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.

He was very good to me and good with me after being a bit off putting in our first interviews.

Doctor is a quack. His staff members are rude and clueless about Alzheimer’s disease. He dictates in front of you. Outdated, antiquated office.

Dr. Holub has ads on TV about his research on Alzheimers in people with Parkinson's Disease. I've called twice and emailed once. No response. It's been 10 days. The clinic phone rings and rings but no person or answering machine answers. I was reluctant to call because my best friend told me horror stories about how Holub treated her husband when he was suffering from Alzheimers. After reading Holub's credentials, I decided to get into the clinical trials even tho he's not well liked. I was going to continue be treated by my current neurologist while participating in Holub's study. That won't happen. Holub should have the courtesy to have his staff return calls and inform us that the study is full, if that's the case. Arrogant people don't care about other people.

Wonderful Doctor. Have been bringing patients to him for years. Sees my sister for cognitive decline related to several additional problems. Always pleasant, knowledgeable and available between appointments. His downstairs Research Center is a blessing . Any wait in his office is worth the expertise.

I have Cluster headaches. I went to Dr. Holub for help. as it turned out, he really didn't know what to do. I had a to wait up to 4 hours to get into the patient room. He is too interested in his research, not you, the patient.

Thought Dr. was great and with involvement in MS thought he was up to date on newer treatments. However, switched to a new Neuro because if issues with Holubs staff. at least 3 time I showed up with my card with scheduled appointment and was told my appointment was for the day before. Even showed the card they had written out and was still refused by front desk to be allowed to see dr. and then they had the nerve to try and charge me for missed appointment.

I am not a patient. My husband is. My dad was. Dr. Holub is always informative as well as a good listener. He is thorough and knowledgeable. The office staff has always been friendly and attentive.

He had not looked at my MRI that was sent by my neurologist before I came and never followed up with referral for cognitive testing and now months later, has not submitted my office exam notes to my neurologist - all things he said he would do. Most of the appt was him dictating into his phone. I am profoundly disappointed and would not recommend him. On top of it all his office staff was rude and the office itself hasn't been updated since the 60's including the sketchy bathroom.

He will keep you waiting for hours and his knowledge of current, up-to-dats medicine is lacking. He is rude and disrespectful because you will not be treated fairly and left to wait for hours on end in the waiting room....
