The only complaint I have is when I received a call back from the scheduler. I almost hung-up because I thought it was a junk call. I did not recognize the number and the first words from the person were "how are you?". The second was "so when would you like to come in?" (Or something similar to that question.). The person may have assumed I had the phone number on my phone so I would know that it was from Legacy. But my phone did not recognize the number. The scheduler was very friendly but needs to be cognicent of professionalism.

One of my best experiences with a health care provider. He was very thorough and seemed to relish the challenge of a diagnosis.

All staff from reception to MA were friendly and extremely helpful and caring.

If I knew someone who had epilepsy or multiple sclerosis I would recommend him in minute

  Aug 14, 2023
I think he's extremely smart and knowledgeable about my situation. I did feel rushed and the appointment was primarily about changing medication when I had more information

  Aug 7, 2023
If they have that conditions or so that they need to yes it would because you treated fairly and you get the knowledge you need

  Jul 19, 2023
Doctor was rude and condescending and brushed me off. PA left me in the office for ten minutes after doctor left and I had to ask if It was okay to leave. The only good experience was checking in at the front desk.

  Jul 3, 2023
Good

I was very satisfied with my consultation with Dr. Dempster even though my referring doctor did not pay attention that his specialty is epilepsy and my concern was nerve damage. My thanks to Dr. Dempster for sticking with me and give me the best care anyway.

  Jun 30, 2023
The receptionist was the most disrespectful receptionist I've ever encountered in a health care setting.

  Jun 14, 2023
Had answers to my health concerns. With added understanding, I can take better care of myself and relay info more accurately to others (ophthalmologist.)

  Jun 5, 2023
Dr. Dempster explains things well. He gives me option, but when asked will help make the decision. He is friendly - straightforward.

  May 17, 2023
I have been seeing Dr. Dempster for about ten years. Even though his office is some distance away. I'll stick with him because of his solid performance at relieving the serious pain I have incurred due to surgery I had to undergo for cancer excision to save my life. Dr. Dempster is the best and I owe my thanks and quality of life to him.

  May 2, 2023
I am so grateful to be able to see Dr. Dempster about my focal epilepsy. He is so knowledgeable and always shares all of the details I need to know. Thanks to Dr. Dempster my epilepsy is under control - very different from my previous neurologist.

I received a map to the building # one and phoned for advice about arriving and my being dropped off at the door and where my husband could park our car. From what we saw on the map and heard on the phone was nowhere in agreement with what we were told. But when I came, I found the parking entrance below the building o.k. (almost went past it). I had the impression that there was a nearby parking lot across a street. When phoning, there were looooong wait times to be answered. I think better directions could be written for coming from Williams Ave. Thank you.

Every time that I go see Dr. Dempster he listens to what my concerns are.

  Apr 14, 2023
This was the first time I've had to wait. The patient before me was late, and almost lost her appointment. This put everyone else behind. It wasn't Dr. Dempster's fault, and he apologized to me for making me wait and thanked me for staying.

  Apr 10, 2023
Provider is always friendly and concerned

  Apr 4, 2023
No wait.
