Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372.

He was prepared for the appt. He had studied my tests taken in hospital. Seemed very thorough. Asked me to explain the events & how my seizures started & progressed. He kept me on the same meds because they seem to be working well. Made a gradual dosage adjustment. Gave me his card. Reminded me to call if there were any changes whatsoever. Told me if the dosage adjustment did not work correctly to call his office & let them know right away so he could further adjust. Set a follow-up appt for six months. Great patient repoire. Listened to the patient explain the events & time-line. Instilled confidence In his knowledge & abilities & skills, with the patient. I would definitely prefer care from this doctor over any others.
