For a couple of years I was prescribed a fairly high dose of Abilify. When I switched doctors the…read morenew one discontinued it. At that point I discovered that I had developed tardive dyskinesia (TD --involuntary movements of the mouth and facial muscles) caused by the Abilify. While not the world's most debilitating disability it was very annoying and did interfere with things like eating, talking and sleeping. I was a very unhappy camper, believe you me! I was referred to Dr. Muhammad Nashatizadeh, a neurologist specializing in movement disorders, with offices at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. I have been seeing him since last year and have been extremely pleased with my experience and highly recommend him to anyone with movement disorder problems. Dr. Nashatizadeh is young and originally from the Midwest. (No, he doesn't speak with an accent -- he's a nice Kansas boy, from Emporia, I understand.) I was tremendously impressed that as a medical specialist he had the time to take nearly an hour with me on our first visit to go over my medical history, examine the symptoms carefully and thoroughly, and discuss what turned out to be numerous options for treatment of my TD. We ended up trying various things, trying to find the right medication that wouldn't cause other undesirable side effects. As it turned out, some of the first things we tried DID have side effects I couldn't stand (mainly extremely dry mouth) and we switched to other remedies. We've finally found a medication (tetrabenazine) that pretty much controls the movements without causing dry mouth or other side effects. After my bad experience with Abilify I was pleased with Dr. Nashatizadeh's cautious approach and willingness to take the time to follow me carefully as we tried various medications. Whenever I've had an appointment he's taken all the time necessary to find out what was going on and deal with me as a person, not as a 15-minute appointment! I have been able to send him updates of my progress with the various medications by e-mail, saving having to go in for numerous appointments. When necessary he has called me by phone or responded by e-mail, which I very much appreciate! I also appreciate that he's taken the time to coordinate care with my psychiatrist and primary care physician, both of whom need to be involved because of the potential side effects of the medications we've tried for my TD symptoms. Dr. Nashatizadeh trained at Baylor Medical Center in Houston with one of the "fathers" of movement disorder medicine. He's extremely knowledgeable in his field. Since I started seeing him he's been "discovered" and has been swamped with patients, but if you're experiencing a movement disorder problem (like Parkinson's or Huntington's diseases, Tourette's syndrome, tremor, etc.) I would highly recommend your seeing him. He also sees patients having cognitive disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease and memory loss after a stroke. I think you'll be very pleased and satisfied with the care you receive from him. I definitely am!!!

That's when it's revealed my appt. was only for 30 min. and they couldn't work with me (strike three). Seriously? How many times do we, the patients, show up on time or even early, only to wait an hour+ to be seen? Clearly, I will not be going back.

I just couldn't sit comfortably for more than 15 minutes. This surgery was the biggest MISTAKE of my entire life. Since the surgery I have been in VERY SEVERE, nonstop pain. Now I cannot sit AT ALL even for one minute because of the extreme pain. I have chronic nerve damage now. I cannot stand for more than 15 to 30 minutes at the most. I can't walk further than 1-2 blocks. I can't eat a meal with my family. I can't go to the dentist, get a haircut, see a movie, travel, meet a friend for lunch, babysit for my grandchildren, go to a wedding or do anything this requires sitting... I have to lie down on the back seat of a car in order to get anywhere. I have tried EVERYTHING, even two spinal stimulators. Nothing has helped. Dr. Feigenbaum DOES NOT CARE and has not shown any compassion nor taken any responsibility when I have spoken to him since my surgery. He told me that the MRI shows that he did exactly what he was supposed to do. REALLY?? Does that mean that his goal was to turn me into an invalid with severe pain? He nor anyone from his office has called me once since my surgery to see how I'm doing. I had to call him. He did not warn me of the risks before the surgery either. There is a good reason why not one doctor in New York will perform this surgery! (And only 1 of 2 doctors in the entire U.S.) If I can help even just one person to stop him/her from having this surgery than this review is well worth it. Don't do it. You will regret it for the rest of your life!

They give us data to show that her treatment is working. I can also see it with my own eyes through my daughter's amazing progress in such a short amount of time.
