She took a complete history, asking thoughtful questions. She was sensitive and considerate of my other medical conditions. She did an extensive physical examination. She told me to get an EEG, and after I had that done I went back to see her again, at which point she made recommendations as to how I could solve the problem. I saw her a few times, but now I won't be going back anymore because, thanks to her, my pseudoparkinsonism is all gone.

Dr. Wasserstein changed my life…read more In eighth grade I had a gran mal seizure. Full on unconscious, frothing at the mouth gnarliness. No underlying cause could be found and I haven't had one since, but after that I started having these small "episodes" where my muscles would tighten uncontrollably when I started to walk or run. Unless I stopped and/or leaned on something, I would fall over. It would last for 5-10 seconds and then go away. The neurologists I saw in New Jersey, where I grew up, didn't know what was happening except that I had irregular EEG (brain-wave scan) results. They said it seemed seizure related, but it wasn't epilepsy. They prescribed phenobarbital which helped the EEGs become normal, but didn't do anything for my symptoms at all. At least I could get hopped up on barbiturates, if I was so inclined (I wasn't). I came out to California for college and a couple years in I decided to see a Neurologist at Stanford to see if they had any ideas. At that time, Dr. Wasserstein was heading the Motion Disorders Clinic at Stanford, though as you can see from the listing, he has since moved to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. I described my symptoms. He nodded and said, "It sounds like you have PKC (Huh?!?) or Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreoathetosis. ([slaps forehead] Of course!!) It's a movement disorder. Not very common, but I've seen several patients with it . . ." Yada, yada, yada. Long story short. He ran some tests (sleep deprived EEG's are the bomb) and changed my meds and I haven't had an episode since!! (well as long as I don't forget to take them (Bad, Andrew!!)) That was 17 years ago. Now I don't have to take awkward pauses when I start to walk and have to explain why over and over again to quizzical friends and acquaintances or keel over in a crosswalk whilst grabbing a random person next to me for support (it's happened). Wooo hooo!!! Sometimes seeing a specialist isn't enough. You need to find the specialty within the specialty. Motion Disorders? Who knew? Thanks Dr. Wasserstein!!

My mom joined the appointment and was stunned that the doctor did not perform any evaluation. He talked about trucks for 30 mins and how men need to be able to drive. Rather than perform an objective test, he looked at my father and told him "you seem fine to drive" and insisted that he go get his license. Insisted. I assume this was because he knew that's what my dad wanted and it was an easy $500. I wouldn't go here if you need a true and honest evaluation.

My partner and I saw upwards of ten medical professionals before getting him a diagnosis, but the…read moreonly one that leaves a sour taste in my mouth is Dr. Cassini. We were under his care for several months, and probably saw him for 5 appointments. When we came to Dr. Cassini, we had a neurospych analysis that showed that something was really wrong, and he made clear that he was going to use that as his basis - not what we were seeing or experiencing. He also did not perform basic neurological tests. Instead, he said that he wanted to get imaging done. At the time, while that seemed reasonable, Dr. Cassini thought everything on the imaging looked "normal" after 2 MRIs and 2 EEGs. We just found out from UCSF that his imaging was not normal, and that in fact it showed some significant shrinkage in the region consistent with Alzheimer's. Our doctor at UCSF made clear that he would never use the imaging alone to make a diagnosis, but it is what he would expect to see with Alzheimer's, given all the other evidence we had provided. Since all Dr. Cassini thought he needed was imaging, he never had the other evidence present, and therefore... could not provide a diagnosis. Except he didn't really ever tell us that. He just kept stringing us along, lethargically (though personably) suggesting a next step. I am really glad that other patients think that Dr. Cassini is a more attentive doctor than I did, but I do want to document what I think were severe weaknesses on the part of this doctor. He did not listen to us, and he did not take the time to put together a picture of what was happening, and even though he wasn't sure what was happening, he never suggested anyone (like the Stanford memory clinic or UCSF) might have a better idea than he did. If they had, we would have had answers months sooner than we did.

I am the parent of a teenager who had been unhappy in school for many years. For a long time, we…read moreassumed the struggles were "normal," but by sophomore year of high school things became truly miserable. We didn't know what to do or how to help. Finding Neuropsych Kids changed everything. The care, attention, and insight Dr. Aronowitz provided gave our family a whole new understanding of who our child is as a learner and as a person. Instead of focusing only on what wasn't working, they helped us see the strengths and guided us with practical, meaningful recommendations. For the first time, our child felt understood and supported in a way that gave them confidence to define their own path. I can't recommend Dr. Aronowitz enough. When my child's school saw the report, they were blown away and said they had never seen anything so comprehensive. And my teen liked her(!). This week, we are sending our child off to college --to a program that is the right fit and one that they are genuinely excited about. Dr. Aronowitz has continued to provide support in this part of the learning journey as well, helping to line up the right accommodations for our child to be successful in university studies. We truly believe this journey would not have been possible without the clarity, compassion, and expertise we received here. Dr. Aronowitz gave our family hope and helped open the door to a much brighter future. I truly wish that all children could have access to this kind of assessment early in their educational experience; it makes all the difference.

Dr Jen's assessment was so comprehensive, and truly helped us to better understand our kiddo (both his challenges but also, his strengths!!) She works so well with young kids (our kiddo really enjoyed his sessions!) but also, she's so thorough -- both in the information she gets from us as parents, from teachers, and even other medical professionals (Dr Jen met with TWO of our kid's support team, to make sure she had the right information to form a complete perspective.) The final report was so detailed! Tons of data but also, thorough explanation. In our review meeting, she really took the time to talk through it with us, to make sure we understood it and had the opportunity to ask (a million!) questions. Her recommendations were very helpful and are giving us great next steps to help our kiddo. Genuinely, we can't recommend her highly enough.
