Id do a 1/2 star rating if I could . Her and Dr. Olivo are extremely arrogant and condescending…read morepeople who think their S%#+ don't stink and they lack compassion. . I't was very hurtful to be treated like crap . Especially coming from someone who took an oath to help people through their medical knowledge .. then turn around and treat you like crap is just so rude . My first visit was with Dr Olivo who blew off all my symptoms and brain Injury to saying I needed a neuropsych test -- I've had 3 already . So I did the test and he proceeds to say I need medication for my tremors and eyelid closure . I hope immediately booked an appointment with his wife Dr Fuentes when I left cause she's a movement disorder specialist . tShe disagreed with Dr Olivos diagnosis and did injections for blepharospasm that's she diagnosed me with so my eyes would open . On my next visit and after one dose ... she suddenly changed her mind and was not willing to give them to me anymore injections to my eyes because " I didn't respond the way she wanted me to " news flash sweetheart not everyone with a brain injury responds to medication the same way .!! Her and dr Olivo both consistently preach some program for neuro cognitive bio feed back psychology junk . Completely ignoring the physiological evidence of my test results that very plainly show I have trauma In every lobe of my brain and and carbon monoxide poisoning to my brain and damage to my basal ganglia which causes tremors and nerve issues& yet that doesn't matter to them . They are ignorant physicians who are too lazy and don't want to help people like me . Someone who has been In multiple road side bomb incidents in Iraq and knocked unconscious .. the evidence is there ! Haven't. I suffered enough ? But Because my case is too complex she just discharged me and said don't come back unless your seizures change . I PERSONALLY THINK THAT SHE DISCHARGED ME CAUSE OF HER HUSBAD DR OLIVO AND THAT SHE DISAGREED WITH HIS DIAGNOSIS AND SHE EMBARRASSED HIM and wounded his giant EGO ! Meanwhile nerve damage to my eyes has kept my eyes closed for 9 months now . And she won't continue injections to my eyelids so they can open even though I responded to the medication. And had my eyes stay open for like 20 days . She shrugged her shoulders and said this is psychological . Give me a break ! Quit ignoring the test results ! !!! And where did they hire that medical assistant ? I couldn't even understand what she was talking about ? She's rambling on and on like a meth head . Not only did the medical assist lose my Disc of medical records that I sent in , when I asked her about them back she argued with me in the lobby and kept cutting me off loudly saying " NNNOOO I gave them back to you !" I finally just walked out no sense in arguing with someone like that . The only nice person was the receptionist up front ! My advice --- go elsewhere ! find a neurologist who has a HEART and shows you some COMPASSION with a good Bed side manner ! RANT OVER

Dr. Fuentes has been treating my husband for Parkinson's Disease for the past several years and all…read moreI can say is we are SO relieved to be in her good care! She is compassionate, knowledgeable, gentle and kind, helping us through some of the challenges that his disease presents. We are SO lucky to have found her. With her guidance, not only has he been well treated, his disease hasn't even progressed! We are total fans...if you can say that about being a patient of a neurologist.

We were shocked that a neurologist tells a patient with short term memory issues from a stroke and seizure he doesn't address memory issues. He was a little rude and arrogant and made us wait at least an hour after the appointment time and he spent 10 minutes tops with us.

Review Title: Concerning experience - not appropriate for serious neurologic symptoms of Mohammad…read moreKaleem Uddin, MD Review: I had a very concerning experience at this neurology appointment. I came in with serious symptoms, including severe balance issues and difficulty walking. I brought a summarized set of medical records to help streamline the visit. The doctor appeared immediately frustrated by the number of pages, repeatedly saying things like "this cannot be done" and "there is no way," and did not meaningfully review the information--even though I provided a concise summary. When I tried to explain my symptoms, I was interrupted multiple times and not allowed to finish. The tone became dismissive and at times raised. Questions about my condition were not answered, and no clear clinical impression was provided. The physical exam was minimal and did not reflect the severity of my symptoms. I left without a meaningful evaluation or guidance. Given the seriousness of neurologic conditions, I would encourage others to consider whether this setting is appropriate for their care.

His medical assistant treated me with kindness whether in the office or on the phone. Dr. Spicer was great with post-Op pain control. Not too much!

