My father was given a new medication that caused such a severe negative reaction that he ended up spiraling so quickly that he passed away in two weeks. I tried to call numerous times, no return call or answer. I left messages. No return call. When my father finally died, I called to let them know. Here was the interaction - ring ring - immediately on hold with no answer. Then the voice "Pima Neurology." I said, "I was calling to let you know my father passed away". Answer back, "birthdate". I gave it. Answer back, "I will tell her. Have a nice day." Disconnect. This sums up every interaction with this group. Front office is cold, heartless, unhelpful and rude. Find a different office. I wish my parents had never found them. I wish I could give them a Zero. No matter the skill of the practitioner- if you can't get past the gate keeper, it is not worth risking being a patient in the practice.

My familial tremors increased. At one point he suggested CBD. I attended their group therapy sessions which were sales pitches for items and services we might want to buy.   I was not improving while the Dr. sat, arms and legs crossed at every visit. I demanded to see his superior, who tested and said, I never had Parkinson's. It was "something" under the massive Parkinsonism umbrella.   I had surgery in Santa Monica in1975 on the L4/5, S1 discs in my lower back. In 2022, my back was further damaged an the original Dr. at CNS referred me to their back specialist. At first he argued with me, saying I don't need surgery on the disc. I had to demand an Xray. After looking at the Xray, his entire mood changed and he agreed I needed another fusion and laminectomy. He only performed the laminectomy. which he performed and which collapsed two years later, requiring a FUSION and laminectomy on the L/3/4 + L4/5.  I have full insurance coverage, yet 3 years later, I've been. billed $2422.50.  Why? this was completely covered by insurance.

But after a major surgery leaving me with severe neuropathy, headaches and pain, I was referred to a neurologist. Finding the technology in place and All the studies, I found they were the neurologist I needed. We quickly were able to access due to the right side handicap of my body it was not a stroke, prompt MRI to discover we could rule out the stroke or such. We went with the ambulatory EEG and discovered I had many issues to resolve. The EMG discovered chronic neuropathy on the right side. Left, minor. Linked to Lumbar 4 and SI along other minor damages from long surgery. We have so much still to do, but the evidence is now clear of my path with referred physical therapy to get me back in the path of recovery. My only complaint is, office isn't very prompt on following up on referrals. Too many hands relying on each other and slips. So you can do your own follow up and allow them to do the neurological work, they are worth it. Staff and doctor are friendly and juggle to get you the test needed. It's just insurance that delays the process so you do the leg work.

What a breath of fresh air!…read more My son was dx'd with epilepsy about 2 yrs ago, at age 19. We were seeing Dr. Teeple at Center For Neurosciences and he was fabulous. Not only was he very knowledgeable, he had a great bedside manner and a terrific rapport with my son. However, he stopped working in the office to be at TMC full time. They moved my son to another Dr. at the practice who was horrible. After complaining, they moved us to Dr. Carnahan. She listens patiently to everything my son has to say. She offers suggestions and gets his feedback before making a decision. She looks at his overall life functioning with epilepsy so that he can be employable and employed and successful in life. Not too hard to get an appt and she doesn't run too far behind (a little bit, but not bad). She is very knowledgeable about Epilepsy and medications but doesn't talk down to us. Again, she LISTENS. When my son needed a note for his employer, she faxed it to me within a few hours after I asked for it!!! I highly recommend her.

My adult daughter with epilepsy and a…read moreviral encephalitis survivor from age 10 saw a reluctant Dr. Louann Carnahan (she was referred by another Center for Neurosciences doc who was overwhelmed with her workload and left CNS) in 2016 & 2017. My daughter had more than 80 generalized tonic-clonic seizures under her care (more than she had ever had in 20 years) and we even tried a Vagus Nerve Stimulator that not only didn't improve seizures but I later realized shouldn't have ever been surgically inserted for her type of seizures. She has a horrible 3 inch scar on her throat and another huge one above her left breast and the VNS 3 inch "puck"is still in her chest. Basically, Dr. C nor Center for Neurosciences didn't care about their patient at all. We were "fired" and services were terminated the minute I requested the VNS be turned off. I found her to be the most unprofessional, immature (she actually rolled her eyes when I was asking questions), uncaring and cold doctor ever worked with. She NEVER touched or examined my daughter, asked her to walk, checked her reflexes, eyes or anything. She only wanted to see her for the 15 minute appt every 6 months and write a scrip. We received letters twice from CNS and her disability insurance carrier that they were having a contract dispute. I suspect they really don't want to work with United Healthcare or developmentally disabled patients because they don't receive the payment they might receive from other corporate or private companies. We were traumatized by this treatment and as a caregiver I am just now in 2019 recovering. The good news is we went back to her primary care doctor who's known her since age 8, discontinued the horrible medication concoction prescribed by Dr. C, and she is only having a seizure about every 3 months. We changed our diet (I asked about this and Dr C had no clue or suggestions). My daughter has since obtained her first job & is active in Special Olympics and Young Life instead of curled up on the couch with body aches and pains so intense we could hardly touch her. She had no quality of life. There are much better choices out there, don't go here for ADULT Neurology (their pediatric docs are awesome, we had the same one for 17 years).
