I was required to have a referral from my primary care doctor in addition to my main referral from my neurosurgeon. I'm suffering from hydrocephalus and need a lumbar puncture. I was assured from a scheduler that was within their capacity for a referral to a hospital for outpatient After completing their requirements I was informed that a head neurosurgeon had to approve me before I could get an appointment. I was rejected without setting foot into office. I waisted 3 days for nothing. What a terrible way to treat a future patient read more

Had another great appointment with Dr. Brandon Woods. Of course, his staff is important to this most favorable experience. He has been my medical advocate and consultant for over 10 years. I love this man. Dr. Brandon Woods has helped me through an almost fatal motorcycle accident with a myriad of neurological damage to my body. And Psyche. My nerve pain used to be worse than my broken pelvis. Till I met Dr. Woods. Don't be fooled with his easy manner. Brandon Woods is a genius. Furthermore, He is as able and compassionate as any physician I have ever known. I would not be alive today had I not met Dr. Brandon Woods. God bless him!!! Hint: I suggest you contact his staff online as they request.while not a communication avenue that I am used to, it actually works really well. I put my good name behind Dr. Brandon Woods and Phoenician Neurology. read more

The office people are rude & don't care about the patients' comfort. New Neurology problems; a change in my health. Was told that I need a new referral (I've never had this requirement anywhere else!). I'm changing doctors, won't return here. read more

The 2330 n 75 on Thomas is awful.. the location and the office are gross.. then front office Perla was rude as hell and doesn't like to work.. I was advised to head over to my appt in 15min grace period window and she stated back office dont matter what they say, she also stated there is no pffice manager, then refused to reschedule based on i was rude.. her snotty rude demeanor sets the tone for a staff that is giving different information horrible service and office and location read more

Went in to see Dr. Woods to establish myself as a patient after moving here from out of state. We had a bit of trouble finding the office among the buildings there. We had parked in back not knowing we'd have to walk clear around to get to the entrance. We finally found it after a few minutes. Dr. Woods is a bit loud, which may be off-putting to some. His questions were very direct and we quickly filled him in with the various issues that made having a neurologist important. As other pointed out, this is an older building, but not in terrible shape. It smells like a medical facility. Each member of the staff was polite and kind. read more

It took over 5 weeks to get an appointment for my 88 year old mother with Dr. Woods at 606 N. Country Club Dr, Mesa. The office was dark, they had NO LIGHTS on, no music, no TV. As another reviewer here said, the office is rundown. IT FEELS DIRTY. It was small and sparse, not enough chairs for all waiting and no decor or tables, old linoleum floor. When I confirmed the apt with staff the day before, they said come 30 minutes early to fill out forms. I told them I filled them out online. She said that link doesn't work. So we went 30 minutes early and I again said I filled out forms online, she said well let me check, oh yes, we have them. At our appointment time, there were still 4 patients in the waiting room ahead of us. Staff was gossiping, I had to get their attention to say we were leaving. It was so uncomfortable and unprofessional, we couldn't stay there another minute. Staff said it will take a long time to reschedule. But we won't. I wish I had taken a photo. WILL NOT GO BACK. Medical offices cannot seem to find staff with any customer care these days! read more

Run down office in a roughy old office building. I actually felt a bit weird walking in here since it looked like something from a movie where something not reputable is going on. The offices has unorganized stuff stacked around and is dirty. I felt like I visited the hood... They did the test on my nerves and I was given a diagnosis of mild carpal tunnel and that I have nerve issues from my back also affecting me. Over a month has gone by now. I have never been contacted or informed of what I should be doing to help my situation. Odd place overall and I feel like nothing was achieved by my visit at all. I'm not sure why I am giving 2 stars even... I should have checked yelp before making my appointment! read more

Phoenix Neurological Institute - Neurologist Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

See all

I use to come to this office when I lived in Chandler, Az literally down the street. Dr. Querishi (I think that's how it's spelled) & his office staff are always there to answer all my questions and concerns about my migraine treatment. The office staff help me get approved for Botox and other nerve blocking treatments. They've always explained the process and made me fully aware of side effects. I hope they read this review and remember me. 5 outta 5 stars read more

I just had a call with them regarding my appointment tomorrow, but it took a negative turn when I was insulted (got called a b*tch and was abruptly hung up on. Curious about others' experiences, I decided to check the reviews on this page. It's disheartening to see how many patients have been affected based on the Google Reviews. It's possible that there are even more people who have had similar experiences but haven't shared them in a review yet. Not touching this place ever again. read more

