    Dr Oppenheim was called in to do a consult on me at FL Hosp Altamonte, and I was warned by the…read moreattending that he was probably "going to be moody" and that he would "catch hell" for asking for a Saturday night consult. I caught hell instead. I was having such severe muscle spasms that I was on all 4's, head on the bed, screaming, when he finally got there. He came in the room and said "turn over" and because I physically could not, he announced after about a minute "Well then if you aren't going to comply I'm leaving" and walked out of the room. My bf and daughter had to CHASE HIM DOWN THE HALL & BEG for him to come back. When he finally did, the nurses were able to turn me on my side and cover my breasts (because I was so hot they removed all my clothes) and he literally took out a penlight, did a one-two pupillary check, said "She's lying" - and left. The next day the attending said "we know you are faking and jumping hospitals to get disability" because that was Dr Oppenheims exact words were to him. I went to a neurosurgeon recommended by a nurse a few months later as I got worse and worse, and found out I had a broken neck, VBI, CCI, AAI, traumatic Chiari, and high intracranial pressure...all things that could kill you instantly in and of themselves. I had brain decompression and cervical fusion with 2 giant screws to hold my neck together, as well as stem cell fusion grafts because my ligaments were torn C1 to C7 from a previous fall. I have fistulas now in my sinus/ears where CSF will pour out when my intracranial pressure is high. I would have been dead in weeks had I not found the problem when I did. I also have residual 'episodic cerebral ataxia' because the brain was damaged so severely by the time I was diagnosed. Dr Oppenheim should retire before he kills someone with his ineptness. He also flag deletes anything negative on other sites. He is a worthless, demented human being and I have never been closer to suicide than after this horrendous interaction. If it weren't for the nurses that took care of me that night, rubbing my back and apologizing for his shocking, sadistic-type behavior, I probably would have ended my life. The delay in treatment has left me with permanent brain damage. Most hellish experience I have ever had with ANY doctor in my life.

    Doesn't do proper testing and it turns out the majority of my issues come from allergic reactions…read more I should be able to get my money back. He wasted my time and money while risking my health.

    I saw Dr. Toshniwal (formally Dr. Bansal) for the first time yesterday and was very impressed with…read moreher professionalism, empathy, and medical judgement. I suffer from chronic migraines, which have been managed well over the last 4 months with medication, but have increased in frequency/severity over the last 2 weeks and were causing me to miss work and social activities. I needed to find a neurologist in Orlando after moving from Chicago a few months ago but many of the offices I called had very long waiting lists (some 5 months long!!). When I called Dr. Toshniwal's office they were able to get me in the very next day! The office itself is very tiny and outdated but cute. It lives in the Orlando Medical-Dental Center complex and is on the ground level in Suite 109. The waiting room is lined with chairs and wood paneling. Dr. Toshniwal took time to listen to all of my symptoms & concerns, asked a ton of questions, and did a thorough neuro exam. Overall the exam took about 20 minutes and she sent my new prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy. I'm very happy to have found her.

    I was diagnosed with MS by another neurologist that doesn't treat MS patients. I went to three…read moredifferent neurologists to find the right one to treat me. Dr. Toshniwal LISTENS, the others did not. She ANSWERED all of my questions, patiently. I never felt one bit rushed. She evaluated me thoroughly, including looking at my MRI and LP test results - which the others did NOT. She explained things on the MRI and LP that no one else explained to me. She talked to me AT LENGTH about the treatment options - including the newest ones, her opinions on them and asked me to do some research and make a decision on what I thought was the best choice for ME. I really appreciated that. I came back this week to talk about my conclusions - she answered some more questions and we decided on a treatment plan TOGETHER. She is also the only one who talked about managing the symptoms of the disease - offering medications (but not insisting on it) to make living with this disease more manageable. And lastly, she is VERY perceptive. She noticed that my one eye was a bit 'off'. I had not mentioned it but I thought I saw that in the mirror the day before, but then I thought I might be imagining it. It felt good to know that I found a doctor that is educated, observant, patient and competent. She is a professional, she is not going to coddle anyone. She does not like to be interrupted (I am really bad about interrupting people) and she will just go silent until you are done interrupting. It's a brilliant response, actually. I have decided I will use it myself when someone interrupts me! She gives plenty of time to talk and ask questions, so that one was on me. Oh, and it is in a weird building - park in parking lot on Evans Street, walk across Evans St into the middle of the building, turn left and it's right there.

It did take me a long time for someone to call me back for an appointment the first time. I went to the office maybe the almost end or middle of March and had to go back The beginning of April. I had some issues where I have certain medical diagnoses which restrict me from a normal MRI machine . The MRI service told me that due to those exceptions. My doctors office would need to do a prior authorization before they could do my MRI. I had never heard of this before so I made sure and asked. Do you want me to call the doctors office or the insurance? They said the doctors office. I've worked in pharmacy for almost 20 years and I know for a fact prior authorizations regardless if it's for medication for a medical supply or service, they are all done through the prescriber. I called the doctors office and for about six minutes I went back-and-forth with Teresa and she kept saying how they never do that. They need to schedule it for you. They don't know what they're talking about and after a while of back-and-forth she said please hold and let me see if I can find out. Almost 10 minutes later Evelyn answers the phone and she just says hello. This is Evelyn. I had not spoken to this person today yet. I said I'm holding for Teresa. She said I was told to answer the phone. How can I help you. The correct way to do that would be to say hello. My name is so-and-so. I was told by so-and-so to answer the phone to further assist you how may I help you? Makes sense? Good. Today is April 10 have not heard back anything regarding that check or verification that she was going to do . Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call at 4:33 PM. I missed it because I was working, I stepped out two minutes later and made the phone call and this. Message was saying that the office is closed and that they are now on service. Why would you ask me to call back now? If you are on service? I left a message with the on-call physician. Did not get a call back in the next morning. I had to call three times leave a message the first two on the third attempt someone finally answered. They transferred me to the administrator of the office Jamie . Like I said, I worked for a doctor's office before and worked very closely with my office administrator, and she behaved well above the minimum standards of common decency. This person stated that she was helping the office staff make calls and that is something that she never does so that's why she did not leave her name on the answering machine because if I called back, she would not be the one that I would reach out to and she had no answer as to why you would leave a voicemail asking somebody to call back when your phones are already on service. I will definitely be looking for a new Neurologist, because I am already depressed and anxious as it is that I have to go to a neurologist and live in St. Cloud and drive all the way to downtown Orlando to see these people. The doctor is fabulous, but if I have to deal with that office staff one more time I don't think I'll be able to hold off an anxiety attack. These people have me shaking.

    Good doctor. Fairly direct and to the point in his style. The office staff are tough to reach…read more Usually get a lot of voicemail.
