Before the procedure. After.
Each row below shows the clinical reality on one side — the diagnosis, the complexity, the stakes — and what the patient says they got back on the other. Nothing edited.
Grade III vestibular schwannoma, 3.2cm, compressing the brainstem. Recommended for immediate surgical intervention.
"The morning I heard my grandson laugh again — really heard it, with both ears — I sat down in the kitchen and cried. Dr. Webb gave me that morning."Full hearing preservation. Returned to teaching piano at 11 weeks post-op.

"Four years of electric shocks every time I tried to eat. I had forgotten what a meal was supposed to feel like. Now I cook Sunday dinner for twelve."
Sphenoid wing meningioma, WHO Grade I, causing progressive visual field deficits and right-sided weakness.
"My daughter was getting married in October. Dr. Webb operated in June. I walked her down the aisle — and I drove myself home from the reception."Gross total resection. Driving resumed at 10 weeks. Full visual field restoration.

"They found it by accident on a routine scan. I went from terrified to having it explained to me like architecture — where the clip would go, exactly why. I trusted him before I left that first appointment."
Chiari I malformation with 12mm tonsillar herniation and associated syringomyelia. Posterior fossa decompression indicated.
"I spent two years being told it was anxiety. Dr. Webb looked at my MRI for thirty seconds and said — this is real, and I can fix it. He did."Syrinx resolved at 6-month MRI. Headaches eliminated. Returned to yoga at 14 weeks.

When a case requires microsurgical precision at the skull base, Dr. Webb is the only name on my referral list. His pre-operative planning is surgical literature in itself — I've seen him map a trajectory through 4mm of operative corridor without incident.

The outcomes data is not marketing — I've tracked it myself. My meningioma patients referred to Dr. Webb show measurably better functional preservation scores at 12 months than the national benchmark. That's the conversation I have with families.

I send my TN patients who've failed every pharmacological option. The MVD success rate coming out of Dr. Webb's OR is 94% durable relief at two years — that's not a number you find everywhere. My patients come back and say they feel like themselves again.
