Now THAT'S quackery, if this neurologist did nothing more. If neuropathy was suspected, you could expect at a minimum to have a test such as an EMG, properly administered. And you should expect a diagnosis along with a print-out of the findings before you leave the office. You may well not understand much of that information but it gives you a basis from which to form questions to ask when you have your follow-up appointment. I am so sorry that you seem to have been dismissed as just another source of income for this person. Please consider a second opinion, and a third if doubts persist.

Neuropathy is diagnosed by emg and nerve conduction test. Small fiber neuropathy is diagnosed by biopsies the doctor takes three.
