I didn't know the Neurologist I was referred to, but I was able to read other patient reviews before I went to the appointment. Based on what I read it was clear some thought he did not have a great bedside manner, and he is very direct (which I like). It seemed to me that the people who really did NOT like him (and there were a number) did not hear what they wanted or expected to hear. Thankfully I had no pre-conceived ideas about what might be going on, so I was pretty open.

I was very comfortable with his approach. He certainly wasn't warm - but he wasn't cold either - just direct. He provided the information I needed (including a handout), and he answered my questions. I found him to be professional, and would recommend him if asked.

Perhaps you could look up the names of Neurologists in your area and do some online research to find someone you think you may gel with?
