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.
