After waiting an hour past our appointment time, he spent approximately 5 minutes (NOT kidding) with us. He came in the room, said "any headaches" (to which my son responded "yes"), with Dr. Reichert's response of "I'm not doing surgery because you don't need it." Didn't bring up his MRI results or discuss them, didn't talk about any of his structural abnormalities, didn't ask "how are you," didn't listen to any concerns, didn't ask if we had questions, kept tapping on the exam table - slouched and leaning back in the office chair - completely unprofessional, cocky, disrespectful, NO bedside manners, treated us like we didn't know anything (I myself have a medical degree as an NP), didn't even assess my son(!), opened the door, and walked us out of the room. I would NEVER recommend this provider to absolutely anyone. I have no idea who would rate him so highly, but I really hope that you look to other providers to have an understanding of what one would be like if they had their patient as the focus of attention, during an office visit that I am paying for, related to a pretty significant issue.

Not what I expected. Exceeded my expectation…read more I had to complete and bring some paperwork (medical history, etc.) and a CD with two CT scans. I thought it better to submit them prior to the app't so the Dr. might have a chance to review BEFORE my visit. How could he go through all that and the scans during the app't, which I expected to be 15-20 minutes? The doctor saw me within 10-15 minutes of my appointment time and spent over 45 minutes speaking (and listening) to me, doing a brief physical exam, and then reviewing, in detail, the CT scans of my cervical and lumbar regions. He didn't review the scan in advance. He spent the time to review them with me. I was not there to proceed with any particular action or surgery. I was there to CONSULT and strategize whether to take action now (I'm 67), or wait some years, maybe 10 or whatever, to live with my ongoing condition/s (I've had a discectomy and fusion already) and take action at some later date. Dr. King understood all that, and considering the complete Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) I have, he recommended we take a wait and see approach on the surgery. He did refer me to Dr. Doniparthi in the Pain Management clinic to again CONSULT the possibility of an injection or trigger point therapy. (I have seen her more than once before and had injections before). I did follow up with her the very next day and her assessment was basically the same - no assurance that any injection would help... might help, might not. So... wait and see as long as I could continue to function as is. I was very pleased that I was listened to, that a conservative approach was considered and taken, and will return to Dr. King, if and when, I deteriorate to needing some intervention.

I have ups and downs with the Neurology at the UW Hospital. It's a Level 4 Epilepsy hospital (I…read morethink one of only 3 in WI) so the equipment is top notch and the doctors are very well-trained and extremely knowledgeable, so you really can't beat that. The issue is the ratio of patients to doctors is so oversaturated that it's tough to get 100% of the care you need and pretty tough to get an appointment -sometimes 4-6 months. Most end up being virtual video appointments in order to get through the long line, but it can be a nice option if you live further. The scheduling team is definitely on-the-ball calling patients on the cancelation list. If you catch the call right away you can probably get a sooner appointment! The Neurology team is relatively fast at replying to MyChart messages, which is awesome! If something is really pressing and you're willing to wait on hold, you may be able to reach a nurse via phone too. I give them 4 stars though because if you stress that things are really starting to effect the quality of life; the doctors are quick to order MRIs, PETs and studies. I did a 6 day stay in the EMU and the care of the attending doctors, RNs, MAs, PAs and techs was nothing short phenomenal. The EMU is a pretty miserable place but the teamwork, communication and care was fantastic. Top-notch equipment. Lovely room. Really great food, everything can be ordered in advance via an iPad. I've worked with Dr. Felton, Dr. Gardon, Dr Laquer and Therese Aschkenase NP. All in all, there are big pros and cons to UW Neurology but it's the best care you're going to find as long as you're patient for appointments!

In full transparency, my review is of my experience trying to see Dr. Robbins because,…read moredisappointingly, I never made it past a terrible experience with his staff. I've been managing a post-traumatic headache for over a year. The neurologist I've seen regularly recommended that I try a headache specialist after exhausting other available options. Dr. Robbins was one of the recommendations he made. I called in early November and was greeted with a brusque, "Doctor's Office" by the person who answered the phone. After clarifying that I had called the correct office, I explained that I was a new patient calling to request an appointment. She asked if I wanted an appointment with the nurse practitioner or the doctor. I explained my history, unsure of what the correct answer would be without any context. She acknowledged I should see the doctor and then told me their first available appointment was January 14. I expected a wait. And I realize Dr. Robbins is apparently a good doctor, which translates to being busy. But when you've had a headache for almost 500 days, waiting another two and a half months feels intolerable. I agreed to the January 14 appointment, figuring I would find a way to make it work and that it would be worth it. Until. Until. Until the office called me back and told me Dr. Robbins would now be out of the office on January 14 and would need to reschedule me. For a later date. Are you effing kidding me? I hope other people have better luck. I provided full availability to them, willing to bend over backwards to get some relief from this headache that's been plaguing me. It's disappointing that their customer service is so poor and more disappointing that I would be penalized for a change in the doctor's schedule after waiting 10 weeks to be seen.

However I have to say that Dr. Baskaya, who operated on and cared for my mother in the spring of 2011, consistently impressed me as having that rare quality - - rarest of all in a surgeon - - humility. The other thing that struck me about seeing him at work over the course of a week or more, was that his staff adores him. I would not hesitate to place myself or any of my loved ones in his care. Since he's a neurosurgeon, I hope that doesn't happen, of course, but should the need arise, he will be my first choice.

Whoa! What a horrible experience I just had with Dr. Khan's office. In April, I called to set up…read moremy first appointment with the doctor. His office said he had none available until July 29th, then not until late August. Because I have a timely issue I need addressed, I took the appointment 3.5 months into the future, and rescheduled my planned vacation. Fast forward to today... The doctor's office left me a message that Dr. Khan would not be in the office on July 29th (I guess he schedules his own vacations less in advance than I do), and I would have to reschedule my July appointment. When I contacted Brittany, Northwest Urology's receptionist, she told me they were booked through mid-October -- six months after I scheduled my original appointment. When I told Brittany that was unacceptable, and that I would need an appointment in June or July, she took an attitude. She had the temerity to blame ME for taking the appointment her office would ultimately cancel by saying, "You didn't HAVE to reschedule your vacation. You could have taken the August appointment!" I asked her to have an administrator or Dr. Khan call me himself to reschedule prior to August, but all Brittany could muster in a sarcastic way was, "I hope you have a NICE day!" I'm actually glad this happened. While writing bad reviews on several sites for Dr. Khan's office, I discovered Dr. Khan has a number of one and two star reviews. One site (maybe it's this one), had him rated with only 2.9 stars (before my review). Whether Brittany is rude to all of the doctor's patients, or if Dr. Khan is a poor doctor, is of no matter to me anymore. Going here for treatment and entrusting my brain to this guy and his office help is ALREADY a dicey proposition! If I could leave a 0 star review, I would.

Fast forward to 2023 and he did an extension of my fusion. I knew something was wrong when fentanyl was not helping the pain. I did a second and third opinion and based on multiple imaging reports found out that Dr Dagam placed the screws too deep thus they were pushing into my spinal column and had cut rods from my previous surgery. In March of this year I underwent an extensive surgery removing the old, misplaced hardware and had it all replaced and extended due to the damage.
