December 19, 2006 I was diagnosed with a brain abscess located in the motor strip for my right side at the point that controls right foot function, in the left center of my brain. The edema that resulted from the abscess caused me to lose motor function on my right side, including my arm and hand. Dr. Tumu explained my options to me, and the risks involved in performing a craniotomy to remove the abscess. He performed the operation at Seton Medical Center on January 2nd, and I was transferred to St. David's Rehabilitation Center five days later. Things were much worse at first after surgery due to the trauma of brain surgery (something Dr. Tumu warned me of), but within two months I was driving and back to work full-time. I saw Dr. Tumu twice post-surgery. In every encounter with Dr. Tumu from December 19th on, he was confident, professional, friendly and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Tumu.
Pros: Skillfull, friendly, inspires confidence.
