I'm still very happy with Dr. Aubrechtova. I know she is very invested in my migraine management. My insurance no longer covers Botox, which I've been on for more than a decade. Botox had effectively managed my migraines that entire time. But without it they came back with a vengeance. We've had to go through 3 different medications to find a new one that works. I'm happy to say that this final one is working pretty well. We're still watching things. I'm confident that we'll get the final perfect solution soon. I hate my insurance! But I'm glad that I have Dr. Aubrechtova in my corner. read more

I was looking for a different neurologist who was open to complementary treatments. When I saw that Dr Aubrechtova was certified in acupuncture, I decided on her. Personally, I found her to be lovely. She has a very calm presence. If you are expecting a "chatty Cathy", you won't get that with her. I felt as if she was studying me, watching me, analyzing me... a "thinker". She spent almost an hour with me. I never once felt rushed. We worked as a team. I'm looking for a neurologist to have a "relationship" with and those take time. My condition (TN) will hang with me for the rest of my life. We changed my medication after discussing options. I had to ask her to repeat a couple of times due to the language difference, but that did not bother me in the least. My Texas accent can be challenging sometimes too. I would certainly recommend Dr. Aubrechtova and plan to go back. Regarding the bad reviews, sometimes I think we just be a little nicer to our health care providers and cut them some slack. read more

Rude and unprofessional is one thing (which she was) but I get that some people have abrasive personalities and that doesn't necessarily make them unqualified. Dr. Aubrechtova just also happens to be unqualified, callous and dangerously egocentric. She does not listen to her patients, to the point where she will ignore symptoms if they don't fit her initial diagnosis and will even continue to pursue ineffective treatment rather than admit misdiagnosis. She is condescending to the point of disdain. Whatever her reasons were, this is very clearly someone who did not enter the medical industry for altruistic reasons. In summary: steer clear. read more

I was referred to Dr. Aubrechtova after having a horrible experience at another neurologist in town. From the start, it was very clear that while she was entirely a professional she truly cared about what was going on and listened to what I had to say with an objective point of view. It's absurd to me that anyone would post here that they couldn't understand her European accent; she is entirely well spoken and clearly the people on this page have never left the general Austin area -- the sort of people who wouldn't even understand an East Texas accent. Forget those reviews if that's a concern to you. I did not feel over diagnosed or like she was quick to write any prescriptions without professional reason. I feel entirely confident in our plan moving forward and feel like I've had a fresh breath of air after my last poor experience at another location with a different neurologist. Hands down, I would recommend her if you're looking for someone who is professional, empathetic, objective, and a generally top-notch neurologist in her field. She will take the time to assess your situation and make an informed decision and game plan. If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more

Dr. Aubrechtova has been my Doctor for over five years. I can trust and rely on her which makes me a happy loyal client. She takes time to speak with me and listens to my ideas and answers all of my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Aubrechtova! read more

I am extremely confused by the actions of Dr. Aubrechtova. On my first visit, I would give her 5 stars. She spent time with me, thoroughly checked all of my symptoms and gave me a prescription with the correct dosage, plus the best time to take it when the symptoms usually appeared. To this day, because of her knowledge and skills I am "cured" of this serious problem (along with the correct meds and no side effects). Then I had a fall, which I later learned compounded a previous fall. She said she looked at the MRI and prescribed non-narcotic pain meds which did nothing. (I ended up in the emergency room 7 times because of only one of many ER doctors who correctly diagnosed me and sent me for surgery. Those ER doctors would not admit me and did not listen either). I called Dr. Aubrechtova's office and cancelled my appointment when I was told I needed to go to the ER again (6th visit). I also left a message with the front desk and another voice message with her nurse. Dr. Aubrechtova was in contact with me when I was in the Emergency Room on a stretcher and sounded defensive and angry stating that I should do as she prescribed only and keep my appointment. When I told her that I could hardly walk, she said she had a patient and hung up. To top in off, I was sent a notice that I owed her $35 for not cancelling my appointment! The front desk manager was able to take care of this charge and I was told to make sure I received written confirmation of any cancellations in the future. She took care of matters and I appreciate the fact that she took over and gave the best advice she could; although there were records that I had called and cancelled. End of story: Finally, I could not walk. Found a good surgeon and there was much that did not show on the MRI. Surgery was almost 4 hours instead of 1. I can now walk, am still in rehab but healing. I thank Dr. Aubrechtova for her previous diagnosis and treatment, but she fell short of an equally serious matter, along with losing her temper. There's more. The $35 non-show has not made it to the billing office in another state and I am now being threatened with non-payment. I think the office manager will take care of this but how many times do I have to do their job because the doctor appears to be vindictive that I went ahead and had surgery when she wanted to medicate me. read more

