Default Bad Neuro

Dr. Herbert P. Edmundson Jr, MD, Ph.D

Avoid this guy like the plague. 7777 SW Freeway, Memorial Hermann, Houston.

This guy is a total freking idiot. He is didactic to a fault. Avoid him.

I will slam him on every board I can. I've never been so emotional about a specific doctor. He is a very arrogant jerk. I have never been so slammed by a doctor. I will refrain from calling him any names because I'll just get banned.

If ya want help with your MS or other neurological conditions - stay away from this guy. He's on another planet - no idea. He doesn't recognize MS. He's not a specialist - and told me today he didn't think I had MS. I took films, radiologists reports for the last 20 years... this guy thinks he's god and nobody knows better than him. Stupid...

Stay away from him. He's got a serious ego problem. And he's stupid. And Arrogant. And a fool.

His patient skills are very poor. I have no idea why I didn't walk out after the first two minutes but I really wanted answers why the peripheral neurapathy...

Tom

Disappointed

That sucks. I can't believe he questioned it - what a crock. You couldn't be more textbook if you tried. At least he didn't try to sell you on a DMD...What about Darah's neuro - she seems to really like him?

Tom I'm so sorry you had that experience! I too had a run in with an arrogant jerk of a neuro a few years back. That donkey made me second guess everything I felt and thought.....I am still infuriated every time I think about this man and the way he treated me! And he was supposed to be "one of the best"..........well, I know what he mighta been best at, but no way could I put it on here! I'll be thinking about you Tom!

You have to register at this one, but there are a lot of entries for TX. Maybe he's already there . . .

Oh man I can relate...I have had so many bad ones it is unreal.....

I am so dumb..or desperate I went to this one Dr, twice...And both times got up and hobbled out of there...In the middle of the exam....cussing him out...louder than a whisper and softer than a yell.

My sympathies Tom

this guy sounds like the worst of the worst.
i wouldn't even pay the bill.

in fact, i'd report him to his superior and/or the medical board.

i hope you get some satisfaction from this awful appt.
and get the answers you need somewhere else.
houston is a big town.
