Having Mcardles and being a patient of his....amazing doctor with great expertise! 20 years later, I chose not to go to med school... Vikki Palermo, RN (all because he told me I could be whatever I wanted to be). For me, he said 8 oz of cola/Oj.....changed my life! ?? Always!

After two years of being a guinea pig for various neurologists, we ended up at UAB. Dr. Oh did a nerve biopsy and was able to make an accurate diagnosis. We had a 2-hour drive home and his office had already called us back and left a message by the time we arrived home - we weren't left wondering and waiting for days or weeks. His bedside manner was great - he explained everything in detail and with a bit of humor mixed in here and there. I highly recommend this doctor if you have a neurological illness that has baffled other doctors... Dr. Oh will figure it out and get you on the road to the right treatments.

After seeing many doctors in South Alabama, and not getting any answers, I was told about Dr. Oh and I am happy I saw him.He diagnosed me, which I looked up on the internet and it described my symptoms exactly.Why didn't the other doctors know.
