Dr. Dempster is obviously very knowledgeable and also very respectful. I am so happy to have him as my provider; my previous neurologist knew little about epilepsy and I am grateful for Dr. Dempster's knowledge and professionalism. I finally feel like I am in excellent care for my condition.

Explains things very well and hears my worries.

This was a good visit, in that Dr. Dempster listened to both patient and mother, was cognitive of patients idiosyncrasies, was aware of issues over the course of the last year since patient's last visit. Also Dr. John took time to "visit" with patient about things that patient wanted to say even though some of this he had heard before. The effort of coming to the doctor did leave patient tired/cranky...which gives affirmation that a yearly check-up is sufficient.

I think that this appointment could have been easily done via zoom and not having to bring our son with Autism / Epilepsy into the office where he really isn't excambed at all due to his hyperactivity

This was a regular follow up to manage treatment for a genetic condition. I am unlikely to recommend this Doctor solely because he is a specialist.

I really appreciate Dr. Dempster. He is great! He has a different staff every time I go in, however. This time when I called on the day of the visit, I couldn't get an answer or return call about the visit.

Dr Dempster had especially good "bedside manner" during this visit which is the only area I think he can ever improve in. (Double compliment, not a complaint)
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Dempster had all of my records from my previous doctor, and more importantly, had gone over them and had several concerns. He explained how my current medications were effecting my other medical conditions, and offered a plan to change to medications with fewer side effects. Very pleased with my visit.

Medical assistant disregarded patient preferences. Receptionist was very good.

It would be more beneficial if the provider was allowed more time with the patient (me). Got the sense that we were in a hurry.

This was my 1st visit so not completely able to form a precise opinion yet. However, staff & doctor were wonderful & prepared.

This was a routine visit for my Parkinsons, and I actually find myself looking forward to my visit with Dr. Dempster. Thanks to his recommendations and my following his advice, I have experienced great success in combating the onset of Parkinsons symptoms.

I think what was missing is the look into my history and the prescription history. I feel like I'm just stuck back on the treadmill with a wait and see option.
