MD Sahebjam shows always care and patience with me and listen to my feedback during my treatment. The assistant took enough time to ask and note all my inputs before we met the doctor.

My provider was great. That said, it was extremely difficult to get her office to schedule an appointment for me. I don't know if they were just overwhelmed or what, but I was surprised it took me over three weeks to get an appointment when I was referred to her by another Johns Hopkins neurologist.
