Both the medical student and the doctor were very detailed in how they listened to my issue and asked me questions in depth in order to properly diagnose and come up with ways to improve my condition. I am thankful I got this opportunity to speak with them and felt better about my condition with the more information I have received.

He listens and tries to balance what he thinks the next steps in my care plan should be with my own interests in pursuing different options.

While Dr. VanHaerents was unable to help me, his extensive history taking was enough to know that he could not help me.

Dr. VanHaerents is very knowledgeable about epilepsy in general and was well prepared for my initial visit. We went over all of the possible options to gain better control of my seizures, and he asked me how I felt about each of them. He was extremely thorough.I was particularly enthused about his desire to examine the records (EEG, MRI, etc.) himself rather than just rely on other neurologists' interpretation of these tests. As a scientist myself, I appreciated his need to 'see the data' himself before drawing any conclusions Since my case is complex, he made sure to order all necessary post-visit tests: MRI, multi-day ambulatory EEG, neuropsychological exam, ECG, and blood work (lamotrigine, vitamin D, CBC [complete blood count] w/ differential, & CMP [comprehensive metabolic panel].Most importantly, he listened to all of concerns and answered all of my questions.

He spends time listening to patients and getting to know them. He understands your hesitations about some treatment options and is respectful of your point of view. He addresses questions as needed. I never feel he is rushing me. I don’t mind waiting for him when I know I will get his full attention.

Dr. VanHaerents listens to me and respects my wishes as his patient. He shows empathy and care, and expresses passion for his work. I look forward to every single appointment I have with Dr. VanHaerents—I look forward to seeing him again, catching up over lost time, and learning more about my condition.He has helped me in ways I cannot put into words. As my provider, he has provided me with security and assurance when all I felt was fear. Slowly but surely, with the support and suggestions of Dr. VanHaerents, my seizures are improving, and I’m getting my life back.
