Dr. Thibert is the most amazing neurologist I have had in my whole life. He listens and is very knowledgeable in neurology. I would recommend him everyday to anyone. He is very sweet and you can tell he really wants to do everything in his power to help or prevent my seizure. I would trust his opinion over anyone else's. In conclusion, he is an amazing man, doctor and I would recommend him everyday.

This care provider is very helpful and professional. He's quite knowledgeable about the subject and he was able to answer all of our questions and his concern to the patient was appreciated. I'm the legal guardian for my daughter and she's unable to articulate or speak so I was speaking on her behalf and she was present and the provider is very helpful and we are very happy with the provider.

Dr Ronald Thibert is amazing treating and communicating with my daughter who has Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities as well as neurological conditions. He makes her feel comfortable and respected as well as gives her the time she needs to articulate her concerns and formulate correct answers to his questions. My daughter sees many medical specialists. Dr. Thibert, though, is the best at treating her as a "whole" person with many co-comorbidities. I believe his skills, abilities, and demeanor ensures she is receiving knowledgeable and excellent health care.
