Dr. Cassandra Curtis, MD

Dr. Curtis was genuinely interested in my story and how it related to my visit. She went over a past MRI with me and we talked about options to try and the probability they would help with my presentation. She was realistic and appropriate in her approach. She answered all my questions and was very kind and supportive.

I saw her one time. I liked her a lot. That appt. made me believe she understood my complex case, she read and understood my diagnosis from my neurologist at Stanford in CA, she would help treat me, and she made clear she knew trying to get the medicine I've been on for years was hard to get insurance to pay for, but she'd done it for other patients and we'd make it happen. Long story short, she's now decided she doesn't give this medication on this disorder. So why did I waste my time? When I pushed back she said that I don't even have that diagnosis based on one factor. It's a complicated disorder. If you look it up like anyone with a computer can do, the NIH makes very clear there are many factors that play into my diagnosis. She never asked me about even one of those other factors. I suspect she is very invested in being "right" rather than listening and paying attention. I know my health. I've had to fight hard to get good care. I will find someone else who will listen to me. She doesn't. If you have something she truly understands, I'd guess she's a fine doctor. But not if it takes intellectual curiosity and learning on her part. Oh, and when I tried to make an appt with another doctor in the same office network, I was told that you have to ask. So, the office staff sent messages. They told me it wouldn't be a problem, no one has ever been turned down. Dr. Curtis said no. I could not see the other neurologist in the same office network (not even in the same office). Unbelievable. Big ego, I guess. Ask a lot of questions before you see her. Find out what she knows.

My Father is a patient of Dr. Curtis'. He has always had difficulty in contacting her to ask/answer questions or to get a prescription refill. I too am unable to get through to her office to request a much needed Parkinson's prescription refill for him. My Father and other family members get the feeling that she really isn't interested in having him as a patient. Sad....

Dr. Curtis was able to get me in quickly and spent lots of time listening to my issues. She was happy to help me explore many (non-opioid) options for treating fibromyalgia pain and symptoms. Her office is willing to fight with insurance even when don't want to pay for most treatments and is helpful exploring different programs and options to be able to afford the medicines that work best.

I am only giving her a one because she took the time to see me. She talked to me badly, she would not address my needs, and whenever I would call her office with the same complaint that was never resolved , her MA would tell me I had to come in even when she saw me the week before. Her office overcharged Medicare and then tried to make me pay the difference. Needless to say I found another neurologist quickly.

That means "0" stars. Dr. Curtis was belittling, arrogant and wouldn't even examine me or listen to my story before she made a spur-of-the-moment diagnosis (which has been declared incorrect by two other neurologists, one at the Cleveland Clinic). Not only did she not help me, she told me there was nothing wrong with me and that she refused to see me again. I would never WANT to see her again, but indeed I do have serious issues as explained to me by the physician at the Cleveland Clinic. My husband and I were both shocked by the way she comported herself.

Dr. Curtis SAVED MY LIFE!!!! I am so grateful for her!! I have been tossed around from doctor to doctor and I gave up but my "migraines" were debilitating!! I tried one more time. She knew EXACTLY what was wrong and worked STAT!!! THANK YOU DR CURTIS!!!!!

Dr. Curtis listens, cares, and serves her patient. She asks questions to determine the whole medical puzzle. After 5 years of searching for a medical answer with many other doctors, Dr. Curtis found it. I finally have hope again that I can live my life.

Dr. Curtis is amazing and by far the best doctor I have met. She is pleasant and attentive. Visiting her is like visiting a friend. If you have a real medical problem, and not a drug problem, she’s the best doctor to help you. I don’t need to see any other doctor now that I have her. She’s treating my medical problem and I feel so much better. She’s genuinely concerned about her patients’ health. She doesn’t RX painkillers or opioids. All of you bad reviewers move onto a substance abuse doctor.

She is hands down the worst doctor I have ever encountered in my entire life. She was rude, hardly looked at me, never answered qsts, answered personal calls during our appointment and was just out to get my $$$

She was a terrible doctor who seems to have an anger management issue. She cussed out another doc on the phone while I was in her room. She complained about not getting paid enough. She was rude, obnoxious and obviously only cared about her bottom line. Do your self a favor and shun this doc at all costs!

Very good doctor indeed! I were lucky to be assigned to her thru my primary physician. Attentive to the needs of her patients. And knows sleep preps well.
