    My experience with this neurologist was outstanding. He was kind, compassionate, and an excellent listener. I really appreciated that he had already reviewed my history beforehand, which made the appointment feel efficient and less stressful since I didn't have to repeat everything. He provided thoughtful recommendations and, most importantly, gave me a strong sense of hope and confidence that I'm on the right path to getting better.

    Doctor was nice and intelligent. His exam was brief and I was treated well. However in my opinion, he did not spend quite enough time considering my history/symptoms and I don't feel he asked me enough detailed questions. I don't think he adequately explained the diagnosis and why my case is atypical in its progression. [redacted]

    Couldn't ask for a better doctor, listens, explains, and is not in a hurry. He takes the time tomorrow talk, listen and examine.

    Dr. Palmer is the best neurologist I've ever had. He has been my doctor for since 2021 when I had COVID, post-COVID, and he has seen me through a lot. I have nothing but good things to say about him, and I am glad that he is my neurologist. That's all. I wouldn't be moving my fingers right now if it wasn't for him. How's that?

    Dr Slama helped me very much with my very sore back. He gave me some suggestions and then spoke to the team that continued to help me. It most likely is part of my ALS. They ended up sending to the brace group and I received a back brace to help me in this area, I think I'm on the right path.

    Dr. Slama provided exceptional medical expertise and combined that with a warm human touch that made his advice understandable and impressive.

    We can't say enough good things about Dr. Slama. So glad we are able to have him for my doctor.

  • Reviewed on 2/8/2026

    I was very impressed with his knowledge of neurology, his concern for cultural issues, his questioning medication and its side effects, his understanding there were test results that indicated MG, but that the symptoms could have been relieved and therefore another course of action made sense. He was outstanding. [redacted]

    I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Slama's knowledge and expertise as well as his kind "bedside manner." I never felt rushed and he listened carefully to all I had to say. He gave me a very thorough examination before giving me his impressions and we talked through treatment approaches thoroughly. I would highly recommend this doctor and although I have a significant drive to get to him I will definitely stay as his patient.
