The staff was very friendly and helpful
Everyone is friendly and professional.very knowledgeable about my health
Please! Include specific building name on appointment confirmation. Only address and suite number is included. There are 4 buildings at the MH location and I almost missed my appointment because I went to the South Tower. Then I appeared to be "anxious " to Dr. Lhatoo. Anxiety was situational and could have been prevented with more specificity in the appointment information. Otherwise great doctor and staff.
Dr. Lhatoo & his staff were kind & treated me like a real person. They took the time to listen to all my concerns & answered all my questions. I trust that they'll be able to help me achieve my goal of being seizure free.
I received timely and professional advice.
Love dr. Lhatoo!
I really like how this provider was very open-minded and he was willing to hear what I wanted out of this treatment. And I really like how in the beginning, rather than telling me what and how it was going to be, he asked me what my goals for my treatment... Like he asked me what my goals were, rather than telling me it's going to be A, B, and C. I really appreciate that. And he's very open-minded. He actually had the time to listen and hear what I had to say. And yeah. And also, like, he didn't rush us too much. He took the time to listen to what we had to say. Thank you.
Thank you
Dr is the best i ever met in usa ,so professional and caring .
Dr. Patty was not there. I did not find out until later that he had moved to Minnesota.
wonderful, caring team
Dr. Lhatoo is an amazing doctor. My husband and I appreciate every bit of his concern and the help that he has given us. He has directed us in the right direction for the procedures that are to come in the future. Thank you for all of the help and concern.
I was so impressed with Dr. Lhatoo. He was just what the ICU at Hermann Memorial said he would be for my brother. He took time with us and listened.
I was treated with dignity and respect and I'm just very, I'm so excited to find Dr. Lhatoo and hopefully we can get my epilepsy resolved. Thank you.
As always I felt taken care of and not rushed. The student doing his fellowship was very good and professional . Thank you for such good care.
Dr Lhatoo has such a considerate bedside manner with his patients and their caregivers. This is unique to Dr Lhatoo and not true of our myriad of specialists in Houston.
My family feels blessed to have found Dr. Lhatoo. He is not only kind and compassionate but also the VERY BEST neurologist I've ever had. His knowledge and experience has brought me the treatment that I've prayed to receive for a very long time. Thank you to him and his very capable team!
Dr Lhatoo is an amazing person and amazing physician. I will do anything I can to help him with patients like me trying to overcome epilepsy.
This man knows his stuff. He has empathy and great manners. He is an amazing physician. He explained the situation brilliantly and how medication can help as well as the possible side effects.
Excellent care and concern.
The visit to see Dr. Lhatoo was great. It's very convenient for me based on where I live. Dr. Lhatoo knew my history and explained some details about [...] that i did knot know. i appreciated that. The nurse, [...], was super nice. The front desk lady was super nice as well. It was a first class visit. Thank you.
able to get me in whenever, before I had an appointment, that was good.
The treatment and the courteous manner of everyone was terrific. Really appreciate that they treated us like we were important and not in a hurry to get to the next patient
Dr. Lhatoo was so compassionate and empathetic. He listened to my concerns and had immediately developed a plan to help. He took his time and even spoke to other family members via telephone. His staff was also very nice and paid attention to my needs. I left the office feeling encouraged and rejuvenated with a since of hope.
I feel like this appointment could be a turning point.
Dr. Lhatoo is very professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He is responsive in addressing all of our questions concerning our daughter. We are very thankful for him. We relocated from [...] hoping to have better medical care. We have been very pleased.
I wish we could have communicated from [...]. Instead, we were made to communicate with Dr. Lhatoo within the Texas border. We had to find a comfortable, private facility with wi-fi available on [...]. We drove to a library in [...] ([...][...]) to teleconference from a private meeting room there. Our positive visit with Dr. Lhatoo was well worth the trouble.
Dr.Lhatoo is very professional and listens and provides good care for my condition!
Excellent visit with quality care and support. I did not feel rushed and the doctor spent a lot of time with me and trying to find the right solution for my problems
We appreciate being able to do a virtual appointment due to my husbands ability to travel.
