Not happy with her recommendations. I had to go for a second opinion which differed and was more promising and healing.

Not friendly at all. Horrible bedside manner. I felt like I was being harshly interrogated. Very combative. No clue why someone like this is performing EMGs, a very painful procedure. The nurses were very nice.

she deserves no stars, she has poor bedside manners, shes not friendly and does not care for patients, especially if your not caucasian. she walk in my exam room with a long scary unfriendly face. this is not what a patient wants to see first thing in the morning. what a waste of insurance money and my time.

Unfortunately we have seen many Neurologist over the years. Fortunately we were refereed to Dr Chisholm . She’s just waay ahead of the curve on every level. , incredibly smart . Strong communicator as well as listener ,. Has a calming presence about her, someone you would want to be friends with.

Is there anything worse than a doctor who flips back-and-forth between enjoying your medical problems and being bored stupid by them?

She is kind of rude towards you and makes you feel uncomfortable and stupid. The nurses are nice though.

At first i was taken back on how young she looks. Yet compared to past Neurologists we have seen over these past 18 months Dr Chisholm is brilliant. My family and i have complete faith in her.

I find Dr. Chisholm to be very attentive to my needs. She listens to my concerns and spends as much time as needed to answer my questions.