The office is small and very rundown. Receptionist chair was tattered and worn. Chairs in waiting room had rips. Exam room was in need of paint and drawers had no handles. Holes in the walls. Dr. Arora maybe spent 5 minutes with me. Very blunt. I am afraid to have EMG done there. Too dirty. Oh and a huge garbage can in hallway by waiting room. Paint was peeling everywhere. Had to fill out at least 15 new patient forms. Ridiculous! It's like they are stuck in the 80's! Whatever you do don't get your medical care at this awful place. read more

i have never been so disappointed in patient care. this place has been neglecting my care since November. I was seen then, had some test results but when they received my test results they could not give them to me due to my insurance? not sure how I could be seen three times and all of a sudden couldn't get seen. I've called them more than a dozen times while them asking for this same online referral that my pcp has sent them but they still couldn't see me. it took me until the 20th call, after telling them how ridiculous this is.. patients should not be treated this way... they hung up on me! then I called them and told them I've been suffering from seizures and that I am gonna switch providers... thst same day they call me back with my test results and wanted to schedule an appt. TOO LATE! I'm switching specialist because none of us should be treated like this. I recommend this place to get shut down because they are neglecting a lot of their patients. very disappointed . read more

Do not go to this practice it is a awsuit waiting to happen. My review about this organization stand. After severing my business relationship with this practice I saw a neurosurgeon who clearly noted the need for immediate neck surgery for an impingement on my spinal cord. There was no need for any lower back surgery. The Phoenix Neurological Institute was WRONG. There was zero need to subject me to two very painful and debilitating exploratory nerve block procedures on my lower back. The sole purpose behind this organization is to take advantage of the AHCCCS and the Medicare system by performing unnecessary procedures on patients. They take advantage of patients that have been dealing with chronic pain with promises for a pain-free future. The facility used for the procedures is filthy, unorganized, and a medical malpractice waiting to happen. read more

Rude rude rude. I won't go to this place. Nichole answered the phone and was asking me for all my insurance info. When I asked to if I could get an idea of what appointments they have available she said NO! Not until I gave her all my insurance info. I didn't wanna waste her time remind giving her all the information if I couldn't be seen for weeks. She didn't care. I will let my doctor know NOT to refer this place. Based on all the bad reviews it was probably better that I didn't make an appointment read more

Never even got to see the doctor. The "receptionist" was wearing a hoody and the lady sitting next to her was clearly on a personal call talking loudly "No you shut up" "OMG really, no way" and so on. I had to use the restroom, and was in pain. The hoody girl would not a buzz open the door until she found out I needed to leave a urine sample. Which was weird since I was there for a nerve problem. As it turned out I was made to wait because the two girls in the back were to busy joking around. The tossed a cup at me and to me to leave in the metal door. No other instruction at all. She did not even look at me in the eye when she spoke. Then I was final in the doctor's office, the so called assistant was very rough taking my blood pressure. Jerking my arm around, and placing on the edge of a table so that my elbo was jammed up. Then I was taken to a room and the same lady, who was rude and rough with me says "so what brings you here" I asked if she was the doctor. She say no, I said I would wait for the doctor. She said "I am the assistant you have to tell me" I said "I am not talking to you about my problem, you are not the doctor" she glared at me then jumped up snatched her papers off the table and slammed the door. I sat for half a second and thought " No! I am not going to be treated this way" I came out of the room and said "Excuse me, you just slammed the door on me" she said "No sir I did not" as she was hurrying up to walk away from me. Not even turning to look at me I said "Excuse me you just slammed the door on my face, what is wrong with you" She walked into another room and shut the door. This place is a nightmare, I never did get to see a doctor, I am still in pain and I was treated like garbage. read more

I have seen Dr. Grainger for years at Neurological Physicians of Arizona. I don't know why the change to Phoenix Neurological Institute was a horrible mistake. The Lady at the front desk in the Gilbert office is pleasant and efficient. When you call, this guy answers the phone who is rude and condescending. He wants to know everything, yet he doesn't know anything. I need to speak to a lady in the office at Gilbert but he claimed he could not transfer the call to her. He continued asking me to tell him why I was calling and that he could help me. I repeatedly told him he could not, he did not know about my visit on Monday with Dr. Grainger, and our conversation with Rena. Finally, he said he would send her a message to call me. He did not take my name. I called back after waiting 30 minutes. He said he had not talked to me and he claimed he had only gotten one call. I reiterated our conversation and asked my, (I gave him when he answered) He said he sent Rena the message and told me if I would not let him help me then I would just have to wait on her to call me. He claimed he did not know her extension, asked me if I knew, and said he could not transfer the call to her. Continued to try and get me to tell him why I was calling, he could take care of whatever I needed. If I would not let him help me then I would just have to wait on Rena to call me. I do not know if he sent a message to her to have her call me. He was so RUDE and CONDESENDNG. Something needs to be done with this organization or they will lose most of their patients. When you need to see a doctor you are suffering and certainly do not want staff to berate you. The person on the phone needs to be kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and professional. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Grainger and do not want to see anyone else. Peggy Wilson Dobbs e read more

