Dr. Thomas Giancarlo, MD

I went here because many neurologists have a year or more wait. I was advised I could get my migraine and medical shots at the same time. When I showed up for my shots the associate said I couldn't have both on the same day. I sat there for 3 hours. Mind you I was already 6 months behind from waiting. Every other neurologist before him gave me both shots. I was going to Cleveland and it had two separate clinic for each issue. I finally got my shots but they literally let blood run down my face. I was extremely stressed so my medical disorder was flared. Then I went to make another appointment because I cannot go without these shots. It would take me a year to get in somewhere else. The only reason I came here was because the scheduling of appointments. When you are in network with insurance company you take what they offer other than coinsurance and deductible the patient is responsible for. I waited two months for this office to call so I already took action.

I think that Dr. Giancarlo is an excellent doctor. The problem with this practice is that they are medically under staffed. (I know that this is still true of my medical facilities.) I had a lumbar puncture done and the results should be ready in 2 weeks. It is stressful waiting for the results! However I have to wait 3 weeks to get the results because that was the earliest appointment I could get even with a PA!

Listened to my concerns. Answered all my questions. Not rushed. Office staff friendly.

Friendly staff, quick and courteous

Dr. Giancarlo is a very good doctor and takes time with me.

Very personable, easy to talk to and Dr. Giancarlo does not make you feel that the reason you came to see him was unimportant. Explains the reason and need for particular tests to be done, and then thoroughly explains the tests results. Takes time to explain the results so the unmedically knowledgeable person will understand. Did not rush the appointments so that makes the patient feel more comfortable and more relaxed to asked questions. My husband was with me, in the exam room, and told me later how impressed he was with Dr. Giancarlo. I would highly recommend Dr. Giancarlo to any person searching for a neurologist. Thank you.

First doctors visit I waited a long time I had already made up in my mind I wasn’t coming back but before I left the staff informed me that I need to make a morning appointment so that’s what I did and that was about a year and a half ago I been loving everyone here I wouldn’t change a thing about them oh I think they need some new waiting room chairs just being honest and there not all wore out they just have a lot of hair on them but please give them a try I promise you will love everyone that works here kind,gentle,well spoken and all of the 5 star reward.THANK YOU MICHIGAN NEUROLOGY ASSOCIATES AND STAFF

When I 1st went to Michigan Neurology Associates (MNA), I saw Dr. Giancarlo once or twice, had a few tests, and was prescribed a med and had another adjusted. He never took time to fully explain my diagnosis, how it may progress, and what to expect. For the next few years, I went to MNA, saw either a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant, and got refills, always after long waits, even at checkout. When I got worse, I got appts with Dr. Giancarlo many times, but then always saw a PA or NP instead. They did adjust meds, but I couldn't see him. It seemed the office wanted to get more people through so they could bill rather than address people's concerns. There was one NP that finally took time with me and had me feeling better, but she soon left. I finally met with Dr. Giancarlo once after many years, but only for a few minutes and could not ask the questions I wanted to. I finally found a new doctor. Everyone sent him my records except MNA. Took 2 years to get MNA to send them.

I want to thank Dr Giancarlo for his caring professionalism. He was the first neurologist who cared enough to help understand the root cause of my medical problem. I truly appreciate that he worked hard to help identify the problem and provide a path forward. He said ?we have homework to do?. I also appreciate his open and honest communication. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Dr G, if you read this.....thank you.

I very much appreciate everything that Dr. Giancarlo and the staff doing for my health.Dr. Giancarlo is a great doctor, explain my condition as well my treatment options.The staff is professional and friendly. I recommend to anyone looking for neurologist.

He is very condescending. Took out his prescription pad and told me that he’s the doctor. He refused to allow my input in my own medical treatment. I have painful neuropathy and treated me like a drug addict because I need medication to relieve my pain. I wouldn’t recommend him to an ant.

I’d give zero stars, but it doesn’t allow. Dr. Giancarlo should hang up his jacket. My mother was referred to him by her primary for memory loss. At her appointment the end of 2019, he walked in and addressed her as a “very sick woman” and went on as the nurse tried interjecting that he had the wrong chart and was in the wrong room. Even if he was in the correct room, IS THAT HOW YOU ADDRESS A PATIENT?! He then got the correct chart & told my mother that she had been there a year prior and she said she didn’t recall. His response, “What, do you live in a black hole?” Real class act. Needless to say she didn’t have any further appointments with him. Not sure how much people were influenced into giving positive reviews on here, because any other site he has horrible reviews, with mention of the terrible treatment, bedside manner, patients being in tears. We have filed a complaint with Beaumont Hospitals.

He is well educated in his field of Neurology.

Dismissive with disdain for previous documentation, test results and diagnosis. Let’s whatever is irritating him creep into his time with you. Gave him the benefit of the doubt since I was desperately seeking an answer to suffering with life altering neuro problems due to bacterial infection missed by previous doctors. Put me through months of testing that left me in worse condition than I arrived with then told me I was ‘making it up’. I am amazed that he is still holding a functioning Med practice. Disheartening to say the least.

I have been going to him for 9 years. Since I been going many of my diagnosis have been found by him. Things was wrong and other doctors kept telling me something else. He truly gets to the bottom of your problem no matter how long.

I have been with Michigan Neurology for many years and I always had a good experience. The physicians are awesome. They are very thorough and go above and beyond in making sure I am satisfied with my care & treatment.

This doctor LOVES to run several VERY expensive tests but by his own admission is only able to diagnose patient neurological conditions 40% of the time. Sorry, not good enough! ! Also VERY arrogant and does not seriously consider patient input in diagnosis.

Very efficient and thorough from check in to check out. Very sincere about my input of what my needs and wants were. Almost no wait time. I would refer your office to others.

Was very professional, always helpful, very caring, listened to concerns and offered comprehensive options.

Everything was quick and easy. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and my visit was very informative of what my next steps are. Left the facility satisfied.
