Just to read my information back to me and say have a nice day. Yes I agree with the other reviews. They are very rude to people and think just because they are doctors they know everything and want to talk down to you. MRI's can in fact show signs of early dementia. It's a fact.

Dr. Jahan is a lovely, lovely person. I could tell that she very much cared about what was going on…read morewith me and the frustration I've had with trying to get medication and resolution on my chronic migraines. That said, she was point blank with me that she will not prescribe a medication I take as a rescue med because it is a controlled substance and she does not want to lose her license due to the amount of tracking that goes along with it. It's only Percocet but due to more stringent drug laws, a medication and treatment plan that has worked for me for 20+ years is now out the door. She told me to get Botox shots even though my insurance wouldn't cover it - I don't have $1500+ to pay for that. She then suggested that I get occipital nerve blocks - I had that done in the past and not only was it expensive, it was extremely painful and did nothing to help. I asked her what my options were for pain control since she would not write for the medication I take and she said Advil, Aleve, or a muscle relaxant (which won't do anything for pain - duh!). I told her how much Advil and Aleve I was already taking with zero effect and she was mortified, saying it was too much. My response to that is if someone would provide the proper relief and the medication I know works, then there wouldn't be this problem. Her only other solution was to put me on a preventative medication (amitryptaline) and roll the dice to see if that works. I am not happy with that because I don't want to be on a medication that alters my brain chemistry. For breakthrough pain she said go the the ER, which is not a feasible solution. She also referred me to a pain management doctor so that I could get pain control medication. She did refill my one migraine medication but I told her that my insurance was going to require pre-auth before it was filled. She said that the pharmacy will just contact her and she'll do the pre-auth then. Why not do it before and not waste more time, especially when she knew I had no meds? Now I have to leave the country and suffer if I happen to get one. Wait time was about half an hour past my appointment; the rooms were full of people ahead of me (approximately 5). This made me very late for getting back to work. The 4 stars reflects Dr. Jahan and her staff. I liked them a lot, but I will not be able to return to this practice since she made it abundantly clear that the care I need will not be provided by her.

I found Sheila for my uncle whom lives in VA for help. Dr. Sheila was totally unprofessional, rude,…read moreunhelpful. All she was interested in was to keep charging my uncle's insurance. Things could've been done in one appointment she would stretch out to 3 or 4 so she could bill insurance more. She is an unethical and terrible doctor. I will be reporting her to the board. Stay away from her.

Never have I been happier to have missed an appointment (huge slowdown on the highway due to an…read moreaccident). Thankfully, I was late enough that they had to reschedule my initial consultation. I say "thankfully" because I quickly found out that Integrated Neurology Services' billing department is entirely incompetent. When I first called to schedule my appointment, I gave them my full insurance member ID and insurance provider name, they supposedly checked my insurance info, and assured me that they accept my insurance. Turns out, they do not. If I had made it to my appointment on time, that SINGLE initial consultation would have cost $350. Completely unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs.

I was shocked, but too distracted about my impending diagnosis. Unfortunately, the MD brought no comfort as she casually performed an examine and blew me away with the diagnosis of a life-long and progressive condition. She was so uncaring and dismissive. I vowed never to return. I encourage any patient seeking a neurology or movement disorder physician look elsewhere. A weird place.

Dr. Nayak is a complete GODSEND - he literally saved my life! When other doctors/physicians…read moredismissed my ongoing excruciating pain, Dr. Nayak was able to diagnose my condition right away and set up a plan that made more than perfect sense. I was admitted the same day, was able to be monitored overnight and be provided pain management, and had the surgery scheduled the following day - I am now pain-free, and I just can't thank Dr. Nayak enough! The front staff as well as the assistants/nurses are all so friendly, kind, and welcoming - I was also able to be squeezed in for an appointment, which really never happens with a specialist; the amount of compassion and empathy that this office has is amazing. All my follow-ups have been wonderful, and the office is very responsive in answering any questions/concerns. and/or providing refills on medication(s). If you're looking for a neurosurgeon, there is only one doctor you should be trying to get an appointment with, and that's Dr. Nayak. He is extremely kind, provides a breakdown of everything, answers all your questions, has the best bedside manners, is an expert, and he holds all these accolades/awards/recognitions. I was in great hands, and you will be, too! He is literally the BEST neurosurgeon, EVER! You won't regret seeing Dr. Nayak - I guarantee it!!! +ask for Dr. Nayak - he is the absolute best!!! +friendly staff +located at VHC +paid garage parking

