Although everyone is human and I’m sure my doctor is very busy, there has become more and more inattention to detail. Issues include repeatedly not calling in the right prescription for me, even after we’ve discussed the change. Though I think she did a good job in referring me to the neurosurgeon and collaborating with them evaluate me for a cutting edge neurosurgery, I might not even pursue that surgery. So her lack of attention to the small picture, day to day stuff that is less likely to get you on the front page of a medical journal is especially frustrating. For example, I thought we had a goal of transitioning me to a different seizure medication so that it’s safer to have children. We had this discussion over six months ago and little progress has been made. I hate to give this type of review because I’m sure she is a lovely person, and her demeanor is always pleasant though distracted. However, I am frustrated.

Dr. King took a time to get to know me, understand my medical history and current ailments. She took the time to explain, in detail, the approach she would take to manage through my health issues and the rationale behind it. She has the perfect balance of confidence, kindness and empathy.

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.
