I had a wonderful experience at the Center for Brain and Spine…read more I'm glad that my primary physician referred me to this Center because I thought Dr. Amini was very knowledgeable and super professional. Unfortunately, my experiences with many physicians/specialists in the past have not been all that great because I got the sense that they were trying to rush me through the appointment. However, Dr. Amini took his time to read my medical records and listen to me while I discussed my symptoms. Unlike a few other specialists, he actually let me finish my thoughts before cutting me off with an answer. Also, he provided wonderful (maybe wonderful is the wrong word) about my lower back issues.

My 84 year old mother suffered with back pain for more than 20 years. Daunted by the radical…read moreprospect of spinal fusion, she put surgical options off. As the pain became intolerable and she saw her mobility decline dramatically, we sought surgical consults. Dr. Amini was our second consultation. Thoughtful, measured, and experienced in the extreme, while deeply concerned, we were prayerfully led to trust him my mother's care. He and his team are compassionate in addition to skillful. Her pre-surgical stenosis pain is non-existent. She is starting to drive again and has regained a great deal of her agility and confidence. Dr. Amini is clearly gifted and highly trained, as are many neuro-surgeons in the Medstar system. However, his most salient asset is his intentional, patient-oriented approach, and determination to treat his patients like he would want his family to be treated. As my mother said to him, "You restored my hope." Dr. Amini is an answer to our prayers and a primary reason why she is restarting a favorite pastime of walking 10,000 steps a day.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ahmed for the past 15 years, and throughout that time he has…read moreconsistently provided exceptional care. From accurate diagnoses to effective treatment plans, his expertise and dedication have been outstanding. It is no surprise that he is recognized year after year as one of the top neurologists in the metropolitan area. What truly distinguishes Dr. Ahmed is his genuine commitment to his patients. He goes above and beyond to ensure they receive the highest quality care, often providing medication samples so patients can begin treatment before filling a prescription. He takes the time to make sure patients have the appropriate medications and quantities, and he is remarkably accessible, even near the end of the workday, when many physicians would have already wrapped up their schedules. Dr. Ahmed's knowledge of neurological disorders is exceptional, and his compassion, professionalism, and patient-centered approach are second to none. After 15 years under his care, I can say without hesitation that he is one of the finest physicians I have ever encountered. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmed to anyone seeking outstanding neurological care.

It took me a LONG time to find a new neurologist after frustration about trying to schedule a much…read moreover due appointment with my former Dr. That I loved...the rest of my experiences, not so much. His office and wait were a nightmare. I was used to a 2 to 3 hour office visit. I never expected a Dr. Office to run that efficiently, that quickly, AND address all of the issues currently and coming up in the future and managed to do everything from checkin to leaving practice in under an HOUR!. This is also the first Doctor to inquire about my headaches. He said, "I can fix that!" and he did! I haven't had more than 7 headaches in over 8 months! I used to get 3 to 8 a day. (I never brought them up because I assumed that was "normal" since I had nothing to compare it to. The disorder I have is like that... it's very strange and VERY HARD to manage ) I have called and spoken to the staff up front. They remembered me, and I remembered their voices from over the phone. I know it was actually office because they commented on my glasses when I asked if their's were fixed yet. Nice, clean, and friendly staff in addition to an amazing doctor, Dr. Siddiqui. He knows what my condition is (without having to Google it first) and understands and truly cares about trying to help my quality of life. I highly recommend him for anyone with issues that require the doctor to listen to your needs and want to help you achieve your goals. So disorders there isn't much you can do, so to find one to actually "Fix" something is a true miracle. I did happen to take to take a photo from out front. I parked my car and looked out the window, and saw something very unintentionally hysterical. That alone helped what would have been a very hard day indeed. The picture is from the parking spot in front of the stairs to the building. It is not of the business, but it did make me laugh. Everything in life is all about "Perspectives". Perspectives, life is all about Perspectives. Look closely and crop to find the reason this turned bad news into hysterical news...

Dr. Galdi managed my migraines for about the past 6 mos and came at the recommendation of one of my…read morephysician colleagues at the best in the area. Unfortunately, his office staff isn't the most professional but they do always gave him my messages and called in my rx refills. Dr. Galdi himself was a little strange and didn't really want me to do any talking, "just the facts ma'am." My migraines improved somewhat, but I have added acupuncture twice weekly. Dr. Galdi's style of patient management is actually 'telephone-management": you don't come in again, you just call, leave a message and then he calls you back between 12 and 1pm. The problem is he tells you to call back in X number of days and then he just changes meds again. I feel like I'm talking to a robot for the 60 secs he's on the phone. Sorry, but I need a flesh-n-blood person and have since switched practices.
