Ditto for most of these reviews here. Very difficult to communicate with. Told me I had had a stroke and a head injury with no real hard evidence. Told me this was my new normal and part of my problem was that I wasn't coping with it well. I have neck problems, causing neurological issues, I paid out-of-pocket to see a neurological nurse practitioner, and she had a lot of experience with strokes. She was very clear that my neck instability is giving me all the symptoms I have. Dr. Stahl simply dismissed me.. Argumentative, parsed my words, picked at small things I said, just very very difficult. In his written report he said that I was perseverating on my own train of thought, and not following his conversation.
At times, he seemed to be really trying to be cooperative, he was putting in some effort trying to communicate, but then that other part of him just took over. Very, very difficult. I can't get my neck surgery now because of the diagnosis that he gave me, until that is cleared. He did refer me for multiple tests, and so far those have come back simply pointing to the neck issues. I tried to get in with another neurologist at Virginia Mason, the soonest they could get was January.,
Do not choose this doctor, just do not do it. read more
