It wasn't all that effective for anything. It created a placebo effect. Worse yet side effects caused my liver ALT/AST to elevate slightly. I visited the emergency room at Northwest Community Oct 8th due to persistent painful erections from the drug. The emergency room doctor told me to start holding doses on it that the drug may be to blame for the ALT/AST elevations (liver enzymes) as soon as I stopped the POISON of a drug things started to get better, and my sleep didn't change whatsoever. My classic sleep medicines just work and the doctor admitted that he tried to fix what wasn't broke and said "Whoa, you're scary when medicines mess up on you, now I see why you told me on your first visit 'don't fix it if it ain't broke'" He profusely apologized and I readily forgave him telling him "Medicine is a practice, it's a collaboration between provider and patient, a good provider is like you, willing to fess up to a mistake or a screw up and take a dent on the ego." He was delighted to hear this and reassured me he would never try to change my medicines again and would happily routinely refill my needed sleep medicine that I have been taking for over a decade. This man is how all doctors should be, non egotistical, collaborative, and when he makes a mistake he owns up to it. I wish more doctors grew a pair of balls like this guy has to be able to take a ego dent.

Lumbar spinal disc degeneration is no fun. One of the worst things you can do if you have this…read morecondition is participate in high impact sports such as running. I used to run 25 to 30 miles a week and did this for about 8 years. Unknowingly at the time, my lumbar spine and hips took a beating. I received a lumbar spinal fusion in 2001, and had complications (lumbosacral root disorder, hip spine syndrome and arthritis). Those complications led to my falling and sustaining 5 concussions (post concussion syndrome) in the last 2 years, and using a walker and a cane for mobility. Dr. Eric Ericson is my neurologist. I selected him after researching his credentials, which are outstanding. We also share the same alma mater (Go Cats!) so I felt comfortable immediately with him. What I like most about him is he listens and is supportive. The brain MRI results enabled him to create a plan tailored to my needs. With all of the falls, I've developed PTSD and painfully intense hip problems, too. I'm receiving hip injections, physical therapy, and massage and psychological counseling. Some days I want to throw in the towel, but my care team and family have been so supportive that there is no way I could ever let them down. I'm still climbing the mountain to recovery and know it will be strenuous at times, but I'm in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Ericson and his staff because they not only know their stuff, but they really care. Yes, they care.

Calling to schedule a neurology appointment for my father was already stressful enough given his…read moremedical condition. Unfortunately, the experience became even worse because of the receptionist, Olga. From the start, her tone was rude and dismissive. I am authorized to schedule appointments for my father, and while trying to do so, she repeatedly asked me for insurance codes and terminology I wasn't familiar with. I explained that I had the insurance information and referral, and that most offices simply verify the details themselves. Instead of helping, she continued speaking in insurance jargon and placed me on hold multiple times. At one point, she told me she couldn't access the insurance information herself. Minutes later, she somehow had all of my father's insurance information available through the referral that had already been sent. The entire conversation was unnecessarily confusing and frustrating. She then accused me of being rude. I was not rude--I was direct because I was on a short break at work and simply trying to get an appointment scheduled. There is a difference. What happened next was the most concerning part. After providing my father's information, I was told they would not be scheduling or seeing him because of my alleged behavior toward the receptionist. I was shocked. This is a neurology office where patients often wait months for appointments and are dealing with serious medical issues. Caregivers already have enough on their plates without being treated this way. Before writing this review, I read other reviews and noticed multiple complaints about rude front desk staff. Based on my experience, those concerns appear to be valid. I cannot speak to the quality of the doctor because we were never given the opportunity to become patients. The physician may be excellent, but the front office experience was so unprofessional that my father was effectively denied access before ever being seen. Very disappointing.

However I have to say that Dr. Baskaya, who operated on and cared for my mother in the spring of 2011, consistently impressed me as having that rare quality - - rarest of all in a surgeon - - humility. The other thing that struck me about seeing him at work over the course of a week or more, was that his staff adores him. I would not hesitate to place myself or any of my loved ones in his care. Since he's a neurosurgeon, I hope that doesn't happen, of course, but should the need arise, he will be my first choice.

I have ups and downs with the Neurology at the UW Hospital. It's a Level 4 Epilepsy hospital (I…read morethink one of only 3 in WI) so the equipment is top notch and the doctors are very well-trained and extremely knowledgeable, so you really can't beat that. The issue is the ratio of patients to doctors is so oversaturated that it's tough to get 100% of the care you need and pretty tough to get an appointment -sometimes 4-6 months. Most end up being virtual video appointments in order to get through the long line, but it can be a nice option if you live further. The scheduling team is definitely on-the-ball calling patients on the cancelation list. If you catch the call right away you can probably get a sooner appointment! The Neurology team is relatively fast at replying to MyChart messages, which is awesome! If something is really pressing and you're willing to wait on hold, you may be able to reach a nurse via phone too. I give them 4 stars though because if you stress that things are really starting to effect the quality of life; the doctors are quick to order MRIs, PETs and studies. I did a 6 day stay in the EMU and the care of the attending doctors, RNs, MAs, PAs and techs was nothing short phenomenal. The EMU is a pretty miserable place but the teamwork, communication and care was fantastic. Top-notch equipment. Lovely room. Really great food, everything can be ordered in advance via an iPad. I've worked with Dr. Felton, Dr. Gardon, Dr Laquer and Therese Aschkenase NP. All in all, there are big pros and cons to UW Neurology but it's the best care you're going to find as long as you're patient for appointments!

That being said, I've been suffering from a migraine headache for a while. Just one big, long, nasty migraine that won't go away! After all kinds of tests done by my GP, he suggested that I see Dr. DeSanto. At our initial visit, she took at least 20 minutes talking to me, trying to pinpoint the exact cause of what's going on in my head. After discussion, we BOTH decided that medication would be a great start to kicking this in the butt. Two and a half weeks later, still not feeling good, and am having nasty side effects from the meds. I called her office, and she wasn't in. Next day, SHE called me back to ask what was up. Changed my meds. Two weeks after this call, I call again. Nasty side effects, still not cutting it on the feeling better side either. Called her, and her office had her call me back personally. We chatted for about 5 minutes, and decided to try one more. I've never had a doctor that calls me back personally, and takes the time to listen to what I have to say. For this reason alone, she gets five stars. I would give her five more for the pure fact that she's excellent at what she does, has terrific bedside manner, and is an overall awesome person.
