Brian MacFalda, D.O., M.B.A.
My experience with Dr MacFalda is always exceptional and he always makes me feel relaxed when he speaks to me. He has always asked me how I am doing if I have been doing okay and also ask if I have any questions. He also asks me about my prescription and that he will be sending a new prescription for me. He also takes his time and never in a rush.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Though very friendly and courteous whenever I call the office I never ever get an answer, it's very hard to communicate by phone with the office. I don't necessarily feel heard when speaking to the doctor or medical staff, and appointments are very hard to get. I know he is in high demand but having to wait 4 months to see him when I feel I'm experiencing a problem with my head or brain is kind of discouraging

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My neurologist was knowledgeable and suggested I see specialists for some of my symptoms before linking them to MS. However, I felt like I may have overloaded him with information, and instead of taking notes or fully discussing my concerns, he seemed dismissive at times. While I appreciate that he acknowledged my symptoms, I expected a more in-depth discussion on how they might connect to MS. I also attempted to record my appointment so I could go back and be sure of what was said, as I have short-term memory issues. However, the site muted the audio, making it impossible to review the conversation. This is discouraging, as being able to listen again would be extremely helpful for me in processing medical information. I left feeling uncertain about my next steps and wish the visit had been more comprehensive and accessible for my needs.

Feb 21, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
This was an initial, meet and greet, session initiated as a result of a referral due to my neurologist closing his practice. I was thankful for the session being possible through Telehealth. To conduct the appointment face to face would have resulted in a two and a half hour drive one way. I did not know what to expect. I felt it satisfied my expectations and answered my questions. My seizures began about nine months ago and I do not yet have a feel for long term expectations. With that in context, I was pleased with the appointment.

I would tell them that on my very first visit with this doctor I had a seizure and they did nothing, not even go get the doctor do he could see one. I found that rather strange!

I have been trying to get my doctor's office to understand the urgency I feel about getting my migraine medicine approved so I can experience relief from horrible pain. One visit with Dr MacFalda on Friday, and Monday I got a message from Nicole that she was working on approval from insurance. Shortly after that I received a phone call from her that it was approved! She worked through getting me the lowest possible copay and has even arranged auto-shipments for my medicine so I don't have to worry about running out. After multiple calls to "primary care" office, being put off, no returned calls, no approval and another trip to his office to beg for help and being firm that I wanted a referral to a Neuroligist office, it was a total breath of fresh air dealing with an office staffed with people who truly care about their patients and do an excellent job all around. I would definitely recommend this office to others!!!