I would give Dr. Aubrechtova 0 stars if it was possible. Not only was she 45 minutes late to my appointment (after the office called me over 5 times to confirm my appt time), but her ignorance about Type 1 Diabetes was impressive for a doctor who was recommended to me for diabetic neuropathy. She asked me the following questions: "What is your blood sugar usually?" and "Have you ever experienced hypoglycemia?" and "What is your diet? Do you not monitor your sugar intake?" and "If you have an insulin pump, why are you having hyperglycemia?" Her ignorance was really painful, and I answered to the best of my abilities, but I will not be returning to her. I tried to answer her first question about my blood sugars by giving her my most recent A1C, but she did not understand what that meant because she "is not an endocrinologist and doesn't work with diabetics." read more

She failed to diagnosis my dad's Parkinson's for two years even though my mom had been relaying the symptoms associated with Parkinson's to her for that exact amount of time, a family friend who is retired from speech pathology finally suggested it was Parkinson's, and when my mom brought up that concern with Dr. Aubrechtova she actually laughed in my mom's face and accused her of spiraling down the WebMD rabbit hole. We consulted with his surgeon (this all started after he had surgery for esophageal cancer) and she believes he does have Parkinson's and has had Parkinson's this whole time. For two years we thought he'd just given up on getting better and let himself sink into a depression so bad it atrophied his body, but it was fucking Parkinson's. The damage this woman has done to my family is insurmountable, and we aren't sure what recovery will look like for my dad since he's been diagnosed so late in the game. I truly hope this person has her medical license revoked and lives a long life- so that when she gets older and starts having medical problems she can feel what it's like to have a doctor laugh in her face while she's in terrible pain and tell her it's nothing. read more

Dr Aubrehtova Rocks she's been the only dr who had correctly diagnosed my Parkinson's and started me moving again! She is thoughtful and methodical she has given me back my life. Thanks doc! read more

I would give this doctor zero stars if I could. I went to see Dr Aubrechtova on Friday, 2/5/21 for what appeared to be an intractable migraine. Of course I wasn't sure of the condition, as I have never had a migraine before. Dr Aubrechtova lacked even the most basic professional competence. - She did not review my records before the visit and suggested that my symptoms were due to appendicitis (as they included some abdominal pain), even though appendicitis had already been ruled out twice by other providers. - Even though I had been experiencing a persistent visual aura for 3 days, suggesting an intractable migraine, Dr Aubrechtova did not advise taking any rescue medication to end the current migraine. When I insisted that I needed to end the current migraine because it was disrupting my vision, she stated that the correct treatment for migraine was prevention with supplements. - Before discussing any actual medications Dr Aubrechtova recommended that I take a dietary supplement called Dolovent which contains megadoses of vitamin B2 and magnesium. She emphasized several times that it was desirable to take this supplement (which I believe she sells in her office, and which does not seem to be available in pharmacies) because "research" supports the supplement and the supplement does not contain any food additives. Now, of course I am not a medical doctor, but it seems suspicious to me that her first recommendation for my treatment would be a supplement from which she could personally profit. Also, while again I am not a medical doctor, I do have a PhD and a strong understanding of statistics and experimental design. When I looked for research about this supplement online, none of the double-blinded studies of the supplement demonstrated a significant effect. It seems very unethical to me to recommend a supplement that doesn't have an evidence base, to misrepresent the evidence base, and especially to profit from marketing that supplement. Unfortunately, since I saw on Dr Aubrechtova's website that she has a board certification in acupuncture, I am not surprised that she recommended another pseudo-scientific treatment for me and misrepresented the science about it. - When I insisted that I needed medication and not only supplements to stop the persistent visual aura, Dr Aubrechtova advised me to start 3 new prescription medications without advising me on possible side effects or how they could interact with my already prescribed medications. - Among the 3 new medications she recommended, Dr Aubrechtova stated that I needed to start taking 2 new prescription medications for migraine prevention daily, even though I have never had a migraine before this week. I will not be seeing this doctor again and I think others should be aware of this behavior if they are going to see her. read more

