To answer your question: yes, my neurologist took my suggestion on an adjustment in medication and my seizures were controlled. That’s most important. But also, his support staff is phenomenal. In person, they are knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. On the phone, they know the next steps.

In my experience too many times there’s a disconnect between the person at the front desk in the doctor’s office and the doctor. The receptionist radiates ‘ this is a boring job. Isn’t it time to go home yet?’ No matter how good the news or the doctor, the visit is more stressful.

Good Morning @methel
Thank you for sharing this. What a great example of true partnership with your neurologist! You also touched on something so important: the support staff.
That disconnect you describe at the front desk is unfortunately all too familiar. I've experienced that myself with my own neurologist's front desk.
I'd love to hear from others in our community: has a support team made your medical experience significantly better or harder?