First off the only reason I rated this place one star is because there are no minus stars. I was referred to Phoenix Neurological And Pain Institute at 1343 N Alma School Rd Ste 125, Chandler, Az 85224. The day When I arrived to my first visit with them I wet to the wrong floor because nothing is marked giving you an idea which office they are in. I checked in at the front desk and they informed me where the office was. As I was walking away to go to the correct office she calls me back and ask if I was there to see the neurologist, I said yes. She then called someone who was from that office up she proceeded to tell me that the doctor called out and I would have to reschedule. Naturally I was upset because here I come all the way from Casa Grande and they couldn't give me the courtesy to call me. As soon as I told her that my phone rang and it was from the neurologist office asking me to reschedule. Against my better judgement I rescheduled. My first official visit wasn't any better. When I got there the office was in horrible shape but I thought maybe the rooms weren't so bad. I was wrong, the condition was worse than the lobby. The siding from the bottom was coming apart, paint was mismatched. It looked like something out of a horror movie. When the provider came in he asked me a series of questions and would interrupt me each time I tried to answer by saying "yea I have several other patients with the same thing, so what's different?." He then tells me he would do whatever to help. he then tells me, "I just met you and you are already a pain in my butt, but I like you." Who says that to a patient? read more

Phoenix Neurological Institute - Look for another place quick!!! - Neurologist Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I have now gone to Dr. Woods at Phoenix Neurological twice now between two locations for a serious issue. I found the front staff to be very helpful at both and the back staff and Dr. Woods were a pleasure. Dr. Woods is a caring, compassionate doctor. I read these reviews prior to my visits and was rather concerned. After my experiences, I now highly question the motive behind the bad reviews. Were those people denied care because they failed drug screening? Were they exhibiting drug seeking behavior? Maybe they were the abrasive ones? I would have given 5 stars but I've heard those "perfect" reviews get filtered out the the visible ones. I uploaded an image of my receipts to prove these visits. Thanks Doc, I appreciate the great work you did for me! read more

Phoenix Neurological Institute - Proof of my visits for my POSITIVE reviews. - Neurologist Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

One of the least pleasant experiences with any type of specialist.. from waiting two hours to see doctor for first time and than seeing him for 2 minutes getting two appointments which i didnt get a choice for time or day so it took 4 people to reschedule because no one I spoke to could figure out what, where, and why for two shots that ended up getting rescheduled anyhow because no one ordered any images of my neck so back to square one to only get a call a week later to reschedule because doctor had to go to different clinic. So much for helping my pain it actually stressed me out more therefore my neck pain is worse.. I highly recommend you find a different pain management doctor or facility this one lacks communication within their staff.. and professionalism.. read more

Been going there for years. Numerous injections that were failures. Worked with the minimum pain medicine I was given. They claim my UAS were to clean. Which I feel is unfair cuz I take medicine every day. Dr P never ask me what was going on way I was in pain. He needs to learn empathy and quit worrying about himself. Shame on him. The practice is going downhill. I plan on asking someone to report DrP read more

Dr Hatgis is an on Par Dr who is fast and friendly. Very good with burstDr stimulator surgery aswell. Excellent Bedside manner and attention to detail. Highly recommend for anyone suffering pain. read more

I HAVE NO COMMENT FOR DOCTOR. I am very disappointed for the stuff who is doing referring. Dr said he would take care everything and what I should to do was just waited for calling from therapist. WELL, after10 days, I still did not get a call from the therapy office. THEN,they gave me number to schedule. The worst t hing was therapy office said they did not have my order. It past 10 days. I waited for nothing. AFTER ALL , I have decided to change doctor. read more

Absolutely the worst! I tried for over an hour with 5 different phone calls taking over an hour trying to get scheduled. They were very good at telling me what they CAN'T do. Needless to say, I never did get scheduled because all 5 of them couldn't figure it out. All of their calls tell you they are recording you; maybe they should listen to them! Checkout - 15, December, 2020. Around 3:30pm. They must have too many patients to worry about getting new ones or they are not interested in funding their operation. read more

