I originally stated seeing Dr. Marsteller, once he was no longer practicing I begin seeing Dr. Ben-othmane. He's an excellent replacement. I wouldn't think of seeing another neurologist.

I have been a patient of Dr Ben-Othman for over 10 years and I am moving on. He does not care anymore. He is bored and it shows. He is not concerned wit his patients. He actually told us to ride out seizures and give them a call the next morning to just "let them know". Seriously? I stop breathing during seizures. Why not just drop him an e-mail? Not! Bye!!!

Dr Kamel Ben-Othmane is the very best in his field. I moved out of the area last year and I can honestly say he cannot be replaced. He has a wonderful demeanor, he cares about his patients, he truly went above and beyond for me...so from my heart Thank you Dr.

This man has helped me greatly. I had migraines when I was younger & I thought I had out grown them. In the last 10 years or so I started having headaches again & my husband plus my general practioner thought I needed to see someone, so my doctor arranged for me to see Dr. Ben-Othmane. He diagnosed me very quickly & thought I needed to start on oral medication & also Lidacaine injections at the base of the skull every 3 months. We have had to increase the oral medication several tmes to get to the right dosage. In my opinion Dr. Ben-Othmane truly seems to care about me & my concerns. He is always very attentive when I am talking and I feel very fortunate to have gotten in to see him and become one of his patients. I am very confident in his assesment of my condition. It is so nice to know that you don't have to live with migraines. It's very comforting to know that you have a doctor who really cares about you & about helping you. I think Dr. Ben-Othmane is one great doctor & one great… guy!
