. Once the tumor was discovered, we met with Dr. Doran for the first time. He showed us MRI images of the tumor and explained to us that given the size of the tumor, it had to be removed surgically. He was very attentive and answered all of our questions clearly. Given the size of the tumor, it's location and the fact that it was attached to the brain, it was expected that my mom would have at least temporary if not permanent speach problems and right side weakness. Thanks to Dr. Doran and all the surgical team including an excellent anesthesiologist, the surgery went very well. My mom didn't need any blood transfusion and she woke up shortly after the surgery speaking and moving her limps with no difficulty. During her 3-day stay at the hospital, Dr. Doran came to check on her every morning, he answered all of our questions and made sure all his instructions to the nurses were followed. He is a true HERO and we are forever grateful to him. Omaha is blessed to have an amazing neurosurgeon. He deserves 10 stars out of 5 for his performance and for being an amazing human being. In fact, several medical professionals spoke highly of his work ethics and skills throughout our journey, and that is a testimony of his reputation in the medical field. It has been 16 days since the surgery and my mom is doing great (no infection, swelling or pain). All the symptoms she experienced prior to the surgery have vanished. Now, we have our mom back, a woman full of energy and laughter thanks to her primary care physician Dr. Eyad Kakish who ordered the MRI, her neurosurgeon Dr. Doran and all the medical professionals who were involved in her care.