The most awful experience I have ever had with any doctor. Very unprofessional. If you care about your health please look into a different neurologist. I got a referral for her from my University and when I complained how terrible of an experience I had, my University said that they had received multiple similar complaints about her so that they were going to take her off the Referral List. read more

Dr. Aubrechtova is first rate. I have been seeing her for several years to treat chronic migraines and they are well controlled now. But she doesn't just consider my migraines. I am also a chronic pain patient, and she recommended an antidepressant that could help with the nerve pain. My psychiatrist prescribed it and it did. She also noticed my hypertension and tachycardia, which my other doctors had disregarded,. She said it was so bad she was worried I was going to have a heart attack. She got me started on a beta blocker through my primary care, and I'm feeling much better now - much less stressed and high strung. She takes time to spend with her patients, even if it's just a routine check-in for my migraine medicine refills. The only complaint I would have is that sometimes there is a bit of a wait for her to get to you - but that is probably just because she is spending more time with other patients. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is kind, compassionate, caring, and listens to her patients. 5 stars. read more

I went to Dr. Hana Aubrechtova after a probable TIA mini-stroke. She accurately diagnosed an unrelated problem I was having lifting my foot as I walked. It turns out it was nerve damage from an earlier slip-and-fall. She was smart and deft with a gracious, familiar bedside manner. Easy to talk to. I plan to go back to her for some memory issues. read more

Very hard to understand due to the thick accent and very difficult to believe much that she said. Does not appear to have a lot of depth to her rationality and did not give us much confidence in her abilities as a doctor. Dropped her immediately. Not impressed with the entire office as the setup is very reminiscent of something in the early 1950's. read more

I came to Dr. Aubrechtova because of the good reviews on this site. I wasn't, however, impressed with this doctor. While she might be good for some straight-forward neurological conditions, I wouldn't recommend seeing her for a more complicated one, which was mine. She diagnosed me with a catch-all disease. I hate to speak for everyone, but my experience was that she didn't provide any meaningful answers and wrote me off with what a few other doctors have ended up negating. In addition, Mirroring what Dorothy G. said, she was quick to write me a prescription as opposed to providing any alternatives. I had to initiate the conversation myself about possible side effects with said medication, how it would interact with my current medication, etc., which I was really astonished at (doctors should definitely cover this). I hope this review is helpful for all those other nerve pain sufferers out there! I'd choose someone else.... read more

