Dr. Oakley is amazing and here's all my questions and concerns openly and kindly addresses them
Dr Oakley listened well and answered all my questions and reiterated that he won't give up.
Dr. Oakley is very attentive and thorough. I have recommended him to others I know [...]
Don't loose Dr. Oakley !!!
Dr. Oakley is an incredible neurologist. He goes above and beyond in his work.
Dr. Oakley always listens, cares, and is open to discussion about next steps.
Dr. Oakley is a rare specialist who is not threatened by patients who are intelligent and informed regarding their own medical conditions. He instead acknowledges the degree to which I understand my conditions and speaks to me at a high technical level, further stretching my knowledge. I get the sense that he scales the level of technicality in his explanations according to the degree to which his patient is equipped to understand what he's talking about.
Dr. Oakley treats me like an equal and was very good at explaining and discussing the various theories and avenues of research, but unfortunately they simply don't know yet what the underlying cause is, nor do they have a way to directly treat the problem of [...]. The science simply hasn't advanced far enough yet for them to be able to provide definitive answers, let alone treatments.
Dr Oakley's expertise in this field is unsurpassed, and yet he still manages to exercise great patience with and concern for his patients well-being
Dr. Oakley is always extremely attentive and conscientious. He solicits patient input upfront and listens to concerns and updates during follow-up appointments. He thoroughly explained all treatment options to update or evolve my treatment plan. Overall, he's very supportive and wants to provide the best possible treatment. [...]
I continue to find Dr Oakley an exceptional doctor in every way.
Dr. Oakley is an excellent provider.
Dr. Oakley's care and manner are beyond excellent. He is well informed on the subject of dysautonomia, medications, and treatment options. He Works to mitigate symptoms as best as possible, which is the only option, currently for patients with dysautonomia. I know we are all hopeful there will be a breakthrough in the etiology soon.
Dr. Oakley's careful attention to my ongoing symptoms, tests/results ordered by him and consultations [...] with him has been very good. Unfortunately, so far there is no definitive diagnosis or treatment for my worsening symptoms. Dr. Oakley has asked me to feel free to communicate further with him, if necessary, through 'My Chart' messaging system.
I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Oakley. He does such an excellent job listening to concerns, explaining things in a way I can understand, and keeping track of things to follow up on appointment to appointment (even when months have passed). I always leave these appointments feeling empowered and hopeful!
Very impressed. Appreciated that he took his time to explain everything.
This was a very good experience and I will recommend Dr Oakley to others.
I really liked the care Dr Oakley provided.
[...] feels lucky to have Dr Oakley as his doctor. The doctor listens well, educates, involves us. We feel confident in his competence.
Dr. Oakley is the best!
