    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.

    Dr Jinnah is an AMAZING neurologist. I have been a patient of his for over 10 years, and I would highly recommend him. He is kind, listens to any questions I may have about my treatment, and takes the time to thoroughly address those questions. He is the epitome of what a doctor and caregiver should be!
