Pharmacophbia
My 18 year old daughter had suffered from chronic debilitating migraines for years. Since she turned 18. She had to swith from a pediatric neurologist to an adult neurologist. Unfortunately, Dr Elias's resident, Dr. Henry, was assigned to her. Whe. She didn't know what to do she brought in Dr. Elias himself. Pharmacophobia is a fear of taking medication which my daughter developed over the course of years of suffering side effects from medications that did not help her or her condition. Instead of being sympathizing with her, and trying to find a happy medium. He walk in the room and says, I can't help you. Go read a book on migraines, maybe do some yoga ' and left the room. To say she felt humiliated is an understatement. I wish him the best karma possible!

Dr. Elias was very professional. He clearly articulated himself, provided an empathetic demeanor and was honest when he was unsure of etiology of stroke. Refreshing to feel heard in a medical visit. His documentation was accurate too!
