He was calm, thorough and reassuring, listened carefully, arranged urgent tests and an MRI, and promptly diagnosed IIH. Treatment has significantly improved my symptoms. He continues to monitor my condition and reassure me when I worry about symptoms returning. I am grateful for his kindness and ongoing care. Highly recommended!
