Dr. Botsford has been extremely careful to listen to and understand all my questions, problems and concerns. She has responded to each question or concern with easy to understand and very complete answers and additional information. She works hard too involved me in decision-making about future approaches. Could not ask for a better relationship with a neurologist.

The provider, Dr. Botsford, took the time to get to know me as a person and evaluate how my symptoms/diagnosis affects me in my work environment. I appreciated being given options and and the respect of feeling in control of my own healthcare choices.
