CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER 1
I was given very thorough answers to any questions, and also very thorough explanations of what my symptoms might represent as well as the proper course of detecting and treating any possible diagnosis I may receive. I was also treated with respect and felt like I was listened to and taken seriously.

CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER
Just a long wait to begin call and in between the resident dr and Dr Singleton. I did enjoy not having to travel or to have to clean up (I know I am lazy)!!
