I have been to a few neurologists in the area and this is the best. I've seen both Dr. Schneider and ARNP Dawn Rush-Wilde. They never make me feel rushed and always listen to my concerns. The office staff is also helpful and nice. I know that several staff members are bilingual, but speak English very clearly. If you're looking for a neurologist, I highly recommend this office.

I saw Dr Sivakolundu for the first time yesterday and he did more for me in one appointment then my previous neuro did in 6 months. I feel blessed to have found him and totally trust my care in his hands.
