    I could not have wished for a better doctor than Rani Sarkis. He is a gift to the medical profession and to humanity. He blends empathy and careful listening with his extensive medical experience, knowledge of the latest evidence-based practices and current data, and steady and positive support. He works with me, answering my questions, and helping me weigh possible treatment options. Above all, he has been creative in developing a treatment plan that has helped me get back as much agency and independence as possible while maximizing safety. I am forever grateful to have Dr. Sarkis as my doctor and medical partner. You need a higher number than 10 for him in your ratings.

    Yes, we really do like Rani Sarkis. He's a very nice person and seems to be a very thorough doctor, except he doesn't do the best neurological exams that I would have expected, but he seems to get the information that he needs. He doesn't do reflexes or pupil reaction. Anyway, he seems to, or listen to his chest or whatever. He just, anyway. But he's very nice and he seems very thorough otherwise and he knows [redacted] very well.

    Dr. Rani Sarkis is an exemplary physician that the Brigham and Women's is more than fortunate to have as a Neurologist of his caliber. As my Neurologist for 11 some years, Dr. Rani Sarkis is intuitive, caring, kind, perceptive, understanding, attention to detail, his follow thru is immediate with regard to prescriptions, telephoning and/or returning a call that is in need of a response in a timely manner and Dr. Sarkis exemplifies all of the qualities values and knowledge I resonate with. Dr. Sarkis has a pleasant demeanor, warmness excellent listening skills, that initiates questions by the patient . As a result, as I always do with all of the physicians, I prepare a list of questions prior to my visits and ask all of my questions. This initates detailed feedback from the physicans. Interestingly, feedback initiates the patient to ask additional questions as a result of the feedback from the physician. Dr. Sarkis in particular, is a physician that exhibits this quality as well. All patients should be encouraged and they should be made aware of this component with regard to their appointment with their physician. Dr. Rani Sarkis is an inspiration to me as I am sure his expertise knowledge and all of the qualities I have detailed are prevalent with all of his patients. The Brigham and Women's Hospital is most fortunate to have had the apptitude, values and ability to choose Dr. Sarkis as a Neurologist as a care provider representing Brigham and Women's Hospital. Note: If this information is permitted to be shared with Dr. Sarkis, I am confident that it would be appreciated. I thank you for the opportunity to share my experience(s) and my happiness regarding Dr. Sarkis as a Neurologist and an extraordinary person. [redacted]
