Dr DeWitt is exceptional! The ease to communicate our concerns, her explanation of the treatment plan, etc is outstanding. She is always willing to listen to our concerns and explain possible action we can take to address the concern. I highly recommend Dr DeWitt to others and am so grateful that she is our neurologist.
