Dr Grebenciucova was professional and knowledgeable she demonstrated an interest in the reason for my visit. She came in already having reviewed my past medical history. She listened attentively to symptoms that were of concern to me and reviewed with me the test results I had brought in. She explained possible diagnosis, the need for further testing and she explained the particular test themselves. She suggested referrals and gave great feedback. I would highly recommend Dr Grebenciucova to anyone that is in need of that particular specialty area of care.

Dr G & her Resident were very thorough, never had a 2 hour appointment, listened to my experiences/concerns and while reassuring that Dr. G didn't think I have what the previous neurologist diagnosed me with, gave me hope that I'd get definitive answers at NMH! Obviously Dr. G is a specialist w/in the realm of neurology but if someone I knew had MS or an auto-immune disease then would refer to her.
