Dr. Templer was very kind. She took the time to listen & I was very talkative. My mom assisted me on the video chat & Dr. Templer welcomed her as well. When we were done I had a new prescription, an appointment, & explanations about the meds that I'm currently on & why they're making me feel the way I do.

The scale honestly needs to be higher when speaking of Dr.Templer she's more like a 25. Dr.Templer is the type of Neurologist/Doctor that everyone needs she goes above and beyond. She feels like family she's a genuine woman, handles everything right there so you can see it. Also if not your in constant contact MyChart when I have a seizure her team of nurses are excellent as well. They stay on It very detailed oriented. Dr. Templer will get to the root of Seizure and figure out a solution. She handles her business for me as her patient without me having to ask she does she just knows what I need. She's been a Blessing to me as her patient!

During my life I have seen many doctors. I was an athlete in college and saw doctors all the time. My neurologist is the best doctor ever! She cares and goes above and beyond with her personal touch for my case. I feel so safe knowing I can turn to her with any problem I may have and get answers. More importantly she is true to her word! I am so lucky to have found her and be in her care!
