    Dr. Brockmeyer was friendly and has explained my mild Chiari in an easily understandable manner and answered all my questions. He went over my mri images and took his time with me. I left feeling well cared for.

    See previous comments. Genuinely felt that he knew of my issue and its impact on me.

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    Dr. Brockmeyer is just what I was looking for in a neurosurgeon specializing in my condition (Chiari I). He was very patient and courteous, but at the same time demonstrated a concern for a timely response to me with regard to my imaging (MRI) forwarded from my local Dr. His timely response was a surprise to me given the fact that he is a nationally recognized expert and other in my peer group have told me it has taken months for a surgeon to get back to them. I very much recommend this Dr. as a place to get a second (or first) opinion. If I decide to go the surgical route, I will provide feedback on that at that time.

    Most scatterbrained doctor we've ever met. Couldn't follow what I was saying. Didn't communicate well. Contradicted himself at times.
