Interested in work to help enhance the delivery of patient-doctor relationships. Using the doctor-patient relationship as a modality of studying to improve patient outcomes, launching patients for success back from specialty to family physician.
Would love to develop and be part of helping models to help patient succeed locally. Help develop care models to help patient care of chronic disease to succeed without not creating more burden (for lack of better words) on specialist caring for chronic disease.
I truly find my work on S3 an honor and privilege. I feel very honored every day to put my tie on and coat to walk from the parking garage to the S3 floor. It is a rewarding experience to sort out the stories and to be integrated in an organized system. Anything to help S3 grow and develop as a comprehensive neurological floor will be asset.
The teaching opportunities with student and residents truly is my selfish and joyous professional work. I thank Dr. Samples, Dr. Levin, Dr. Mays, and Dr. Kriegler for this opportunity to teach.

Dr. Wilson is a wonderful, kind, professional doctor! He always shows personal interest in me and does his best to come up with a plan to address my concerns. It does feel a little frustrating to only be able to see him once a year and then to only do follow up questions through my chart but I know with him being part of Cleveland Clinic he doesn't get to be in control of these things. His front desk staff is extremely problematic though. They're slovenly, seem bothered to have to deal with the public and need replaced with people as dedicated and personal as the Doctor they serve.

I know Neuro ANS is busy all over the country but expecting our home providers who know nothing to take over after a consult without more guidance is causing a lot of anxiety. I felt so hopeful leaving the office but my local office typically takes 3 months to get in, but also they just don't have the knowledge and they also work 12-14 hrs/day.
