I almost hate to post this review because I want to keep Dr. Meyerson all to myself! If only! LOL! I think he is hands down the best doctor in this city. He walks in with a smile on his face, discusses your symptoms thoroughly, asks a multitude of questions and takes as much time as each patient needs. Four years ago I felt a lump in my breast. Although he had no openings, he allowed me to come in after hours that night and he waited there for me. After feeling the lump, he immediately got on the phone and set up a mammogram and an appointment with a surgeon. Yes, I had breast cancer. He wasn't going to waste a day getting me the diagnosis and treatment I needed.
I have a wealth of medical issues but he is always patient, kind and concerned no matter what. He never just treats your problem; he works hard to get to the bottom of it. I have been using a walker for two years due to 24/7 chronic hip pain. I thought it was from chemo. After suffering for such a long time, I finally went to see Dr. Meyerson. He said he thought there was nothing wrong with my hip itself, that it was something affecting the nerves in my spine. But since is is thorough, he did order an X-ray to rule out bone cancer. He ordered an MRI, and sure enough, I had bulging discs pressing on my nerves that was causing my hip pain. His nurse called the day after my blood tests to tell me there was indication of thyroid problems. I went in for a second set of blood tests and after those, the doctor referred me to an endocrinologist who diagnosed me with Graves' Disease and hyperthyroidism. I could have gone into cardiac arrest! I am currently under treatment for those issues. I never would have known if he hadn't checked me out so well.
His staff is just as awesome. You can tell they love the man for whom they work. It is an office full of kind and understanding people. His nurse, Barbara, continued to call me to make sure I was following the doctor's orders. She called me five times in four working days. That is exceptional followup! She even called the endocrinologist to make sure I went to my appointment. Who does that these days? NOBODY!
I feel special when I go there. I am not just another cow being led through a chute. I am an individual with problems that Dr. Meyerson is going to fix come hell or high water. I feel safe knowing my health and my life are in his supremely capable hands.
All I can say is WOW! He needs to give training sessions to the majority of other doctors here in Austin regarding how to treat a patient. I am so proud that he is my doctor. I respect him so very much. read more
