I can't imagine a better doctor than Dr. Daffner dealing with Alzheimer's. My wife and I have been so impressed and gladdened by working with him. He is not just a wonderful doctor, he seems like a wonderful human being. He explains things so clearly, he stays so focused, and he has such a positive outlook. Thank you.

Dr. Daffner was very, very thorough, very respectful, very superior in his questioning and in my responses, getting me to identify things that he really wanted to know, the nuances of what he really wanted to know. He is an extraordinary neurologist. I feel very fortunate to have him and I look forward to my next opportunity to meet with him. Thank you so much for asking me what I think. I think the world of Dr. Daffner. Thank you so much. Bye.
