I really liked Dr River. He explained everything to me so I could understand it and listened to me and answered my questions. I would definitely recommend him.

Almost 3 hour wait, he didn't even remember I was a patient of his, he tried to push medical procedure that I was adamant I did not want, very rude, and my scans have not been sent to the imaging center yet. Horrible experience.

Terrible experience, my concerns were poorly addressed. No treatment plan in place. Just given runaround’s and no help. I should’ve went to Western neurology.
