Hi PoppyRoad,

Sorry to hear your appointment did not go better. So frustrating going through that and feeling you wasted your time. I don't know what it is with neurology as a specialty. Having known many neurologists from work experience I found that only very few of them seemed personable, maybe just one of those things. However, there is a big difference between feeling a doctor wasn't personable and just plain didn't listen or blew you off. I think with specialists you expect will need to follow you for some time it is vital that you feel comfortable they are taking what you say into account. I have decided that for me it is less important to like my doctor than to feel confidence in them, but if they don't listen then forget it! There are some great doctors out there and there is no reason to settle. Sometimes it takes a few consults to find a keeper.
