I can't say enough about Dr Cabaniss. I would rate him higher than a ten!!!! He was professional, patient and knowledgeable. I left my visit feeling very hopeful since the first time I was diagnosed with epilepsy.Emory is lucky to have him!

We waited over a year to see Dr Cabiness and it, honestly, was worth it! He was very thorough, took plenty of time, and was extremely knowledgeable.

Dr. Cabaniss is knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He has offered options when possible but always respected my treatment plan choices. His team is great at sending prescription refill requests and responding to MyChart messages. I feel both supported and respected by Dr. Cabaniss. Highly recommend!

Dr. Cabaniss is top notch. The best neurologist I have had....and I have been seeing them for 60 years for epilepsy. I believe his skill set and listening ability are 10 of 10. Great doctor.

Every since I had my aneurysm in my head my Doctor said that in his opinion on the subject of how I am doing and together we both came up with a solution for me to stay on my meds for the next few months and then we both are going to re-evaluate this matter.

Dr. Cabaniss is an excellent doctor so far. He is thorough, not in a hurry, and he really listens to your questions and answers.
