Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.September 28, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain is the best neurologist I've ever seen! Trust me, I've been to a lot of them. He shows deep concern for his pt's and will get the info you need , and the amazing care that we deserve as pt's. I am very excited to continue my neuro journey with him and his staff.
September 05, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERVery nice and helpful and listened to me and answered all my questions
July 24, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDesde que el doctor Amir trata a nuestra hija, ella ha estado mucho mejor, y con mejor salud qué antes, nosotros agradecemos a el por su atención, y lo recomendamos ampliamente.
July 17, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERThe doctor dismissed my concerns almost immediately. He wouldn't listen to me or my concerns and repeatedly asked me if I was going to Therapy and seeing a psychiatrist. He made me feel like my symptoms were fake and didn't matter. I would not recommend this provider to anyone especially any females.
July 04, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERWe trust Dr Arain to care for Clint and all his needs. He never talks down nor does he speak in medical terms Clint doesn't understand. We trust him, we like him and wouldn't think of seeing another Doctor for [NAME REMOVED].
July 03, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI like how he truly knows what is going on with my brain and tells me what is the best outcome.
June 28, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERIt was an exceptional experience. I did not anticipate that he would be as generous with his time, be as thorough, or as understanding. He provided me with confidence in my care and treatment. I trust him.
June 25, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERMuy buen doctor siempre contestando las preguntas que hago
June 20, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain is a spectacular physician and the first neurologist my son has seen who immediately wanted to focus on improving my son's quality of life and seeking surgical alternatives when it became clear medication alone could not control his seizures. I am so grateful for his belief in my son and his focus on giving him more options for a healthy life.
