They called me finally and told them what is going on with me and I have Cervical Spinal Stenosis & would like another Opinion as well as have my spine worked up ! That was mailed on April 2nd , 2019 to her as instructed. I gave her my first MRI and last MRI Scans plus a photograph of my necks horrendous Muscle Spasms as well ! I have not heard back from them yet as of April 10th, 2019 . I realize that she is a very busy Neurosurgeon... and hopefully will actually examine me ? I am referring to Dr. Mélissa R. Chambers who not only is a Neurosurgeon, but has a DVM degree. She has excellent credentials and excellent bed side manners as was told by Nurses at UAB when my mother was their. But not assisting me yet ! Hopefully my new Internist ; Dr. Sarah A. Kunin and her excellent staff in Oxmoor road office will do more if do not hear from them. I have had enough of waiting forever and it's been over a year and a half dealing with my Cervical Spinal Stenosis and Pain! Do I need to go to Congress to get something done - no, they are a bunch of children in Washington and play back and forth! ! Now I am sick to death of politics.

He's pleasant, thoughtful, funny, and empathetic. Truly, I can't say enough good things about him. Hell, I wish we were friends. He's great. That said, his clinic at Wellstar Paulding closed and he fell off the face of the earth. I've called all the hospitals in the area, including Emory where he did his Residency, thinking maybe they kept up with doctors who went through their program. I've tried it all. I think I finally figured out where he is, but they were so cryptic on the phone and said they couldn't give him a message from me. I just want a referral to a new Neuro, if he's no longer taking patients. Is he? No clue. They closed up shop at Wellstar and didn't give any warning or get me in to see him one last time before he left. I was due for an appt around the time they closed, as I go in regularly. If anyone sees this and knows him or if Dr. Morton sees this, himself, please reach out. (Miss you, Doc! You're the best!) If you're not taking patients anymore, please contact me to point me in the right direction. I'm having a hard time finding a new doctor. If he gets to a clinic where he is taking patients again, I swear to you you'll never regret choosing him as your doctor. He's amazing and I'm so bummed he's not my Neuro anymore.

He doesn't review the MRI, only reads the tech's report - so if the tech doesn't catch something he won't either. His office books 2-3 appointments for each appointment slot and makes you pay upfront - that way when you've been waiting for an hour you just can't leave. He is also rude.

It's no nonsense let's get to the issues and get you on the mend or improving your quality of life. Since working with Dr. Gathline Etienne I have had fewer seizures than I have in 20 years. This has greatly improved my quality of life. She is straight and tells me if I am contributing to my disease with what I am eating or activities. I think this is what people don't want to hear. Or when she explains some of your symtoms are not connected. People and WebMD think that the doctor needs to listen to their medical opinion and treat them for what they read they have. Well good luck with that. Why go to a doctor if you want to tell them how they are going to treat you? I am sure you can find a doctor to tickle your ears but they won't improve you quality of life.
