I was first diagnosed at age 10 with migraines, suffering with a couple of the a month as I got older the fewer I had until 2020 when out of nowhere I started have migraines nearly daily, this is when I was sent to Dr. Wazni. He actually listened and started me on some different medication combinations which brought some relief but still left my life held hostage by the migraines. He brought up a procedure in the brain that could help stop the migraines all together. Obviously there’s no guarantee. But by this time I have 100% trust in Dr. Wazni. I had the procedure (arterial embolization) 1 week ago, I normally should have already had 2-4 migraines and I have had zero so far. I got teary eyed yesterday after reflecting on that. Also, I had a morning procedure there at the hospital, Dr. Wazni came to check on me in my room at 7-7:30pm and then again between 9:30-10pm that night! I was absolutely in awe in his dedication to us patients. Thank you so very much Dr. Wazni

I discovered by a eye exam that something was wrong in the back of my eyes. So my regular eye doctor sent me straight to the ER. There I found out by a cat scan that I had a brain aneurysm. I was terrified. I did a lot of investigating to find a brain vascular surgeon. All research showed that Dr Wazni at NeuroVascular Center was the candidate. His credentials are impeccable! Let me just say he is one of the very best doctors I’ve been involved with. He explains the test results found, what they mean, and what is the remedy quite clearly. He is warm, funny, and easy to talk to. After any procedure he or his staff check on me. But for me the most important piece was that he did not have to cut into my head. He uses the groin artery to insert the necessary tools and equipment to perform the surgery. A surgery that he invented. This makes less stress on brain, with a quicker recovery time. I am so blessed to have found him. I would say please do not hesitate to contact his office for an appointment should you need any type of brain procedure. Thank you so much Dr. Wazni and staff.

Dr. Wazni treated my Mom for a ruptured brain aneurysm and saved her life. She had follow up operations to treat 3 more aneurysms with Coils. He has been great for my mom and always follows up with her to make sure she is doing well after each operation. His staff at the Pasadena office is great and communicative. Stephanie always follows up with us to make sure my mom can get the care she needs. Dr. Wazni and his staff have made a scary experience easy and put us at ease.
