    Most comprehensive review and neurological assessment I have received in years. Dr. Radcliffe took great care to obtain thorough history of my neurological condition and was very receptive and attentive to every detail of information presented by both myself and my spouse. He presented clear plan going forward to both continue current treatment of symptoms and investigate further testing to determine precise etiology of my condition in order to more thoroughly understand the possibilities of new therapies as they might become available through scientific research.

    Dr. Radcliff was extremely thorough and has a great 'bedside manner'.

    Dr Radcliffe listened to my concerns of continuing to take medication when I think my seizures were the result of poor diet/stress/inconsistent exercise which have all been addressed in my new habits. He submitted an authorization/referral for a MRI to look at my current brain imaging to rule out any abnormalities or changes. He also reviewed what Keppra's side effects were and was not a side effect (my low White Blood Cell count).

    It felt like the doctor took the time and listened to me and my husband and seemed like my concerns were validated it was refreshing. The exam appeared to be very thorough and even though I struggled the doctor was very patient with me.

    Dr. Radcliffe is an extraordinary physician, in my experience, as he's extremely detail oriented, thorough, compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled, patient, and more....I really can't say enough about how much I appreciate the care he has provided for me. It's really difficult to put forth the amount of effort he does, especially in these rather trying times of change in the healthcare setting, so he deserves all the kudos in the world and I want him to know he's appreciated and has made a tremendous difference for me. It took me 2 years to find him from the time my problem first began, but it was worth the wait. Thank you, Dr. Radcliffe...!!!

    Dr Radcliffe-Absolutely outstanding Doctor-he gave me the most thorough neurological exam I've ever had. He was constantly communicating with me, telling me what he was doing, and what to expect next, for the entire duration of the testing. I was very, very impressed with his kindness and concern for my comfort.

    I received an incorrect referral from my primary to see Dr Radcliffe. Even though my health concern was not his area of practice, he took time to explain to me what he was interpreting from my recent radiology results and offered me a new direction, one which my primary was unable to provide. He submitted new referrals to the correct departments to help get me on the correct path. A huge thank you to Dr. Radcliffe. So Appreciative.

    Dr. Radcliffe was very informative with every step that he performed during the entire visit.

    Although the Second part of the testing that I had done was quite painful and I wish to never repeat that test again. The doctor was amazing when I needed a break he listened and didn't pressure me to hurry up. He was very understanding and I know he didn't want to make it painful. And I appreciated him warning in advance that it would be painful.

    Dr. Radcliffe has great reassuring bedside manner, especially since he was doing the painful EMG test on my muscles with inserting needle electrode, which is not fun.
