Dr. Llinas is fabulous! Very smart and professional. He always listens and never takes our concerns or questions lightly. He always gives us his full attention and never seems rushed to move on to another patient although we know he is busy.

He is the best provider I have seen in a long time - kind , thoughtful, thorough. I came out of the visit feeling heard , and cared for.

If I could rate Dr. Llinas a 15 out of 10, that's how much respect I have for him. He looked at my test results and provided a perspective that I had not received from other providers. He treated me as a person, as opposed to a disease process. AND best of all, he has a sense of humor, which is sadly lacking in many medical professionals - especially neurologists.

I really like going to Doctor Llinas.

My provider is as always very intent at what I am saying. He is reading my mental status as we speak. This is very important, because it is sometimes difficult to explain how I am feeling. I have seen him before now and he is able to see if there is any change in my behavior or speech.
