    Wonderful man. My daughter has autism. He is very respectful of her condition and actually listened to me about what upsets her. I really appreciate that.

    I will never be able to tell anyone how much I appreciate all the help I get from Dr Newman. Always willing to explain again if I need it and still trying to help figure out the next step.

    He explained the process of the next step we'll, but didn't listen to the fact that I had just been injured by a bad seizure, and needed medical care from that before going through with the test. He didn't care about the patient. Just money it seemed, and I wasn't physically capable in position to go through with the test. Then supposedly they called and set me up an appointment for this 4 day test, yet I didn't get it from anyone, so they canceled me out, as if I'm the bad guy. My whole purpose was to get OFF medication. NOT go switching on to other kinds but taking just as many pills. That's not my goal. So if they can't do that, there's no sense in getting me back in. I want to get down to 0-3 pills, and same with seizures per month.