Sylvanula Dulanto is the most DISREPCTFUL NP I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. She…read moreputs patients down who arent educated and interrupts her patients and their family. She tried hiding results from us, the family, and I will never recommend this facility. The first dementia test that was administered was compromised by technical difficulties and should be been restarted. Dulanto decided to accept the results from the compromised exam and we had to fight to get another exam to be readministered. She constantly interrupts her patients, and their families not letting them speak which is a huge matter of respect. Dealing with Dementia testing is a sensitive and the concerns of the patient and family should be addressed first and foremost. Not ignored, interrupted and spoken over. During the second 'scientific' exam called a Moca Test. She made a very disrepectful comment about my father having 'only been to high school'. Why it seems like nothing while reading it in a review, the tone and the conduct was completely unprofessional. When we brought my father in to have the Moca test done, he was taken to an exam room where the test was administered and then he was told to leave. We were not given results. He had to speak up and fight to see the results. They didnt need time to be processed as they had them all written out. There was no reason, that she or her staff couldnt have had had us wait and given us the results right there and then without us having to speak up. Do not come here. Do not see Sylvana Dulanto.

Dr. Ricardo Olivo has been my neurologist for 18 years and I can't talk about him even more…read morepositive than I already have in all forums! He has been my savior in my journey with my multiple sclerosis. Every time I leave his office I feel that much better about myself and my future Dr. Olivo goes over and above what it means to be a caring doctor in a field full of doctors who think they're God and they're not! I recommend Dr. Olivo and his staff at Innovative neurology for anyone that is on the fence about their current care from their neurologist. When it comes to the best and the most caring human being, look no farther than Dr. Ricardo Olivo and his staff at Innovative neurology and tell him that Jackie and Cappy! sent you!

The first time I met Dr Alvarez was in 2020 when I was seeking to have metal removed from my head…read moredue to a traumatic brain/head injury. The metal was causing me to pray for God to take me home almost daily. My ENT doctor was going to perform the surgery to remove the metal. Instead of her saying yes... she wanted to send me to pain management. I told her no thank you.... and that I was not going to live the rest of my life suffering because she didn't want to help me. After a long battle my insurance company approved the surgery and I had the metal removed. This helped somewhat but I still have chronic migraines that can only be described as skull crushing. I am 57 y/o now and was referred back to Dr Alvarez. To my misfortune she hasn't changed and she certainly is not a well trained doctor. Now I am seeking an updated MRI to see the brain and blood flow throughout the veins in my head. The MRI with contrast is the best for this outcome..... unfortunately for me Dr Alvarez declined the MRI with contrast. I pray for anyone that goes into her office. I hope they get better results.

I finally broke down, and this is where I was referred to. I was very concerned with the previous reviews. I am glad that I didn't just shut down. I arrived at my appointment and was instantly greeted and then handed a semi book to fill out. Sai (the assistant) came and called me to get weighed and blood pressure done. Sai was very kind. Dr. Alvarez came in shortly after and went over my information throughly. We decided on getting an MRI and then figuring out a plan afterward. I was issued two sample packets of migraine medication. I appreciated the time she took with me. I also appreciated how clean the whole establishment was. Loved the fountain in the bathroom. I have a follow-up appointment after the MRI. I will try to remember to come back and do an update. Not sure what all the 1 star reviews were about, but that was NOT my experience. Thank you

This is by far one of the rudest drs office my husband and I have been to. We've never gone…read moretogether so the fact that we go separately and still don't like this office says something. The front office staff is sooooooo rude and unwelcoming. I went one day to pick up something and it says they open back up at 1.pm. I looked online and listened to their hours when I called. So of course I get there at 1, time passes and still not open. I knock and knock. Finally after 1:10 I see movement. Knock on the door no one answers then I knock on the glass and finally someone comes and says we don't open till 1:15, funny cause on the door, online and when you call it all says 1, she gave me so much attitude. My husband has dr schoonmaker and he was never happy with him. Very rude and judgmental. I had Bianca, she doesn't seem very friendly or warm. She's in and out and kinda just cold. The only person in that office that is nice is Keona (idk how to spell her name) but anyway we finally had it with bad service that we are no longer using this dr office and I suggest you don't either. Terrible terrible terrible.
