Dr. Trevor Jay Squire, DO

So you judge a Dr by the staff he picks, there was a condescending, rude & unprofessional woman at the front desk named Paulie. Then his MA Roxy talked over me, condescending to the core & did not listen to anything I said. How would you feel? Would you go back?

Dr. Squire is a caring, discerning Neurologist. He works with my other doctors to make a winning team. He is knowledgeable on all the newest treatments and goes to great lengths to help you. His treatment plan has made a big difference in my life.

Amazing doctor!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Squire since 2015. After so many doctors turning me away, he was the first specialist to really listen and fully assess my symptoms. It wasn’t an easy diagnosis, but he stuck with me. I have a degenerative neurological disorder and suffer from chronic migraines. He and his staff are always so understanding and work with my insurance company for pre-approvals and disability. I see him every 3 months, and he always takes the time to talk with me and review how I’m feeling and how my disease is progressing. He’s super intelligent and diligent when it comes to treating my symptoms with the most innovative practices and procedures. He is my favorite doctor because I feel like he really sees me and “gets” what I’m going through. I know he is a man of integrity, and that alone puts my mind at ease. My husband, who is my main caretaker, sets a very high bar for the standard of care that he expects for me and he fully entrusts my care to Trevor Squire.

I have been seeing Dr. Squire for almost 6 years now. He is friendly, listens to what you have to say, and answers any questions you may have. I haven’t been happier since I started seeing him. I don’t see myself looking for a different neurologist unless I leave the area.

I went on a medical journey that lasted 8 years before I found a team that help me fight my chronic illness. Dr. Trevor Squire’s is one of those important members of my medical team. I was referred to him by one of the best Neuro Ophthalmologist’s in the western United States. I have seen my share of bad doctors especially neurologists, he is not one of them. Dr. Squire’s is a listener, I’ve never had him interrupt me, not once in the four years I have been seeing him. He treats the entire body and mind therefore he is open to alternative routes if that is what is best for me. He advocates heavily on mental health which is important because people with Chronic Illnesses like mine must be seeing mental health professionals also or else their past trauma and current stress can bring up symptoms. That said he can doesn’t blame everything on mental health issues like some neurologists in my past have done and is willing to search and treat the physiological issues also. He isn’t arrogant,… he doesn’t mind admitting when he is wrong. He makes you feel like you are a team and that he will fight for your quality of life. I live with constant extreme pain and muscle spasms daily along with a heart with a mind of it’s own. Yet my episodic ataxic episodes have improved since seeing him and my migraines have been cut down about 80%. My Cardiologist also reports a significant improvement in the amount of rate drops I’ve experienced. I was able to graduate college, I’m employed full time in my dream job, and enjoy a life worth living because he is part of my medical team of wonderful professionals. My medical team is large, (7 professionals) but he is probably one of the most pivotal members.

I have been seeing Dr. Squire for about three years. He has shown concern for my health and his treatment has given me the relief of pain I need.

My husband has been a patient of Dr. Squire for the last four years. His disease is progressing. Through this whole process Dr. Squire has given us the help and information we have needed. He listens attentively and then provides us help with medications and therapy and also the knowledge we need to manage the symptoms. Dr. Squire shows compassion but is always forthright and up front regarding the progression of the disease.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1976 when I lived in Washington State. I have been treated for this disease by other Neurologists, but have not received the care that I do now. Dr Squire is by far the most conscientious, and caring person/care provider that has cared for me. I would be crushed if he ever moved, and could not give me the excellent care that he does. Good job Dr Squire, you are so appreciated !!!!!!!!!

