I came to her after a car accident and a disappointing experience with another neurologist who dismissed my symptoms as anxiety and refused to order imaging. Dr. Wingrove did thorough in-office testing, saw red flags for spinal cord damage, and ordered the imaging that confirmed severe compression in my cervical spine. Her care quite literally changed the course of my health. I needed surgery, and without her, the condition would have gone undiagnosed and worsened. She's also responsive via the patient portal and open-minded to different treatment options. I'm beyond grateful to have found her and can't recommend her enough if you're dealing with neurological issues.

I was interested in coming back to CTN, but after trying to reach their office all week with no response (nobody answers the main line, nor calls you back after you've left messages) I've decided not to use Central Texas Neurology. This is especially disappointing. Reliable communication is essential in healthcare. Patients should not have to struggle to reach their provider's office. When you rely on a physician for ongoing care, especially for chronic conditions, this level of unresponsiveness is unacceptable.

I sent in all my medical records as requested, and they were never uploaded to my file for the doctor to view. My appointment was canceled and not communicated. I was treated so poorly by the scheduling lady that another staff member noticed and spoke up. Referrals I was told would be made were never heard from. I was told by a nurse that notes of what I discussed with the dr. are not in my chart. I was not followed up with regarding referrals I called to inquire about, and I have to wait until April to see Dr. Couch for the first time, which is 7+ months from my initial attempt to schedule an appointment with him.

They advised me to see a neurologist, nephrologist, and a vestibular therapist ( I had BPPV). and an ENT. I met with an ENT. Then worked with the vestibular therapist, then finally called Dr Reading in July. Even though I was an existing patient, the earliest appointment I could get with her was October 22! My appointment today was an exact script of information that she gave me last January before my fall and concussion. She did not listen to what I was saying about my symptoms being much worse and continuing to decline. She talked so fast that both my husband and I could not process what she was saying. She treated me like I was wasting her time. The memory test she gave me was an abbreviated version of the same test she gave me last January...with the exact same questions. I took a summarization report from my Physical Therapists(3x a week from June through October) that she barely glanced at. In short, if you are looking for answers and someone who seems to care...don't waste your time waiting to see Dr Reading. I'm searching for a second opinion from a different neuroligist ( not that I feel like she gave me an informed opinion of my personal problems.)

I sat and waited for Dr Cook for more than an hour on May 25, 2023. No one seemed to care how long I had been there, so I went up to the receptionist, and identified myself as a new patient again and also to let them know I was experiencing a very long wait for an appointment that should have happened an hour ago. The response was oh he's in surgery today. So although I was very perturbed, I brushed it off and rescheduled. Today is June 15th. Today as I walked in again to check in, I was approached with the same paperwork to fill out again that was unused the last time. I tried making an office clerk aware that I had already filled that out the paperwork the first time I had been there less than a month ago. She wanted me to redo the paperwork. I told her I wasn't having it and that my paperwork should be somewhere in my file. After several attempts of trying to get a few words in to this lady, I finally just buttoned up Fired Dr Cook then gave the lady a little piece of my mind. Surprisingly, there were approximately four or five other ladies at this massive counter and not one tried to take over, or try to interrupt the lady to explain to her that she was being rude and unprofessional by assuming and interrupting. It's beyond my understanding how anyone that works in a medical staff will assume anything. As I was leaving, I asked Dianne if you could have Dr Cook call me so that I could explain why he was no longer going to be my neurosurgeon, they told me that he was running about 45 minutes to an hour late again today. No one called me however in a Baroness Dianne did tell me I should call and see if he's behind schedule today. At that point, I knew that this relationship wasn't gonna last and he wasn't gonna have a job with me. I'm trying to understand, and I know that I am a bit frustrated right now, but would it be so wrong for me to think that it's the doctors staffs responsibility to place a call and say hey we're running late today. We know that you are busy as well, so we wanted to see if you could come by a little later, as opposed to being here in an office, sitting down, staring at other people that are doing the same thing. From what I understand my procedure has been estimated in about half $1 million. This is the worst medical staff in Austin, Texas and by the looks of things Dr Cook doesn't seem to give a rats ass about any of his patients, New, and I would imagine existing as well. If you were considering neurosurgery look elsewhere. Don't let the beautiful office space fool you. This is not the place if you're a busy person or keeps schedules and appointments like I do! Good Luck!

