Neurologists who are Physicians - Venice, FL

"Ruffing is a nasty man. Getting full and honest information out of him is like pulling teeth. He refused to give me a precise diagnosis and said 'it doesn't make any difference' what is causing my problems. After consulting with others, I have learned a great deal about the specific cause of my neurological condition, and yes, it does make a difference. He was dismissive, and he berated me, something I've never experienced from a doctor. I don't know why I haven't changed neurologists before now. I have a progressive problem and he was neither informative, caring, or polite."

"Approximate date of service. Absolute complete waste of time, and cost me many months of unnecessary discomfort. "

"When I first saw Dr. Hanes 2 years ago, I was a total mess with undiagnosed Myasthenia Gravis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bone on bone hips. He diligently explored and tested all of my systems and ultimately provided a remedy for the MG via infusion while referring me to appropriate and excellent specialists for the other problems. The MG and arthritis are both still in remission and the hips have been replaced. I feel like a new man and will be eternally grateful to this very skilled physician."

"Unless you have an obvious condition, don't expect much. He gives you at most 5 minutes to voice your symptoms."

"I've known for years that my memory and cognitive abilities have been in sharp decline. I've seen too many Neurologists who were dismissive, didn't listen, relied on a very short mini cog test (with prompts for correct answers that I couldn't remember), and who couldn't get in and out of the exam room fast enough. Dr. Sabodash is none of that. He was the first specialist who took time to listen, actually ordered diagnostic testing to narrow determine just exactly what I was dealing with. He persisted until he reached a diagnosis - something I thought was unattainable - I mean, I'm a single widow on disability. Doctors before Dr. S evidently didn't see much value in a person like me, so why bother, right? Dr. Valeriy Sabodash truly cares about each patient that enters his practice. He is extremely compassionate, thorough, humble, and crazy intelligent. Please allow my (years long) journey (trying to find a Neurologist who takes his Oath very seriously) guide your quest for an outstanding Neurologist. Dr. Sabodash is everything a Physician should be, and more. You needn't look any further. I am blessed to have found him, and honored to be his patient."

"Awful. Took my brother there. He ordered the ct scan and eeg. The office refused to give me any information regarding the ct scan before his next appointment. His brain had swelled to the point that he needed immediate surgery and yet I had to wait 6 weeks to get the results and get that information. Dr madden thought someone had contacted me. He even went so far as to insist he faxed the results, I don’t have a fax number. Awful. "
