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.
