Faces and Voices

Read what our faculty and graduates have to say about what makes our programs excellent.

“The UB Neurosurgery program is one of the highest-volume residencies in the country, and, as trainees, we are fortunate enough to learn from leaders within each neurosurgery subspecialty while having access to the newest and latest technology.”

"The neurosurgery community at University at Buffalo Neurosurgery is extremely supportive, collaborative, and hardworking. Residency can be demanding, but having co-residents and faculty who genuinely support one another makes a tremendous difference."

Esteban Quiceno Restrepo, MD
Resident, Department of Neurosurgery
"We are all very close and often hang out outside of the hospital. When your entire cohort of residents is 21 people across all seven years, your program becomes more of a family than coworkers."
