I do not feel like my provider understood why I was there. [...]He did not listen to my explanation of anything I tried to tell him..at some point I realized he was just like my last Neurologist and I just stopped trying to talk to him and waited for the appointment to be over. It was extremely disappointing after waiting so long to see someone.

[...] The doctor really didn't understand [...] He didn't ask my if I had any questions, he actually got up and just left. My dad and I didn't even know the appointment had ended. We were so confused. I stopped the doctor on his way out the door and asked if we should be following him. He said checkout is that way and then talked to me from the hallway [...]

I felt worse after seeing the doctor. I didn't want him to see me cry, or see the pain he made me feel as if I was lying about my seizures and now my strokes. How do you fake either.

He may be a very good practitioner but I could not see beyond how absolutely detached he was. I had read the reviews on health grades and still decide to give him a chance I would never recommend this provider.
