    This has been the best experience with medical care that we have received in the past 3 years. I was amazed that Dr. Gomperts was able to see us and fit us in his busy schedule.

    I consider myself very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Gomperts! He is brilliant, kind, astute, and very engaged in my care, which is complicated. His exams are thorough and his followup notes are extensive, which make me glad since I am more than a little self-absorbed. When one is on the verge of a potentially frightening diagnosis, I can't tell you how comforting it is to have a neurologist as skilled as Dr. Gomperts, because I know I am receiving the best possible care in the entire universe. (I am aware that is a bit over the top, but seriously, he is that good.) As a side note, he also makes me laugh. [redacted]
