Haven't heard back from the doctor and would like to hear from him to see if he knows anything different to tell me.

Spend more time with your patients...even if they are healing and doing good. Not worth the gas to spend 3 minutes with a doctor

Dr Palys was more knowledgeable than any other doctor I have seen regarding my problem. I also a young female resident (I forgot her name) but I was really impressed with her knowledge and personality. My own doctor has suggested I make the change from another specialist to this Neurologist today. Thank you.