I left a review on another site a year after seeing Dr. Squire. I waited to assure it was as clear and professional as possible. I also left it under a pseudonym. We gave Dr. Squire more than enough time to rectify his errors in my medical notes, and it's unfortunate I must do this on a public site. However, I would be remiss if I didn't inform other potential patients suffering with DIMDs. Dr. Trevor Squire was the third neurologist I consulted in a 12-month period in 2017, when medications gave me a cluster of drug-induced neurological movement disorders. The first neurologist was in the ER, the second, a specialist in another city. I had to wait 9 months for an appointment with Squire. It was technically a "second opinion" appointment; not because my appointment with the other neurologist wasn't solid or I felt she didn't do a thorough, good job, but because I hoped to get another "set of eyes" on one particularly distressing and debilitating condition: acute, tardive… akathisia. In fact, this is why we went to see neurologists at the behest of two other doctors who were not neurologists. Dr. Squire's assessment of me concluded with him completely deferring to the first neurologist in everything she'd written in her notes: confirming I indeed had tardive akathisia and dystonia. However, the other neurologist left out what she told us verbally: my gait disturbance was also an indication of tardive dyskinesia, another DIMD. Dr. Trevor Squire was in no position to give a medical opinion, nor mental health assessment, based on his clinical conduct and his own admission in my clinical notes. Yet he proceeded to do both. In my chart, despite his profession that he was not qualified to make such an assessment, he obsessively reiterated that he believed I needed to be evaluated by a mental health professional. He repeated the sentiment four times in his clinical notes. Dr. Squire knew I’d not only been in therapy for a long time, I was in therapy at the time of my visit with him. In fact, I am still seeing a counselor, mostly to help me cope with the life-altering conditions that have wreaked havoc on not only me, my health, my career, but my entire family. He led with the diagnosis of "Conversion Disorder." This, after doing nothing to confirm, nor rule it out. We have challenged Squire’s diagnosis officially in my chart based on the very criteria used by most, if not all physicians when making that diagnosis: criteria and burdens of proof Dr. Squire did not come close to meeting in our appointment. He did no neurological tests to either confirm, nor rule out "Conversion Disorder," the outdated term for FNS. The man didn't touch me, save to shake my hand. My husband and I found attitude both arrogant and dismissive. His ignorance of the extreme suicidality that comes with drug-induced akathisia was astonishing. Someone without my resources and knowledge who goes to see him could very well walk out of there as I did, only they might not know how misinformed he is. Again, I would be remiss in my duty as a human being to not make public his attitude toward DIMDs as well as mental illness, and his cavalier, dismissive attitude toward someone in extreme pain. Since he has refused my attorney's request to update and/or correct my chart, his inaction has forced my hand and this unfortunate recourse is, I feel, necessary. We wanted to keep the issue with him "in-house." I had no desire to publicly "out" his behavior and didn't want to besmirch him needlessly. Our hope with the letters of complaint to him and the hospital was to give him the opportunity to remedy his errors. Further, I assume it is not common practice for a doctor to base his opinion on the previous doctor’s exam and conclusions when a patient seeks him or her out for a second opinion. As absurd as it sounds as I write this out, (because it seems so incredibly obvious) doesn’t that completely subvert the entire foundation of getting a second opinion? So, according to Squire, I indeed have DIMDs, drug-induced neurological (movement) disorders and they are psychosomatic, both. In laymen's terms, that means I have them...and I'm faking them. Akathisia is a neurological movement disorder, not a mental illness. The "subjective inner component of akathisia" is just that: subjective. At the time, I'd suffered with it for over 12 years of my life, and it was unrelenting and becoming progressively acute. The pain of it, though subjective, is untenable. Anyone who has it, or who has had it, will confirm this. However, since akathisia is subjective, everyone experiences it in a slightly different way, but the term "jumping out of [their] skin" and "unbearable" are almost always used. Or, as some doctors who went through withdrawal akathisia stated, it was close to "the worst experience of their lives." Does that sound "uncomfortable" to anyone? Because that's how Trevor Squire describes akathisia: "uncomfortable." That’s why "subjective" is right there, in the description of the symptoms of akathisia from the very literature Dr. Squire gave us on our way out. Only his literature was for "drug-induced akathisia in the elderly." I was 48 at the time. I'm unclear if he's unable to assess age based on my age in the chart, or he simply didn't have the correct handout of a neurological condition he ought to be aware of in both presentation and treatment, being a specialist in the field. Dr. Squire showed a level of disdain for people who suffer from depression that left us stunned. He waved away suicidal ideation due to SSRI-induced akathisia, saying that the antidepressants only work "a little," and gave the depressed person (whom he mimed as someone who lays in bed with their arms out, head lolling to the side like a lazy, indolent blob) "just enough motivation" to complete the suicide.