Like other reviewers, I've had my share of neurologists. Yet, unlike the others, I have to say that this was one of the worst neurologists I've seen. In fact, I'm bewildered by the other reviews I'm seeing here, as the doctor I experienced was so far the opposite of what others are describing that I wonder who they saw. She was very uncaring and unfocused. She wouldn't listen to my description of my symptoms. She spent very little time with me and did not give me the feeling that she cared about my treatment at all. She was very quick to whip out her prescription pad and give me yet another medication to add to my day instead of helping me find some more natural, lifestyle changes that I could make. I would not recommend her to anyone I know. And, in fact, am thinking that I am going to attempt to find a better, more caring doctor myself. Editing previous review to add that I got an MRI done over a week ago. I was to receive the results of it the following day. I am still waiting on Dr. Aubrechtova to call me about what the test indicated. I finally just called my regular doctor and got the results from him, but I think it is inexcusable that this doctor has not chosen to relay important information to me following a test SHE ordered. This is further indicative of the kind of care you can expect to receive from her, it appears. read more

I still see her every 3 or 4 months and she is still top Doctor in her field she i compassionate and knows her stuff and would reccommed her to anyone in need of a Neurological clinic ask for Dr, Hana Aubrechtova you will be glad you did she listens to you , and does not look down o you you is very understanding and will do the best she can to help you, I have seen many Neuro Doctors in Austin and I can tell you know even if she was not on my network I would still see her. read more

Dr.Aubrechtova was very thorough with her examination when I saw her for my bells palsy condition. She explained everything very well and made me feel very comfortable especially as a new patient. I'm on the road to recovery. Thanks Dr.A ! read more

Highly skilled, careful, knowledgeable. I'm a new patient but Dr Aubrechtova inspired complete confidence'

Dr. Aubrechtova has been treating me for chronic migraines since early 2016. My experience in healthcare administration makes me hyper-aware of a clinic's processes and operations (in other words, a clinic's goings-on and happenings): Tell me about the bedside manner of the doctor and medical assistant. How knowledgeable about everyone's insurance benefits are/were the administrative personnel, and are/were they friendly and helpful? As a new patient to Dr. Aubrechtova in early 2016, I was hopeful that her credentials might net me some improvement--any improvement--in my ongoing (lifetime of) migraine drama--in some seasons trauma (Migraine people understand this very well). Side note: Why has it taken me two years to post a review? Because I don't post reviews. I'm making an exception because Dr. Aubrechtova is exceptional (not a trite play at words)--and I realize that there are many fantastic people who do look to reviews to inform their decisions, and who are searching for an exceptional physician. Being a patient is difficult, I know. Being an awesome healthcare professional is also pretty difficult, I know. I also know this: Dr. Aubrechtova has proven herself to be one of the most awesome healthcare professionals I've ever known. Her education, knowledge, experience, and caring make me think she's super human, but then I realize she's really just being a human being, and I know that's ultimately what makes me trust her and depend on her. And, for the record, Dr. Aubrechtova's medical assistant and the clinic's administrative personnel are each and all highly skilled and have impressed me on more than several occasions by going to bat with insurance companies on my behalf (They didn't have to, trust me). read more

My initial appointment with her was okay and I thought she was genuinely interested in helping me, but I was appalled at the way she treated me later on. My health condition suddenly deteriorated to the point where I couldn't walk and my PCP told me to talk to my neuro ASAP. When I called Dr. Aubrechtova, she told me to go to a psychiatrist because she thought I couldn't walk due to depression WITHOUT examining me after my new symptoms developed. First of all, I'm not depressed and second of all, depression doesn't cause people to suddenly not be able to walk. I was so offended by her unprofessionalism and lack of patient care. She should've just humbly said she's not sure what was wrong with me and referred to me another neurologist. No thanks to her, I ended up going to the ER and the neurologist there was more helpful. read more

