I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Later and his staff. It is a joy to maintain my healthcare with these people. It wasn't always like this. The early years of my disease were very hard because of poor treatment.

Dr Later was incredibly through and detailed. He spent an hour with us and asked many questions. He listened to us and addressed our concerns. It was clear that he had thoroughly reviewed all the data we brought to him two weeks before our visit. We came to him for a second opinion, but we're so impressed we made him our primary neurologist. We are totally comfortable with him.

I feel like Dr. Later is putting a lot of effort into diagnosing and helping my symptoms. He explains things very well and listens well. I'm probably not the easiest patient at this time and I have some trouble communicating, but he's straight forward and patient. I've had my migraines and symptoms for some time and I've made a lot of progress under his care-both in feeling better and having a better understanding of what's happening and what can and can't be done. I'm really great full for the time and effort he's given this far. I

Dr. Later was wonderful. I didn't realize my appointment had been scheduled for an hour since I was a new patient. I learned this after my appointment. So I was really impressed with Dr. Later and the time he spent getting to know me and listen. His care and treatment made me feel safe.
