    The PA (Nuri) and NP (Stephanie) were both very kind, comforting, and informative. I appreciate their guidance and care. Dr Makari was phenomenal. As a first-time parent, visiting a neurologist (which honestly is terrifying) my anxiety and nerves were high - Dr. Makari's level of care was beyond my expectations. He was informative, gentle, kind, and created a safe and calming space. He was detailed and descriptive, being sure to explain his reasoning for questions and examinations and how his observations affected his diagnosis/treatment plan. He was professional and personable, giving a sense of comfort and ease. I could not have asked for a better experience during an emotional time.

    Dr. Makari is amazing. My daughter and I were impressed. He explained things in a manner in which she could understand. She commented how she wished she started with him years ago.
