I had the WORST experience with this neurologist. I usually only leave positive reviews, but this was absolutely horrible for me. I wish i could give this negative stars, or at least zero stars. He is so rude and unprofessional, he completely ignored me and didn’t listen when i told him about my symptoms and that multiple other doctors were concerned that my symptoms are consistent with a couple of serious and scary conditions (which was the entire reason i was referred to him) he refused to test me for anything, or even give me a proper basic exam. He didn’t listen, claimed it was just headaches/migraines and had me try a different pill every 3 weeks (nothing worked) until we’d tried every migraine medication he recommended and determined that they don’t do anything for the symptoms we’re concerned about, because migraines AREN'T the problem! I didn’t even complain about migraines, but he insisted, without testing immediately upon meeting me, that this was the problem. I don’t want pills, i want answers and testing (mri, eeg, ct, anything?!). His lack of care is astonishing, really. This man should not be a doctor. He’s very dismissive of women, he’s extremely rude and cold, and he doesn’t seem to care about his patients at all. Also, be prepared to wait in the waiting room for at least 3 hours, even if you schedule your appointment months in advance. I wouldn’t have minded the ridiculously long wait time if he had been even a little more caring of a doctor and at least tried to help me, rather than throw pills at me and dismiss me without listening. This experience was awful and so invalidating , i have no idea how this man managed to become a neurologist, he shouldn’t be treating anyone. Save yourself some time and energy, and find a different neurologist. I have never in my life felt so disrespected and disregarded by a doctor before.

Most awkward experience ever in my life. Dr Russian assistants Russian all other patients Russian. I felt like I showed up to a cult. They don't answer the phone EVER... Never even called to verify my appointment and I was calling for days to double check. Would never recommend this place

Questions & Answers

I agree re answering the phone. Phone rings, no answer, then states "voicemail is full". Kind of hard to make an appointment.

WHY DO YOU MAKE PATIENTS WAIT ONE AND A HALF HOURS TO SEE THE "DOCTOR"??????

Its best to schedule your appointment around lunch or the end of the day. You'll be in and out faster.