When trying to get follow-up imaging orders filed and to make contact with his staff they lied to me repeatedly. Then after continued persistent effort it finally got done. At the next visit, Dr L he blamed his staff for the problem after I told him I felt like he did not want anything to do with me any more. At this visit I had to plead with him to address the unaddressed persistent problem. He said he would order new imaging for this. It has been over a month and the orders have yet to be sent to my insurance. Repeated inquiries have been ignored as before. There is no way he can have a continuing practice with such a staff. I now blame Dr L for this subterfuge not his staff. So I decided to write this review. Rex Wootan, Llano, Tx - July 28, 2023

From the very beginning, he took the time to explain the procedures clearly, answer all of our questions, and make us feel confident about the plan moving forward. His professionalism, skill, and calm demeanor made a very stressful situation much easier. The surgery went very well, and the recovery process has been smoother than expected. Dr. Patel and his team were attentive, compassionate, and truly focused on the best outcome. I felt like I was in excellent hands the entire time. His nurse, Rosslyn, made me feel like I was the only patient she was working with, her dedication, compassion, and follow through is second to none. I highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone needing spinal or neck surgery. His expertise and genuine care for his patients truly make a difference.

My biggest gripe with the office is they constantly push brain stimulators on their patients. Starting with the TVs in the lobby, and with every visit. I used this office for 6 years and don't think there was ever a time when I wasn't pitched the brain stimulator. It is a solution for Parkinson patients, but i don't have Parkinson's. If you are a patient and they want you to consider a brain stimulator, I advise you seek a second opinion. Lastly in the six years I have been a patient of this doctor, I have only seen him for about 5 minutes back in 2015. Other times you have to see a physician's assistant.

I accompanied my companion to her appointments with Dr. Adam Horvit, in order to communicate her concerns to the physician, remember the physician's advice, help make decisions, and communicate my own concerns to the physician. Dr. Adam Horvit was visibly disturbed and threatened by my presence and participation. He was openly derisive of my lack of medical training, and brutally mocked me into silence when I questioned his opinion ("Is your name Dr. Google? DOCTOR Google, is it? I just want to be sure, now... is it DOCTOR Google?) When I persisted in questioning the basis of his opinion, by quoting the contradictory opinion of the MDA/ALS clinic's own speech pathologist, Dr. Horvit mocked her too, saying, "She doesn't know anything". In my personal opinion, Dr. Adam Horvit impressed me as an easily threatened bully, who is obviously a brilliant doctor, but one also "sucks right out loud" as a person. A list of recommended ALS clinics and treatment centers in Texas (which may or may not include Dr. Horvitz) is available at: http://www.alstexas.org/navigating-als/for-patients/centers-clinics/

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Horvit. I visited him several years ago for a problem I…read morewas having. Back then, his advice to me on how to alleviate the nerve pain was great. I was referred to a neurologist recently for an EMG test, and, of course, I requested to see Dr. Horvit again. I was very impressed with his positive and caring attitude towards me during my recent visit. The EMG is probably not the most pleasant task to perform, as it is a test where you subject the patient's muscles/nerves to electrical activity. However, a good conversation between tester and patient can go a long way in creating a distraction from the medical procedure. Dr. Horvit's professionalism and personality helped me feel comfortable and almost distracted from the testing at times. In today's health-care environment, it can be difficult to find medical professionals who truly care about their patients. Before the EMG test, Dr. Horvit listened to my symptoms, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he would consider my symptoms during the testing. Even though he had information from the doctor who referred me to him, Dr. Horvit listened nonetheless. I believe listening and understanding the problem at hand are important skills necessary for treatment of any medical issue, as is treating patients with respect and kindness. On all of these skills, Dr. Horvit has exceeded my expectations.
