I needed to see a new neurologist and "Dr. A." (as he is…read moreknown), Mourad Abdelmessih MD., at 1916 Tamarack Rd. in Newark, OH was suggested to me by another Yelper, my daughter. Admittedly, I was hesitant to make the drive all the way to Newark. Since I was unfamiliar with Newark, however Yelp provided clear directions to get there by traveling out Dublin-Granville Rd. (Rte. 161) from Columbus. It was encouraging to see that the parking lot had ample provisions for handicapped parking adjacent to the front entrance, where I could easily navigate with my walker. Since I'd already filled out most of the necessary paperwork sent to me, my check-in time was greatly reduced. I had been told earlier that I would feel at ease with Dr. A., and welcome his friendly personality and professional thoroughness in dealing with me as a prospective patient. As I looked around the simple waiting room, I saw the typical magazine rack with contemporary albeit up-to-date reading material, a water fountain with hot and cold water, and unusual wallpaper along the entire wall, that pulled me into the picture that depicted a beautiful relaxing garden setting. From the time of my arrival at Mid-Ohio Neurology, when my wife and I met the receptionist, Heather, at the front window, she was able to allay my anxiety about seing a new Neurologist and my concern that this might mean I would be "starting all over again" after several years with my former doctor. As my wife and I sat in the waiting room, only a few minutes later, my name was called to step onto the Truck Scale and get weighed before following her again to a patient room. I'm certain that Kristy sensed my anxiety when she took my blood pressure. Normally my BP is actually low, but my anxiety, and trepidation about seeing a new Neurologist resulted in a higher reading. She attempted to calm me by asking me about the issues I was having that brought me to see Dr. Abdelmessih. She then commented that I would like "Dr. A." just as my daughter, who set up my appointment, told me, "I would really "love" Dr, A. Then, Kristy told me he would be in shortly, left the room and closed the door. After that happened, my anxiety and tremors jumped into high gear. My wife tried to help me calm me. It's pretty obvious to my wife that I get anxious and my tremors increase when meeting a new doctor about my Parkinson's. Well, that's why I'm here! I would have been willing to wait 30 mins. or longer for the doctor to come in, but it was only a minute or so before he walked in. Mispronouncing his name, he laughed, which helped put me more at ease, yet I quickly asked if I could call him Dr. A. He told me, "Of course you can and probably should after butchering his name the way I had." Again, I relaxed a little more. Then he proceeded to talk to me about my issues, about my life, and then conducted more tests within my examination. By this time, I was putty in his very capable hands. We discussed meds I was taking and asked if my wife and I thought they were working. He seemed to have all the time in the world to conduct his examination and talk to us. This was just what I needed. By the end of his examination, nearly an hour long, he provided his diagnosis, his medical plan of action and prognosis. My wife and I were very relieved, yet surprised that he didn't look at things that had already been done, but instead started with a clean slate. Wow! That's just what we hoped would happen. He told us how he was planning to wean me from medications that were not working as they should and introduce me to prescription for a new medicine that I'd never tried before. Then, he said he wanted to see me again in one month, rather than the typical four-month followup I was used to. Before leaving he asked us if we had any other questions and said if I had any problems, be sure to call me. I thanked him and as we were making my next appointment with Heather, Alexis, another M.A. talked to us and gave me a 30 day supply of samples of the new medicine. Alexis told us, that Dr. A. didn't want me to pay for a medicine that I was uncertain whether it would work or not. On the way back to our car, my wife and I looked at each and said, "I like this guy!" If you are looking for a Neurologist who will take the time to investigate your issues, treat you as someone who is working with your doctor in the same team, and demonstrate professional attention to your personal Neurological issues; Diabetic Neuropathy, M.S., memory loss, migraines, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's Disease, or another Neuroligical disorder, Dr. A. at Mid-Ohio Neurology is the man to see.

Unfortunately I have a serious, rare migraine condition, as well as another neurological condition…read morethat has taken me on a long journey throughout which the Neurologists, Physicians' Assistants, Nurses and other staff at Columbus Neurology and Neurosurgery, aka OhioHealth Neurological Physicians, have accompanied me the whole way. Dr. William Carroll is my neurologist and I would definitely give him five stars. I love this man. He has saved my life and given me back a quality of life I had given up on ever having again. When other doctors had accused me for years of faking, of drug seeking and of just malingering, Dr. Carroll never gave up until we had a diagnosis. After that, he has refused to give up until we had the right regimen of medications and lifestyle changes to give me my life back. He has a very dry sense of humor and is very soft spoken so if you aren't paying attention you may miss what he says or take him the wrong way, but he truly seems to care. I feel like Drs Simensky, Novak, Bruns and Klatte are of the same cloth. I have had to be admitted quite a bit and when these doctors are on call, they all have awesome bedside manner and make sure I get what I need to get back under control and back home as soon as possible, while making sure all my questions are answered well. Dr. Novak has also done all of my EMGs and he is very patient with the fact that I ask a lot of questions. He is also very gentle. The nurses and office staff have always been awesome at helping me with any messages I've needed to leave, getting prescription refills and all the ridiculous paperwork my previous employer required as well as the recent paperwork I needed for my current employer. Abby and Ashley at the front desk are the best and have even helped me out with things I have needed for my own patients at work. Travis, Dr. Carroll's newest nurse, is very prompt and quickly returns my calls and answers emails and messages, making sure to keep me informed of the progress he's making whether it be a refill, paperwork or a referral. The only complaint I have had is that Dr. Nayak is very unpleasant and rude. She's the only reason I couldn't bring myself to give 5 stars. Her answer to everything is that I am fat. That is exactly how she puts it too and she's not exactly svelte herself. She's very impatient. I have always been told to utilize the answering service to contact the on call physician due to the nature of some of the things going on with me and because I am at increased risk for stroke, but if Dr,. Nayak is on call, she very rarely will return my call and if she does it is several hours later. She has made it very clear to me from our very first meeting that she feels like I am a huge waste of her time. I have spoken to other people who have had similar experiences with her and when I have been in the hospital a lot of times the nurses on the floor said they didn't like dealing with her either. If I needed something that required calling the MD while she was on duty, there were a couple on instances where nurses would wait until she was gone and another doctor was on call to take care of it, even if it meant leaving me suffering. I often recommend this office to my patients who are looking for a neurologist or neurosurgeon. They even have physicians who do neuropsychology as well as pain management doctors. Simply an awesome bunch of folks!

Dr. Ahmad Anouti MD.is the single worse neurologist in this city and maybe the state!!! Firstly he…read morehas absolutely no compassion for his patients, and his competence is questionable at best. I was unfortunate enough to have to see him due to insurance for the last two years and have had enough. He changes my medications at will with no discussion or appointment, and that is when he writes the right ones. Most months getting the medication I need for a serious condition is like drawing the lottery. I can never tell what is going to happen. There have been more than ten instances where I had to argue with his nursing staff about which medicine I am on because the doctor doesn't always look at my chart to see what he has prescribed, and then when his nurses pull my records and show him, he still argues with his own notes and refuses to admit he made a mistake, leaving me with the wrong medicine for an entire month not knowing what the next month holds. He has also given me referrals without my knowledge or consultation and I have to find out when the University Hospital sends me appointment papers. Then when I called to ask his staff about the referral they had absolutely no knowledge he had even given one. When he finally confirms that he did in fact make the referral he tells me it is for one thing only for me to travel three hours away only to find out that the doctor he referred me to doesn't even handle the care he referred me for in the first place. Lastly, I have no confidence in this doctor or his decisions, mostly due to his inconsistency, and causing me personally undue suffering. I recommend that everyone should steer clear of this quack!
