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.

Outstanding neurologist
I’ve been seeing Dr Douglas since 2/2020 for a rare vitamin B1 THIAMINE deficiency, that caused MS-like and many other neurological symptoms. I saw dozens of specialist’s who missed my diagnosis. For two years, he very caringly, painstakingly tested me to rule out other disorders. Always kind, empathetic, and encouraging of me being proactive in my care. He openly read the research I brought him, and worked with me in treating my Dry Beriberi disease that led to another diagnosis of severe SFN, affecting me head to toes. When I believed it was affecting my eyes too, he agreed to refer me to a Boston corneal SFN specialist. I have only great accolades for him. Finally, an excellent doctor who LISTENS to his patients!! 10 stars in my book. JF RN, BSN

Dr.Douglas is so phenomenal! He is thorough, kind, listens, and is top notch in his field! He returns messages on the Portal system, quickly and is responsive; always trying to help his patient, as best as he can. I am beyond grateful to have found such a wonderful Neurology Dr. in the area! He is far better than most other Dr's and practioners in his field, and beyond ... Thank you Dr.Douglas! He has a wonderful bed-side, patient manner, as well..

Dr Douglas is a good communicator particularly important since neurological science can be difficult to understand. He listens carefully and engages you in his analysis and recommended treatment. Dr Douglas respects his patients. Finally, he is very kind and compassionate.

Unfortunately health issues have made it necessary for me to interact with a number of doctors. I can say interaction with Dr. Douglas was amazing. Kind, knowledgeable and detailed - he is the "real deal" - a doctor that does more than go through the motions - he really focuses on patient. I would highly recommend him - great neurologist.
