Worst doctor I've ever seen. Pretty much said that since my MRI's are normal that I'm fine and should just ignore my symptoms. Also discredits what other medical professionals have told me. Absolute god complex

The absolute worse experience I have ever had with a Dr. cold and spoke to me like I was an idiot. When I called her on it she stormed out of the examination room.

I grew up in a hospital, and went to school to be a psychologist-I studied neuropsychology clinically. The doctor demanded to know why I wasted her time, pre exam. The reviews are uneven at best, but cold, rude, and odd are good descriptions.

This was my husband first and last appointment with this doctor. Dr Hillen was rude, very concern about how many minutes the appointment was to last. Very cold and wanted to take my husband from medications that has been helping him immensely thanks to his great previous doctors. This doctor not even did the routine neurological exam protocol and wanted to "dispose" my husband as a lost case. So sad the MS Neurology Center has felt in wrong hands. The previous team Dr Kamin, Jim Quinles and Paola Casper retired and this was our first visit with Dr Hillen, never in my life I would recommend this doctor to any person not my worst enemy.

Dr. Hillen did a great job caring for my husband during a very stressful episode while we were visiting out of town . She was very thorough and professional. As a physician myself, I recommend her highly.

I deal with doctors every day. She was the one who I did not know but only one who cared and diagnose me. She helped me to get better and she helped me to find care that I needed. She is the best, caring neurologist that i know (i know more then 10 of them). Love her!!
