    Dr. Cliatt-Brown has been great to work with. In a very difficult specialty to have to be revealing diagnoses to her patients, she has been great with my wife. I do all her appointment coordination, email, MyChart stuff because of her diagnosis. In all of this, one thing that sticks out is that my wife feels cared about by her doctor. We feel the U is lucky to have Dr. Cliatt-Brown as a part of the neurology practice.
