Alkmyst,
I go to Hopkins and my doc is in ill health (Griffin, head of the dept)
so I now see his PA - Tami.
She's been his PA for 6 years, and in my opinion has more on the ball
than most of the newer neuros that you might be 'assigned' to.
If you can, see if you can get on her schedule.
(BTW, she has a nice sense of humor & is very professional)
