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.

She was 30+ minutes late to our telehealth appointment and her bedside manner could use some improvement. I'm sure she just may have been having a busy"stressful day - and maybe was trying to make up time because she had an appointment after mine.
