My experiences are not just good they are superb. I have never been gaslit about my condition nor the facts about the role that I play in maintaining a healthy self. Dr Esper is not only an asset to Emory Neurology, but to me and my family.

On the last page I forgot to mention something. I had to change my appointment last night to virtual. I called them and they marked it as high priority. That afternoon they had it changed for me.

I cannot imagine a more thorough, patient, compassionate, and knowledgeable neurologist than Dr Esper. Trust me, I saw many before finding Dr. Esper. My husband was exasperated seeing me hurt and I was from seeing neurologist. I agreed to try again, but only if going to Emory. My husband found several for me to review and I chose Dr Esper based on comments and ratings from other patients he had seen.

I had had vertigo for an extended period of time, but by the time I got to him it had resolved. He reassured me that it was positional vertigo and not any of fears I had , told me about the YouTube video demonstrating the maneuver to help with vertigo. He said if in the future the maneuver doesn't help to get back in touch with him.
