    Dr. Factor came to the appointment prepared to discuss the questions that I had raised in a portal post. I like how he takes notes of what we talk about, and his clinical notes accurately and pertinently reflect what we spoke about and if anything, we're generous and forgiving of errors on the client's part. When we talked to Dr. Factor, we could trust that he is relying on the best up-to-date information available.

    I know Dr Factor is one of the best in the world at what he does and I have always enjoyed a good rapport with him. I feel like we did not communicate well on this project. I feel like the lack of support has made the new therapy more difficult for me to learn than for many others who had more timely feedback. I'm not sure if I did something to lose his confidence, but I sense that is a possibility.

    Dr. Factor is probably as good a neurologist as one can find. His knowledge is trusted The patient, unfortunately, is at a stage where therapies are not established, and he doesn't respond predictably. So, while it was frustrating that the doctor didn't have solutions, it is acknowledged that nobody who knows whereof they speak does, either.
