  I’m blessed to be a patient in the hands of these amazing doctors. I suffered a ruptured avm in my brain & a ruptured brain aneurysm. I’m here today thanks to this awesome medical team.

  Dr Galvan is a wonderful neurosurgeon and great listener. His staff are helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend him over a pain specialist for a Spinal Cord Stimulator trial or implant.

  I am so grateful for Dr. Villarreal and his surgical team for performing my 3-Level ACDF surgery. I met Dr. Villarreal after consulting with two other Neurosurgeons about the pain that I've been experiencing for over 10 years, and I immediately sensed that he was the one. He was very patient with me, and I loved the fact that he was thorough in explaining all the different treatment options that were available to me prior to making the decision to have this surgery. Most importantly, his caring and compassionate disposition really won me over. In addition, I would also like to thank PA Hernandez, the office staff and the staff on the 2B Surgical Floor at Christus Santa Rosa Hospital (Alamo Heights) for the excellent patient care I received. I am on the road to recovery and can already feel a difference in the pain level. Thank you again Dr. Villarreal.

  Dr Villarreal is the greatest he explains everything on my level. I feel bad he has a country girl on his hands that has fallen out of hay barns, ran over by cows, fallen off of ladders twice out of boats, motorcycle wrecks. You name it I have not been good to my body. I had three other back doctors prior to him finally one day I realized I need a Neurologist and I typed in number one Neurologist in San Antonio and up came Dr Villarreal. He worked his butt off on my back cause I did not want surgery cause of family history. so last October it came down I needed surgery. Thank you Dr Villarreal for continuing to put up with me. You are the greatest.

  Dr. Villarreal and staff are world class. Made a very stressful situation feel easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. If you’re trying to decide who to see for your back problems, TNS is a no brainer!

  I wanted to thank Dr Sebastian Villareal for the excellent care he provided for me. Dr. Villarreal is very knowledgeable, broke down my MRI and X-rays one step at a time. He took the time in explaining every issue regarding my back. He was not like other physicians where your are only a chart number. I recommend him to anyone having Spine problems. He went above and beyond. Thank you Dr. Villarreal for my care and the excellent job on my husband’s neck. In my opinion he is the BEST Neuro Surgeon in San Antonio. DID I MENTION HE IS THE BEST?

  Dr Villarreal is a God-send! I have been suffering with neck pain for almost 15 years. My first visit with him was very good. He spend time with me going over all of my imaging and answered every single question I had without being rushed. He explained my surgical options, since I had already tried multiple conservative therapies several times. He showed me models of what he would be doing and just overall sweet, friendly, knowledgeable and understanding of my pain and feelings. This was my first surgery ever (and I’m 38 years old). So yes, there were many nerves involved. But I was so comfortable and felt completely safe with Dr V and his entire team.

  My surgery went great and as planned and I even woke up pain free from all the pain I'd had over 15 years.

  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr Villarreal for any of your spine needs. He is AMAZING! I'm so thankful for him for giving me a great quality of life back!
