    He did not take time to listen to my symptoms and he was gone out of the office within three minutes. He did not listen to me.

    I have taken a Datscan and the results weren't good. I have Parkinsonism and have REM sleep disorder. But I don't have any idea what this means for my future. I have balance issues. Dr said that he was referring me for physical therapy.

      Neurology staff was wonderful. I have been a patient of Dr. Omar's for years. I do not feel that he listened to my concerns. We went through my concerns at the beginning of the appointment and he agreed to them, but then progressing through the appointment, giving me the Botox shots, he did the opposite of what he said that he would do. I will not be returning and am currently seeking another neurologist.

      He diagnosed me without speaking to me first. He had a preconceived diagnosis before entering the room, and the diagnosis he gave me did not match the symptoms I listed. I had no pain, but he prescribed a medication I will not take, and didnt seem to want to do any testing and wrote me off as a "win".

      Everyone in the office was so warm and kind. I was really nervous about my appointment because I've felt brushed off in the past by other nurses/doctors but my nurse was great and willing to answer any questions I had before the doctor came in which helped put me at ease. Doctor Omar was really great as well, which I had already heard from other doctors and patients of his that I know. He listened to everything I had to say and I feel like he is going to do whatever he can to figure out what's going on with me.

      I think he was very, very thorough. He listened to our problems. He understood her very well. He took her concerns that she was having. He asked questions about her headache, did a thorough exam. He was very forthcoming. He explained her conditions. He listened to her problems. He went through her symptoms very well. He listened to me and my concerns extremely well. Out of all the doctors that she'd seen and everything else, he took our concerns very well and did a very thorough exam. And I would definitely recommend him as a neurologist to anyone that was having headaches or anything like that. He's done exceptionally well. I think he is an exceptional neurologist and I would recommend him to anyone that was having headaches or any neurological problems. He was just an exceptional doctor.

      I got to go get my medicine, the shot. My PA was called right in the next morning, and I appreciate that so much. I got my medicine, and thank you so much. That shot has helped my head tremendously. I'm like 90% now on my headaches. Thank you so much, and I appreciate you all.

      Dr. Omar was wonderful. He was right on time. He listened very intently and was very, very informative as well, taking into consideration your health history, all of your medications, carefully going over them to make sure that anything he might prescribe will not interact. His recommendations were absolutely spot on, and I just think he's great. I think he's fantastic.

      The timeliness and promptness of being seen is some of the best I've ever had by a provider. And I really appreciate that, you know, that was respect to have that. And I can see that that is likely what is in mind when regarding probably my feedback, you know, I could tell because especially where it was my first time there and I'm establishing my care related to an injury, I had a lot of concerns and questions to understand. And I could tell that there was a rush, even though he would ask questions out of me, but I just wasn't ready to, or had a quick way

      He was very good at what he did. He talked where I could understand what he wanted. And he said that he would do the testing before he gave me any other information because he wasn't for sure exactly what was wrong. He thought he did. And he put me on some new medicine that will help. So, you know, and he didn't mention surgery and I loved that. So, you know, I like this doctor.

      I love the care Dr. Omar gives me, his staff, and everybody in the office, and especially King's Daughters overall. Everybody's there to help you if you're lost, and it doesn't matter if it's a janitor or someone, they will stop and help you, so I just love that. And I only live a couple blocks away, so I'm blessed to have you all in my community. Thank you, bye.
