I have been receiving care from Dr Jinnah for my cervical dystonia for many years now. He is the best! I always let him know how lucky I am to have him as my neurologist.He always takes his time, explains everything he is doing, and listens to any concerns or questions I might have. I couldn't ask for a more caring and capable healthcare provider.