If I could, I would give them 0 marks. Dr. Qureshi has absolutely zero bedside manner, he was in the room with me for less than 5 minutes on my initial visit. When I was explaining my triggers for the Migraines he was completely disinterested. He said to get an MRI, it has been 6 days and I'm still waiting for the order to be sent. The staff is completely incompetent. They took my blood pressure and did not even have the right size cuff. I will never give this office my business again and am feeling seriously compelled to contact the State Board of Health to lodge a formal complaint against this practice, or lack thereof. Stay away, not worth the hassle. read more

I have never had such a worst experience in my life! Dr. Charajit Dhillon's staff is incompetent! He had referred me for follow up testing, and his staff couldn't handle the assignment of getting my pre-auth or referral done correctly. I reached out to my insurance for help, and after days of trying to talk to the staff she actually gave up! I STILL have not been reviewed from my Bell's Palsy almost 4 weeks ago, and the pain has not gone away. Incompetent, unempathetic people! This is not a good place and these are not good people! read more

Dr. Qureshi was insulting, condescending and rude, full of derogatory comments. He discounted all findings by other doctors and called them incompetent, then clearly lied to me about my lifelong condition and it's cause. He ran no tests, obviously had no knowledge about my condition or showed any intention of offering help with prevention. His office staff misrepresented their abilities and lacked professional conduct. I was the only patient in the office and waited over 90 minutes before I was seen by the doctor. The office is old and worn with outdated equipment. BP cuff for a child was all they had, was ancient and obviously wouldn't fit my arm. Nice. If you wish an abusive experience, this would be the place to be! read more

I love the Dr Foltz but the people that work with him are the worst. My sleep machine broke and I called then at 8 am on Friday they called me 12:45 saying I can loner but they close at 1. They then said I would have to change my work schedule to fit their business hours if I really need it. I am currently looking for a new doctor office when where they treat the patient with respect. read more

Both my daughter and I are experiencing signs and symptoms of MS and/or Fibromyalgia. We both called to schedule appointments. I got Dr. Woods and my daughter got Dr. Qureshi. My Dr was very personable and funny and was concerned and willing to find answers. My daughters Dr (Qureshi) was the complete opposite. I asked to switch my daughter over to Dr woods and the REFUSED. No matter what they would not let her see Dr Woods. We were both so disgusted we both went someplace else. read more

My story is too long for details but basically Dr. Hatgis and his staff, namely Kim at the Apache Junction office, are to be avoided at all cost! I was given incorrect diagnostic information (verified by 2 other doctors) that could have cost me dearly as far as my well being goes. Kim tried to tell me that because she is in pain management she "totally understands"! Not until you have lived in my body or the other countless bodies that suffer chronic pain will you ever understand! She was rude and unsympathetic. Dr. Hatgis has the "bedside manner" of a gorilla! I'm writing this review to help others avoid the rude and uncaring attitude of these two and I hope it helps others so they won't experience what I did. read more

Dr. Dhillon is the best Doctor on the planet. I have been to so many. He is loving, professional, takes the time to listen and he truly cares about me and my health and my epilepsy condition. I absolutely adore him and would recommend him to anyone I love and care about. read more

I went to their Mesa office @ 606 N Country Club Dr. I don't remember which doctor I was supposed to see, but after waiting for the doctor for two hours after my scheduled appointment time, I walked out! You think they would see me after being 2 hours late? NOT!! They'd even charge me for not showing up! After I went home I immediately called my doctor for a referral to another doctor. I will never go back to this office!!! read more

Dr. Terri Wilcox is amazing! Very understanding and helpful in achieving my pain reduction and helping with this pain management. If your in need for a great doctor definitely recommend her to anyone in pain. read more

My mother and I both see Dr Woods. We enjoy his down-to-earth characteristics. He keeps us common relax as if we are family or friends. While taking care of our medical issues. My mom has seizures and migraines, I have migraines are caused by small seizures. I have seen multiple neurologist and he's the only one I like. read more

Dr Woods is the best neurologist that I ever found. He has a down to earth personality and a sense of humor. I will not go to another neurologist. He deserves a 10 star review. read more

Dr Qureshi is outstanding. I feel lucky to have found a specialist in whom I have so much confidence to manage my neurological condition. He is excellent about listening to my concerns, answering my questions, and showing compassion and concern. My 5 star rating is for this physician specifically. He is great! However, if I could give a separate rating for the medical staff at the chandler office out of which he sees patients, I would give them 1 star. This office staff are the most unpleasant and difficult staff i have ever come across. Trying to get them on the phone, and dealing with them in office is very frustrating. I find them to be uncaring, cold, and rude. The experience is so frustrating that I would like to take my business elsewhere and never return. But, I am so over-the-top pleased with the care given by Dr. Qureshi himself, that I've chosen to endure the nonsense that comes from the women running the office. read more

