I was scheduled 3 months out for me to see this neurology provider, very bad. However, when I saw her, I was very, very pleased with her. She is very proactive and appears to really care about the patient, and the patient's care. She was very highly recommended by the nurse there at the office. I was scheduled 2 months out to see the hand surgeon, and I was in a very, a lot of pain.
