I'm in a critical time Where I am working with a second clinic on campus. This requires coordination and a little extra focus. My doctor has been more than responsive and I'm getting additional time and effort. I'm sort of being a squeaky wheel at the moment and everybody's working with me and being very responsive.

Dr. Thulin is the best!! She always goes above and beyond, to assist me. That's saying a lot, because I have a lot of problems. But she tries very hard to help me. Bless her heart! This visit especially, she was so very kind to me. In every way, shape, and form! I am very blessed to have found her and have her to assist me along my way.

I find Dr.Thulin extremely cautious, even, at times, overly cautious and hesitant, before deciding the course of action. Not to say that II personally like her and find her pleasant.

This visit did not go well at all. My doctor was rather rude and was not listening to my concerns. I did not feel heard at all. The medication she prescribed is the only one that helps my disorder and yet she wants me all the way off of it. I feel very frustrated with her.

Dr. Thulin is very business oriented. I don't really feel a personal connection between her and the patient. I trust that she has a deep understanding of Parkinson's, but if we were to need serious attention, I worry that the relationship will not be there.
