Dr Muhlhofer has been amazing and a huge part of my recovery process.
Since the discovery nearly 40 years ago of a tumor in my left temporal lobe, I've seen hundreds of medical professionals. Dr. Muhlhofer ranks first. He is attentive and engaging, an excellent listener, and highly effective at explaining complex concepts. What sets him apart is his ability to break down intricate medical information in a way that feels accessible and clear. He approaches explanations with a structured, comprehensive method that covers all aspects of an issue, leaving little room for confusion.After appointments like this, I'm usually left with a million follow-up questions-but with Dr. Muhlhofer, I had few. That's a testament to how thoroughly and thoughtfully he communicates. He's incredibly patient, welcoming question after question with genuine warmth and care. My wife and I were both struck by the time he dedicates to his consultations, never making us feel rushed. He's also remarkably mindful when sharing difficult news, handling it with both honesty and compassion.Dr. Muhlhofer isn't just a brilliant physician-he's a deeply caring human being. I feel fortunate to be under his care.
Dr Mulhofer , is well informed about my daughter's current condition and any prior Hospital admittances or Doctor's visits. He is always well prepared and is able to summarize events since our last visit. He is patient and compassionate and able to suggest new treatments to give us hope at each visit. He works with us to clarify rescue plans and has a way of making his patient and carer feel understood . As he once said " you are not alone " , just what we needed to hear. Thank you Dr Mulhofer, for all you do.
Very impressed and relieved to have a Dr and staff that does everything they can to accommodate my son [...] and to provide us with clear information and instructions.
Excellent care, very thorough. He patiently answered all my questions and provided great support.
Was very attentive and listened to me and my spouse about all of my issues not just his specialty because we did not know if it was relevant or not [...] He was not just very good... He was excellent!
Dr. Muhlhofer has gone above & beyond to provide care. We happily make the trip from [...] to see him.
Excellent care and diagnosis about what plan is for my care plan.
Superior treatment
He was, and still is, a fantastic doctor. He answered questions, asked more than I have been asked with two other neurologists. I felt like he was more of a get to the bottom of the problem(s) instead of skating by
Excellent! Dr. Muhlhofer always responds with clear explanations in response to questions asked. Additionally, he has been willing to brainstorm/explore different options to address issues as they arise. He listens and is very respectful.
Both the resident & *Dr. W Mahlhofer were outstanding. They discussed multiple options and pros & cons of each.
Very personable and realistic
My favorite epilepsy specialist to date!
