    I consulted Johns Hopkins for a second opinion about a possible NPH diagnosis after feeling less than confident about my home town neurology department's treatment/diagnosis. By contrast, I have been consistently impressed by JH's treatment of my problem -- very confidence inspiring. This was true of the PT/OT/medical assistants and Dr. Moghekar.

    We are ordinary folks and arranged for this care while in France. We now have to live in Houston for healthcare for another family member. All the questions about the wisdom of doing this and the inconveniences of travel and long distances have been justified by the quality of care, results and professionalism of the care team.
