Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.February 16, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain is very respectful gets straight to the problems that needs to be solved, then if he has different options you can try he explains it and makes sure you understand everything then he takes what I decided to do into action
February 15, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain is an extremely competent and caring clinician. He is very knowledgeable in his specialty
February 09, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERHe listened and made decisions in a good way, in my case time will tell about how things play out.
February 08, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERExam was very thorough. I received a epilepsy diagnosis despite having a clear eeg and mri, so I appreciate that he trusted my related history and used that to provide a diagnosis. However the diagnosis was very unexpected. I had no idea I was having seizures. He didnt really take the time to explain how this will impact my life or even tell me the name of the type of seizures I'm having. Providing patient resources or pointing me to online information would have been helpful. Even a nurse coming in with pamphlets and links to websites would have been appreciated. Maybe they were swamped that day and it was just an off day, but i was left overwhelmed and anxious and didnt know where to go for more info. I'm just glad I have a nurse for a mom and can call her.
February 01, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERMore friendly and personable.
January 18, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr Arain has been the best and most helpful Doctor I have had and is great to work with
December 28, 2023CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr Arain is very solicitous and professional.
December 14, 2023CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain visited my room on I believe December 7th. I would have preferred to have some advance notice of his visit so I might have included family members that might have had questions concerning my testing. Overall I'm very happy with the care and prompt attention to my needs being provided by Dr. Arain. I'm confident that I'm in good hands given developments and unforeseen complications concerning my well being and happiness.
December 14, 2023CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERHe is great and we trust him 10000% in the care of Clint. Clint has autism. and Dr Arain works with him and for him to give him the best possible care and treatment options. Clint trusts him and that isn't always the case with every doctor
