After reading the reviews, I was worried but he was recommended by a friend. He took the time to listen to my health concerns and helped with medication changes. He was patient and kind. I have no idea why anyone would give him less than five stars.

Great neurologist. Listened to everything I had to say. Didn't interrupt, or brush off my concern. Would recommend him to anyone. Very sad he moved so far away

Came to see my mom in the hospital. Demanded her to poop in the sink to determine her mental state. When she refused he pulled up his shirt and sang john Jacob Jingleheimershmidt. We called security and found out he was on an acid trip.

Very disappointed in his staff and the Dr. himself. They have poor care and service. I have been told by him that my condition is not his fault then he left the room. He contradicts his diagnosis regularly and does not follow up properly with my tests that are needed or medications.

Rude and brusque--didn't want to answer even simple questions. Would NEVER go back to this doctor. My mother taught me not to swear in public or I would give my honest opinion.

Very rude Doctor. He got very aggressive in an angry way when we asked questions. The patient is dealing with a bad diagnosis and he was very rude and uncaring. He just threw up his hands at our questions and waked away.
