Dr. Newman is the best, truly. He's super nice and respectful as a person, and always includes me in my treatment plan. He's always there to answer my questions or concerns. He's been the best Doctor.
Doctor Newman is always extremely respectful of time. He was 8 minutes early joining our scheduled call and he never rushes us while we're explaining our concerns. This is a great relief as parents of a child who's having medical issues. It is always a great experience when working with Dr. Newman and his office and we're grateful he is [NAME REMOVED] neurologist. Thank you for everything.
Excellent Dr. [TRANSLATED]
He takes the tile to answer questions. That's great since I have tons of questions about my RNS device that was done in [DATE REMOVED}. Still getting used to it.
My English is very limited and he doesn't speak Spanish, but he tries to explain everything in any way we can understand. My respects to him, a very good doctor. [TRANSLATED]
It felt today Dr Newman was in such a rush in my appointment today. I felt like it was a 3 min appointment and before he left I asked is my VNS battery still okay? He usually is not like that he usually takes his time and makes sure all is good. He is a good Doctor.
Dr. Newman met me, listened to my seizure history. Suggested we look into more tests to see if surgery could be an option. Turned out it was. My prior drs. Never discussed any other treatment options except continue with my meds that weren't stopping seizures I didn't even detect were happening myself. Testing lead to me realizing first I was having more seizures then I knew. Then he made me comfortable enough to explore surgery information. He always made me feel like he was listening to me, my feelings, apprehension. Then educated me, and let me wait and make a decision without pushing me in any way. With his help, caring, education, I trusted him and the surgeon, ended up having a surgery, now 1.5 years seizure free. Yahoo So I'd say he paid attention to my particular situation, by listening and having the knowledge to get the right test to find a solution. Not just throw pills to the problem, as I had for 14 years. Thank you for your knowledge. [NAME REMOVED]
He is amazing.
I've told a couple of people how the kepra that Dr Newman started to give me how much it's helped me and for how long I haven't had any seizures, this year would already be 6 years.
