I felt so relieved to be at Emory! My condition seems very vague at this point, and Dr. Tiliakos was impressive. He asked a lot of questions, he listened, he took notes. I felt like he was getting a good grasp of my experience, and I know that is a lot to take in in just one visit!

Dr. Tiliakos is excellent in his care, knowledge, and person-to-person skills. I always look forward to seeing him.
Dr. Tiliakos is one of my very favorite physicians at Emory (and I have had many). He was recommended to me (if I remember correctly) by the then-head of the Neurology Department. In more than 7 years, he has never failed to disappoint. At the last visit I began to recount for him the hell I had been through medically in the past few weeks, due to a PET scan and an infection for which I was not able to reach a physician or NP until it had done on for way too many weeks. I also told him the results of the PET scan, and when it was not what many of the docs had expected, I told Dr. T what I speculated it might be. He listened so beautifully and responded with such concern and empathy, I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I was. He suggested possible types of specialists to see re the results of the scan and then suggested some supplements known to shrink (my word) the blood vessels and improve blood flow. He was patient, attentive, caring, and had suggestions to stimulate the brain, such as a specific title of crossword puzzle and other games. I hope I am not too specific here about my personal visit or his feedback, but suffice it to say: the man never disappoints--even when the visit is not so full of medical concerns.
