Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the Best Neurologists!
I have been treated by Dr. Hedges for several years regarding migraines. She is always professional, listens attentively, and has an excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend her as a provider.

As soon as we arrived for our appointment, we were acknowledged in a friendly manner. Exactly at our appointment time we were taken into to see Dr. HEDGES. She is always friendly and very professional. She quickly asks the right questions and proposes solutions. She listens to all your concerns and you leave her office feeling heard and with a health plan.

My visit with Dr. Hedges was a very positive experience in so many ways. She is local, so traffic and parking was not a problem. My check in and appointment were both on time and I was greeted by a very pleasant staff (no grumpies here). Dr. Hedges' nurse is a great asset to this team being professional and personable. She also called me when lab results were received. Meeting with Dr. Hedges was a pleasant experience as she too was both professional and personable. She really listened to me and explained her findings in a way that I could understand. I felt totally at ease and not rushed. I look forward to having Dr. Hedges on my medical team. In short, I would highly recommend Dr. Hedges if you are in need of a neurologist's care.

Was referred to Dr. Hedges by my PCP. Office staff was professional and pleasant. Dr. Hedges was sensitive to my concerns and being a first visit she took plenty of time to understand my history. I recommend Dr. Hedges to anyone needing a neurologist.

I appreciate the fact that I never feel rushed when I visit. She takes the time to truly listen and, if necessary, push behind the façade I might present in order to see what is really going on. She is also open to listening to ideas I might have and takes the time to answer any questions.

If you want an office with helpful, courteous, knowledgeable people, use Midwest Neuroscience Institute. My doctor, Kathryn Hedges, MD, always takes the time to listen and talk with me (not at me and not listen). Questions are answered so that I understand them. Treatment is explained and why.
