We want you to know what you can expect during the initial visit and what will be required from you.
A Different Kind of Neurological Consult
Neurological patients often require extra time and attention, particularly when the condition is complicated and/or requires review of extensive medical information. This is in contrast to the limited time neurologists allocate to each patient encounter these days in almost all settings – private and academic.
Dr. Frank developed his special approach to patients appreciating this glaring problem and striving to provide neurological patients with the time they need from an experienced academic neurologist to:
- fully understand their clinical problems
- approach their issues comprehensively with a holistic mindset
- facilitate the necessary coordination of each patient’s healthcare team to affect the best outcome