Absolutely the worst upper management I have ever dealt with. Yes on several occasions I did have to wait for very long periods of time but the staff and the NPA Armenta were always helpful and seem to do what they could for me. In February I received a discharge notice And was advised of what I could do to correct the inaccurate information. I took those steps immediately upon leaving the office and called back to set up a new appointment with the information I had received and I was told to call back the following week...3 weeks and 9 phone calls later I am told Stephan has advised them not to make any appts for me ... so I began trying to reach him to speak with him directly .... 2 weeks and 6 messages later I asked to speak to someone above him ... he decided to call then (haha) which I refused his call and still requested upper management Anupam or Bobby .... I was leaving a text message almost daily and calling every 2-3 days and was continued to being told "they are working on it" by staff members .... then my text messages were no longer being answered with a confirmation that the text had been received when I called to ask about this I was told that all of my messages and text were being rerouted and sent direct to upper management... Well it is now June I have never once heard from management I am filing a complaint with the Arizona Health Dept against them for complete negligence after being told countless times someone would call me and I can't wait for the interview they give when AZ Investigates contacts them. read more

Seen Dr. Quereshi over 10 times for a combined hour. He does nothing. The office and staff are worse. Over the last 12 months I have had to call in 7 times about an error with a prescription they have submitted. This is the reason i stopped using their service. The last prescription they submitted after i told them i would not be using their services anymore was also a mistake. When i called back they told me I was not a patient of theres anymore and its not their problem hung up. Finally got them to transfer me to a medical assistant, they just left me on hold until the office closed read more

I saw dr. Woods the other day. Im very disappointed with this company. I suffer from chronic migraines and scoliosis which at times triggers them and they werent much help. I was told to continue to take a medication that was never called in and had to argue to get the medication filled. I had to miss work due to being stuck in bed because i had the worst migraine i have ever had. I will never go back to this nor will i go back to the doctors office affiliated to this one. Took them 3 weeks to get my svn machine. read more

.it was the worst experience with a "professional" Dr. I have ever had. Long story short, I have sleeping problem. did not sleep for 30+ hours. Went in and started to ball my eyes out trying to explain the situation to Dr. Qureshi and he asked if I was taking Ambien. I said no cause I am trying to get pregnant. He then said "well, maybe you should just diagnose yourself since you are not listening to me." Then he started to tell me, in a very condescending voice, how he is not going to take anymore time with me since he already explained everything to me the very first visit I had with him. (take note, this was only my second visit with him) He will "not waste my time anymore with you regarding this". I was in shock that he spoke to me like this. If this is how he spoke to a woman who is balling her eyes out and told him that she has not slept for 30+ hours, an emotional wreck, how is he speaking to others. I canceled all my follow up visits with him and will never ever see him ever again. The staff is rude, never answers the phone and when they do they immediately place you on hold. every time I called, this has happened. Never again will I see anyone here at this practice. read more

My husband is seeing Dr. F Qureshi for sleep apnea and as a nurse for over 40 years and as a person with the same condition, I have full confidence in his abilities. His appointments are always on time, he answers all questions completely and uses evidence based medicine which is very important to us. His assessment of the complete patient is also very accurate. We are new to the area and I will ask my doctor to refer me to him also. read more

My experience with Barrows has been horrible and very unprofessional. We had to wait to schedule an appointment for over four months for my elderly father, which I totally understand. We finally met with Dr. Guidos and Dr. Moguel-Cobos on our first appointment and they told us my dad needed to have a cognitive test and MRI before the final appointment to go over results and a plan. We did both tests, and when we came in for the final results months later, Dr Guidos told us that he had the results of the MRI, but we still needed to have the cognitive testing done, which was the first testing we did! He had NO record of the testing, nor had he reviewed my dad's file before meeting with us. I happen to have a copy of the test, and I told him to make a copy, and feel free to go outside and review it, so he's prepared for our appointment before Dr. Moguel joins in. Since that appointment, my dad has had anxiety and they can't prescribe or treat him because I was told he now needs to see their staff psychiatrist, Dr Bollam. The nurse asked me why we saw Dr Moguel and Dr Guidos? She told me that Dr Moguel specializes in mobility disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease, which my father does not have a mobility disorder, so she wasn't sure why we were seeing him? I let her know that we were assigned a doctor, and I feel it's really up to Barrows to make sure we are seeing the right doctor! Now we are months out for seeing the psychiatrist, which I hope is more on top of things. To think this is a world-renowned institute, so I'm very disappointed in how unprepared and unprofessional they are. Not very comforted by their team of doctors either. Something is lacking, and while my father might have dementia, I think he might be able to manage their processes better. read more
