"I had my first post surgical appointment with Dr. Halamandaris on Dec.14th and I was able to walk unassisted. For me that is a great achievement, having in mind that I spent the last almost 11 months in 24/7 pain. The surgery Dr. Halamandaris performed literally gave me back my health and freedom of movement. Thank you for your dedication to excellence, compassion and care for your patients. "

"Dr. Halamandaris is a highly respected local neurosurgeon on the Monterey Peninsula. I recently underwent back surgery for a compressed vertebrae. What's notable is his skillful patient interaction that addressed even the most mundane of my pre- and post-operation questions that I bombarded him with. He treated me with respect and, when necessary, humor. "
