Dr. Jonathan Francis Cahill, MD

I was diagnosed with MS last year and was sent to follow up with Dr Cahill after being discharged from the hospital. I was amazed by his thoroughness and attention to detail. He was not convinced that the MS diagnosis was accurate and wanted to verify it before recommending any treatment. I was impressed with his willingness to wait until things were definite. Unfortunately for me, a follow-up MRI showed issues that needed treatment. He was quick to respond, has always made me feel as if I matter, replies promptly to my calls and spend a great deal of time explaining things and answering my questions, even if they are the same questions I have already asked. I have dealt with many neurologists due to my complicated medical history, and am always grateful for him, his interns, and his staff.

My husband has been ill for several months when we first met Dr. Cahill. My husbands case was complex. Through Dr. Cahill's excellent listening skills and good bedside manner he ran a very specialized test. This test came back positive and gave us a diagnosis. A rare autoimmune disease called SREAT: Steroid-Responsive Encephalopathy with Associated Thyroiditis. I was losing my husband to "SREAT". Dr. Cahill put him on a steroid and within 24 hours I noticed he was more engaged and alert. My husband was coming back to me and it's all because of the knowledge and perseverance of Dr. Cahill. I can't put into words how extraordinary he is as a person and Medical Doctor. Thank you Dr. Cahill for saving Peter's life.

I have been seeing him for about 2 years. My diagnosis from 2 previous nero's has been MS. I didn't care for them either. He disagree's. I was in a severe relapse, I know my body, he does not. He felt I have a viral infection or such. Most times he DOES NOT even perform an exam but sits in front of computer. He is not up to speed on the patient sitting in front of him. Repeatedly asks you for your name. Though pleasant enough I dont' think he's the best fit for an MS patient with on going pain and issues, being easily dismissed as not being MS symptoms. I am on enough MS blogs to know what my pain is speaking with other MS patients. We are more informed than most docs out there. Just wish I could find a good fit with someone who listens, respects your thoughts and doesn't poo poo them away. Seems all these docs are into the double booking, rush appointments and $$$$ at the end of the day. Bedside manner & listening to a patient goes a long way. Conclusive MRI results can't be dismissed… as not being MS. My chronic pain, exhaustion, leg cramps, vertigo & the inability to fully walk at times. 10 years of this I am about to throw the towel in and say forget it to the quack doctors & the all the drugs they push. Happy, not so much.