I cannot speak to other surgeons, but I can about Dr. Kader…read more Do not use Dr. Kader as your surgeon. Though I was recommended a different surgeon, Dr. Murry, I went with Kader to get the surgery done before the 2016 year was out. I paid for that mistake. Kader made no major slipups, but in doing the C5-C6 fusion he ended up tightening the spaces around the foramina, the places where the nerves traveling to the arms and back exit the spine - even though I had told Kader that I was an active amateur musician, and that playing was a big part of my life. Within two weeks after the surgery I started noticing symptoms down my arms and into my hands that were not there before the surgery. Except for brief periods, they did not go away, and slowly grew worse and worse. Kader refused to see any problem and only told me to take more drugs - even a year and a half after the surgery. Finally, my pain doctor recommended Dr, Ellegala of Sonospine. Three months ago he opened up the spaces that Kader closed, and my hands already feel stronger and more dexterous than they have in years. Ellagala's surgery technique isn't covered by insurance, and I had to pay $30K, but he fixed Kader's bungle, so it was worth it. But I'd rather not have had to pay it in the first place. When you pick a surgeon, you want someone who is committed to doing the best he or she can for you. Abraham Kader is not that surgeon, so he is not the surgeon you want. Go with Murry if you can.

I did not have a good experience working with Dr. Charlotte Kastl. Other people in her same office…read morewere pleasant and helpful. Dr. Kastl was uninformed in her own field, didn't communicate with people in her own office, and was dismissive and unprofessional. If you have chronic illness(es), you tend to be on the lookout for medications that are effective as well as symptoms and diagnoses from others with similar ailments. When I asked Dr. Kastl about a medication that others found helpful, she had "never heard of it" (end of conversation). When I had an appointment with another doctor in the office, Laura A Cinski (who was wonderful), I described my symptoms and asked if it could be a type of migraine I'd read about. She said that sounded exactly right and we talked about treatment. When my next appointment was back with Dr. Kastle, I told her about that type of migraine, she had "never heard of it" (end of conversation). When I had an appointment with the nurse practitioner in the office, Leandra S Armstead (who was also wonderful), she modified my prescription for one medication to take regularly as a preventative (I also have a second medication that's taken at the onset of pain). Unfortunately, it didn't work well so I messaged the office about it and asked for a refill of the medication that I take at pain onset. For some reason, the prescription request did not make it to my pharmacy. It's happened on occasion - one time I know the pharmacy's system went down for an hour and that happened to coincide with when my prescriptions were sent. I followed up with Dr. Kastl when the pharmacy never got the refill authorization and she would not believe me. She accused me of abusing pain medication. I even gave her a screenshot of the last refill date and asked her to contact the pharmacy for verification. She refused to do anything and gave me a very holier-than-thou speech about her duty as a doctor. It was a really horrible experience. If you're someone who has chronic pain, it's just mind-boggling and disheartening when a doctor gaslights you, blames you, or shames you for needing help managing your pain. Unless you really like that %^$&, don't see Dr. Kastl. P.S. Any doctor who tells you not to do your own research probably has delusions of grandeur. In today's world where so much information is at our fingertips and we can reach out to people around the world who have the same health issues, it's ludicrous not to take advantage of that. Granted, you probably shouldn't do most of your health-based research at Betty's Holistic Health Emporium of Crystals and Essential Oils (my apologies to Betty if this is a real thing), but there are good resources out there and you deserve a doctor who says "Let's look into it," rather than rolling their eyes at you.

The most terrible Neurologist I have encountered in 20 years with a chronic condition…read more First, he is not up to date with treatments and possible medication combos. Second he interrupted me every two seconds, and word and was extremely condescending. He was literally laughing out loud at me when I said that I have problems sleeping with the c-pap sleep mask and said exactly this: "You're telling me here for a whole hour how unwell you feel due to lack of sleep, but you are not willing to sacrifice a little?!" Eh thanks doc, but it is not that I chose to be not able to sleep with the mask on - I simply CAN'T. And I had paid YOU to find a solution, but you weren't doctor enough to do so. At the end, before I left, he told me that it was all in my mind and that I am setting myself up for failure. What a great and understanding doctor.... NOT. Oh, and he also claimed that I never told him about a certain medication that I am taking, which was untrue, because I had told him about it in my first visit. I had it actually all spelled out to him, but if he wasn't so busy talking and joking instead of listening, he might have heard me say it. After 20 years with a chronic illness, I have become a pro at doing my homework, and I know how to do "doctor shopping", aka finding the best doctors in my area. And he is definitely non my list to keep, nor will I recommend him to anyone I know. A shame that he still works at Neurology Associates of Reston.
