It was important and reassuring to talk to a neurology specialist and ask questions about a brain MRI that my PC could not answer. Because this was his expertise, our conversation was limited. Questions regarding overall high blood pressure measures to be taken were referred back to my PC. This was appropriate.

It's worth consulting with that doctor because he's a doctor who tells it like it is, and problems are always easily solved when you find someone who tells you the truth, and it's worth consulting him.

Very impressed that he greeted me personally when I walked to examination room with him. He was part of my ER visit via virtual care. It was before 7 AM and having two neurologists on the call was amazing. He recalled this during our visit on 10/20.
