Sounds like it's time to get a second opinion from another neurologist. If he isn't going to listen to a patient needs, he will never help that patient.

I rate mine as excellent. He is the first and only one who has been able to get my seizures under control since 2009. The last time I met him in person was 2015 if I remember correctly. We thoroughly went over my latest MRI and he showed me the scar tissue on my frontal lobe that is likely the cause, he was also a major factor in getting me on disability. Now I have a yearly check-up with the NP in his office, the last one was over the phone because of covid. My meds are always current and if I ever need to speak to anyone it's only a matter of making a phone call. It wasn't always this way for me, it took many years to get here.

That's awful absolutely get a new doctor indeed, how awful

When I answered with my message further up, I was thinking backwards. Thinking 10 was the best and 1 the worst.

So my answer should of been a #2. Not #9

In comparison to what I dealt with before my current Neurologist diagnosed me correctly, I have to say he is EXCELLENT and I rate him as a 1. I knew from the 1st visit that he understood my symptoms, he asked questions that the other neurologists did not; questions that I could relate to. I can call or email the office and get a response within a couple of hours, whether from the Doctor directly or through his assistant, which is also awesome. I have to say, I got lucky. We still have regular virtual visits every 12 months, or more frequent if I need to speak with him.

I am sorry you are experiencing this, I left one of my 1st neurologists because I felt like I was just a number and all they did was write prescriptions. 😞
