He and the team were absolutely fantastic. He had scheduled his sit-down with me before my EMG but was running late so he took a few minutes to pop in to meet me and tell me he didn't want to cut our meeting time short for the EMG. He re-scheduled our sit-down time for after the EMG with him and his interns and gave me all the time that I wanted/needed to answer all of my questions and discuss treatment options. This was after their official end of day, the waiting room was empty when I got back from my EMG, the secretaries were all gone for the day etc.
One of his interns did the history questions and physical strength testing tests that go with all initial neuro visits (chicken wings, walk on toes, walk on heels etc.) but he made himself available for quite a long conversation to answer everything I had to know and provided me with a big folder full of reading material for the plane... I think I've read most of it already online, but he was very thorough, very friendly. He told me that he'd be happy to see me again any time I need to, just get my GP to refer him and he'd see me again. My neuro is currently out on leave, leaving my local area void of them. Dr. Nicolle recommended a few that he knows in close cities.
It was a very positive experience and I'm glad I did it.
