    She told me fair considering about my health and how to handle it better than I did, therefore she said that it has some benefits to changing some things in my routine.

    I've worked with Nicole for several years now. She is an excellent practicioner. I moved out of town but will continue to see her for a few more appointments until I am 100% sure I've found a good neurology office in the town where I live. She is exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone needing care.