Dr Aubrechtova has helped me so much the past year. I feel like she cares about me as a person, not just a patient. I've improved so much under her care and direction. Her staff is helpful and always makes me feel welcome and responds quickly. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give negative stars I would! I have spent 30 years searching for the right neurologist and I really thought I had found that in Dr. Aubrectova...I was wrong. It's impossible to make an appointment, the staff never returns phone calls, so after months of trying to get them to answer and return my calls, I finally got in to see her. I disregarded all the other Yelp reviews about her short and abrupt bedside manner as I felt she was good at what she does. I have chronic migraines and was finally ready to explore Botox. The staff submitted my paperwork to insurance in September and had warned me it could take up to 2 months to hear back from insurance. I got a letter of approval from my insurance in November and never heard from Dr. A's office. After many unreturned phone calls, I finally got ahold of the right person in January, two months after my approval letter from my insurance. The staff at her office had me confused with another patient with the same name, never followed up with me, and just dropped the ball on my claim. This was a huge blunder on their part but I overlooked it as I was ready for a relief from the Botox. I got the injections on a Wednesday and by Saturday I was having massive heart palpitations and very high blood pressure, obviously a side effect of the Botox. After talking to several friends and reading a ton of research on the web about this, taking a small dose of Xanax will help with the anxiety of not sleeping at night because of the heart palpitations. I called Dr. A's office first thing Monday morning and asked to see her right away so that she could access the side effects and prescribe Xanax. They said she didn't want to see me, had never heard of these side effects (are you kidding me?), and would NOT prescribe anything for my anxiety and lack of sleep. Wow, this was mind blowing to me. I could ignore her blunt and almost rude bedside manner, the staff that made mistake after mistake, the staff that were HORRIBLE at returning calls, but in my time of panic and need, to have your doctor turn on you like this is unthinkable. Not only will I never have Botox injections again, I will NEVER step foot in her office ever again. What a disappointment she is as a doctor and as a human. I was in pain and suffering and she told me she couldn't help and to go see another doctor for my side effects. Wow, how is this woman allowed to practice? If you can't turn to your doctor in a time of need who can you turn to? read more

I have a long history of Neurologists. I had a stroke almost 10 years ago, and with many moves and insurance changes, I've seen a few. Dr. A is exceptional. And the PA's are no exception. I mainly see Deborah, and she is skilled in managing my Baclofen Pump. There aren't many other patients who go there for pump management, but Deborah knows what she is doing and explains everything in detai, maing SURE you understandl. Dr. A has helped me on several personal issues because there is strong evidence she actually gives a D@MN. I feel comfortable in her office, because it is friendly and laid back (not awfully clinical), and I feel like I'm important, not just a patient to bill their insurance. I have already been diagnosed and am familiar with my condition, so I can't say anything about her diagnostic skills. She shares an office with several other Neuros, one of which is Dr. Morledge, who has extensive experience and won the Texas Monthly magazine Super Doctor award 5 years in a row (2004-09) So I know she has a wonderful coleuge to consult. Who a top doctor chooses to share an office with says much about the other doctor. And, yes, I agree with Carmelia, she is gorgeous. ; ) Watch Dr. A read this and pick on me. read more

I am very fortunate that my wife managed to get me into see Dr. Aubrechtova in late 2013, just in the nick of time. Dr. A diagnosed the cause of my sudden debilitating headaches (and other neurological symptoms) that were incorrectly attributed to migraines by other doctors. Being cautious and examining all the possible explanations, she ordered a test that nobody else did... if not for her actions I wouldn't be here. She always takes the time to listen and as someone else pointed out, her appointments never feel rushed. She takes the time to explain any medication/treatment options, and really cares about her patients. read more

I had the worst experience with this doctor. She initially diagnosed me with multiple sclerosis and my health deteriorated during the six weeks I was under her care. She blamed everything on my anxiety and my new diagnosis. I told her I suspect that I had Lyme disease and that I wanted to get tested and she completely dismissed it, refused to even talk about it. She just prescribed a bunch of medication, I was under 6 different medications under her care and I was not under any medication prior to seeing her. I ended up getting a second opinion and was diagnosed with chronic lyme disease. She was always late over an hour easily to the appointments and appointment time was cut short because she was always running behind. She did not take the time to listen to any concerns when she first diagnosed me with MS all she did was just handed me a book and told me to read it, didn't even bother to go into detail about anything. read more
