Kai-Ming Fu, M.D., Ph.D. — Local services in New York

Dr Kai Ming Fu has treated myself and my wife for spinal issues. Me for an auto accident that caused a compression fracture of my thoracic spine and I lost feeling in my right hand. I have spinal issues so as Dr Fu told me we are going to be on a life long relationship. He is not looking to operate, he wants to use the the least invasive methods first as part of the team at Weill Cornell Brain and spine. Dr Fu avails all on this multidisciplinary team to work with him. Recently I was diagnosed with a meningioma in my cranium. Dr Fu told me he does this operation BUT he sent me immediately to Dr Schwartz a pioneer in this field. Dr Kai Ming fu has treated and always will treat me and my wife as his family. He said to me recently I’d send my family to Dr Schwartz. Now for my spine it’s Dr Fu. He once operated on my wife with an abnormal spine and within a day she was walking and regained the feeling in her hands. Astounding indeed. Dr Fu is part of Weill Cornell Brain and spine that world news reports as the third best performing hospital in the fields of neurological disorders as well as neurological surgery every year. Keep in mind it’s the doctors who perform miracles constantly who attain the hospitals ratings. Dr Fu is at the top of his field, in fact not my opinion. His outcomes are what speaks louder than my review ever will. I grew up in new york Now living in Pennsylvania I never even consider another hospital. I highly recommend Dr Kai Ming Fu as he is personable and most important at the top of his field. Always using colleagues to further treat your multidisciplinary issues at Weill Cornell Brain and Spine. I must end with his assistant ANA Forman is another dedicated Educated person with a long list of her training and accomplishments is the best anyone can avail themselves of. I could go on and on but I won’t my hands hurt I highly recommend Dr Kai Ming Fu Md PhD, oh yes I have been with Dr Fu for going on 11 years now both my wife and myself. The...

I had been diagnosed with having Cervical Spinal Stenosis by my Neurologist. he referred me to have my Spinal surgery done by Dr. Fu. he said that he is one of the best Neurosurgeons that he knew of to treat this condition.when I met Dr. Fu for my consultation he was very nice, and carefully explained all of the details involved with my surgery. later that week, after I had my surgery I was in the recovery room and took a short nap.after I woke up, I suddenly noticed that I couldn't move my right hand or arm. at which point I was absolutely terrified. I told a Nurse what had happened and within minutes, Dr. Fu and his medical team appeared and very quickly rushed me into an MRI and then back into the operating room for surgery after it was found on the MRI that I had a blood clot known as an Epidural Hematoma, something that from what I have read is a very rare condition after spinal surgery. to make a long story short, Dr. Fu and his medical team evacuated or rather removed the Epidural Hematoma during a second surgery. they probably saved my life based on what I've read in a variety of medical studies and journals online about this condition and the potential of it being fatal.

Words escape me to fully describe how very sincerely thankful I am and will always be for the rest of my life for what Dr. Fu and his medical team did for me that day.

I want to also very, sincerely say thank you to all of the Nurses and all of the other medical professionals and other staff members at Weill Cornell, who took very good care of me during my stay in the Hospital and helped me in my...

My overall experience with Weill Cornell Brain and Spine and Dr. Kai-Ming Fu has been exceptional! From the first office visit to discuss my spinal issues, reviewing the recommended procedure ( spinal fusion ), to the surgery itself met all my expectations. Dr. Fu’s office and support team handled all of my paperwork, addressed all my concerns in a timely and very professional manner. My experience with NY Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center was excellent. The pre-surgical process the day of surgery was efficient and the medical staff were friendly and informative. My surgery by Dr. Fu went smoothly as anticipated and I was symptom free directly afterwards. His surgical team monitored my recovery and pain levels to make me as comfortable as possible during my 3 day stay in the hospital. My recovery at home went smoothly under his staff’s guidance and I am now back at work and enjoying life once more. I cannot say enough about my positive experience. I would recommend Dr. Fu at Weill Cornell Brain and Spine if you have a spinal issue. They also have Spine Time on the web to help answer many questions that patients have. I recommend...
