Dr Yeh is a very pleasant, personable neurosurgeon who had reviewed my file, including my CT and MRI scan, with me and discussed the possible treatment options.

My family doctor scheduled an MRI which identified several back issues, most of which a person might expect at this age and suggested I see Dr. Kissel for an assessment. In the meantime, at the suggestion of some friends who experience back problems, I showed the MRI to a chiropractor who is giving me traction table treatments and I am getting relief. I didn't know what to expect at my appointment with Dr. Kissel, but I am pleasantly pleased with his approach, assessment, and recommendations for changing my activities to avoid needing back surgery. He is warm and friendly, and took the time to help me understand what is happening with my spine. He agrees with the traction table treatments if they continue to relieve my discomfort. I've changed my exercise routine and ended my volunteer work with the food bank. Most of all, he didn't say I need to give up my motorcycling, my body will tell me when I would need to give up riding.

I have recently been looking around for any neurologists who may have come into town recently. In…read moredoing so I re-read the reviews on Dr. Robert Price. After my excelIent neuro left town, I saw him once a few years ago and since then, that visit has really bothered me. Sorry to say the negative comments about him are exactly correct. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996. Since then I have seen 8 neurologists over the years including Dr. Louis Rosner, the head of the MS program at UCLA and, at that time, a world-renown expert in MS. I also later saw his successor in the UCLA MS program. I had gone to UCLA for a second opinion to be sure of the diagnosis. I have had many MRI's over the years. Those 8 doctors, upon examination and review of the MRI's, all concluded that I have MS. One can overlook Dr. Price's repugnant demeanor, head in the computer and uncommunicative bordering on being obnoxious. But he had the gall to suggest that I might not have MS. I asked him "You are concluding that with no review of medical records?" He answered affirmatively. This individual is a disgrace to the medical profession. Too bad there aren't but a few neurologists in the area.

In more cases than one doctors like him are in the habit of giving you the answer to your question only once. I found the staff welcoming and very knowledgeable. Perhaps they have learned from this great platform what his practice needed, if that is the case, thank you my friends. No one needs to be my friend or stroke my ego, I'm not that kind of neurology patient. I told him succinctly everything I could about my condition. He listened, asked a lot of questions and then told me what he recommended I do. If I balked at a suggestion he went on to the next best treatment until I could see the one I wanted. Granted I've only seen him the once. I have some tests coming up, and if there is any problem I will be back on this forum to report. Just remember this: he may be the Doc Martin of neurology, but I'd much rather have his expertise than someone who wants to be my mom but doesn't necessarily know how to heal me.

My mother…read morehas had dementia, seizures for years... some bedside manners and decency from the office staff is all we ask. My mother is gentle and kind, and her visits with Dr. Filippi were rude and dismissive. We stayed because we heard he was the best Neurologist in the area. A few weeks ago I flew across the country to be interviewed by Social Security to be my mom's representative, as she is no longer able to manager her own affairs. It went well and all that was needed was for the doctor to sign the form confirming she indeed has these medical issues. Nothing was returned. For weeks we called and were just forwarded to the voicemail of the office manager, and never heard anything back. The ladies at the front desk refused to help or lift a finger other than to transfer our call to the voicemail, mid sentence. Finally, today, a day before the deadline and all our travel/work would be for not, I called and pleaded with the ladies at the office to at least ask the doctor, or reach out to the Office Manager for me, follow up proactively somehow, they refused. They gave every excuse in the book not to at least try and help move this forward: they said it wasn't their job, that usually primary care doctors do this, that they can transfer us to the office manager, that they're not allowed to speak to me about confidential patient information (I didn't ask them for that). Perhaps it is true that primary doctors normally are the ones to sign, but it is not a hard rule they have to never do such forms, especially when the reason on the form is 100% neurology related -- and never getting back to us for weeks put us in a spot where getting this done by her primary is now impossible. All we wanted was someone to ask the doctor, or at least help us get a response from the office manager -- nothing. When I asked why we didn't hear back for weeks they said, I don't know, and hung up. I called back three times and they screened our calls. Just a little bit of care, effort, and empathy could have meant so much to my mom and family.
