Every neurologist I have used (approx 6) has been very capable and caring. They study my issues prior to our meetings and do not just spout platitudes. E.g., I visited Dr. Fan Caprio last week. 2 hours prior, I had some blood tests done for my cardiologist. Dr. Caprio picked them off in our meeting, and described to my wife and me why they looked good. I have been very pleased with our neurologists.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
