2 Visits. First was a Neuro Exam. It was very, very Thorough. Ive had a few before and this Was More Complete than most and as good or better than any. Dr. Steijlen explained everything in detail and even went over a previous EMG in detail with me and what she wanted to accomplish with the EMG she ordered. Second meeting she explained everything In detail meaning results and what direction she thought I should go. She printed all my questions and her directives on all the things I should do. It was very conveinent for me on what different things she wanted done. Once again a very thorough meeting . She asked me at the end of the appointment If I had any more questions(a couple of times). She seems to care about her patients follow thru and well being alot!
