Dr. John Michael Dempster, MD

Great people treat you with a lot of kindness

Dr. Dempster is an excellent caring doctor. So happy to have him.

I saw Dr. D. today in neurological reevaluation. As always, he is up-to-date on all current literature regarding my condition. We had a long discussion regarding treatment options, his preferences, and my thoughts on how to proceed. He is very knowledgeable with regard to drug interactions, and as is always the case, it is evident that he only wants what is in the best interest of his patient. I found him quite open-minded about some treatment options--and that is really what has lead to my trust and confidence in Dr. D. I am ever so much better under his wing.

Dr. Dempster has been treating me for the past 6-7 years for a chronic neurological problem that has required a great deal of medical expertise, patience, and a positive attitude. He is always up-to-date on the most recent medical advances for treating my condition. His concern and empathy are always shining through his white coat. I know that I am much better today than I was 7 years ago, due to the medications that Dr. D prescribes, and because of the trust I have in his medical treatment.

Been a frequent customer to neurologists in town for the past decade. Dempster and his staff are not perfect but a huge difference over vacouver neurology. Dempster is a good doctor overall. I am a patient that has many many seizures daily. The first things he did with me was establish EEG tests, something my last doctors should have done straight up. We have tried different medications, different doses etc to try to find the right mix. Overall a proactive doctor. He can have a bit of arrogant attitude at times but he knows what he is doing and gives positive results so I am a little forgiving on this part. Given other neurologists I've seen and heard of around here he is one of the better ones to see. The office staff are pretty good and they do not change office staff every visit your there. A REAL big decision in my changeover from prior neurologist clinic.

Nothing memorable, he has never done a follow-up with me and has no bedside manner whatsoever.

I was told that patients with epilepsy are depressed and this is the rule not the exception. He tried to offer depression medication w/out offering counseling first. I do not appreciate how he treats people.

Warm and friendly, in addition to being highly intelligent and taking an extraordinary amount of time, add up to a physician who is A+ and not commonly found these days. A rare gem of a man.
