Oct 05, 2024

Love the Provider, Hate the location!


Oct 05, 2024

Calm and.comfortable experience.


Oct 04, 2024

My provider is knowledgeable and ordered MRI to better evaluate my condition.


Sep 17, 2024

Dr Baird is phenomenal physician and a kind human. Office staff was wonderful.


Sep 14, 2024

Exceptionally through


Aug 07, 2024

I have every confidence in "this provider".


Aug 03, 2024

Dr. Youssefian-Halleran is the best neurologist I have ever met with. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and caring. She communicates very well and really seemed to care about my issues. She is the gold standard! The front office staff and medical assistant greeting me with a smile and were very pleasant to work with. Thank you.


Aug 03, 2024

Since Covid I think Drs saw soo much, were made to stay up soo many hours and to see so many painful stories right in front of their eyes, that some are just scarred and may never come out of it. Dr Yousef are none of those things, she is a breathe of fresh air with an appetizer of bedside manner. I wish all my Drs. Were like her, my health would be better!!


Jul 31, 2024

IVE HAD HUNDREDS OF DRS IN MY LIFETIME, AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY, JILL BAIRD IS ONE OF THE FINEST DOCTORS IVE EVER HAD.


Jul 28, 2024

I really like this clinic but I am especially going to miss Dr. Youssefian-Halleran who is leaving the clinic. She is a great provider.


Jul 26, 2024

Dr Germaine is smart, patient, thoughtful and professional. She listens. I am thankful to have met her.


Jul 24, 2024

Doctor Baird was extremely attentive to my health issues and questions. She gave me over an hour of her time. She was sensitive to my concerns and gave me a a plan of action that has been working very well to improve the quality of my health. During the appointment I felt that Doctor Baird was focused on me and gave me her complete attention. I really appreciate the time and attention I received from Doctor Baird.


Jul 22, 2024

I am super to sad to see her go. It has taken me a long to find a Nuro that cares.


Jul 22, 2024

Dr. Germaine is misinformed on how the practice operates. She told me that I needed to wait until a prior authorization was approved to make my BOTOX appointment. When I called the office 2 weeks later to check on the prior authorization, the office informed me that they do not even start the prior authorization until an appointment is scheduled, so they scheduled me an appointment. Dr. Germaine's inadequate knowledge of how her own practice operates caused me to have many unnecessary migraines due to this delay in care.


Jul 19, 2024

Overall, I was very happy with both the staff's conduct and helpfulness, but also with the provider. It was a good experience and I'm, sure I will feel the same after my follow up appointment in six months.


Jul 15, 2024

She asked good questions and I covered all the areas of the issues concerning me.


Jul 12, 2024

Very conscientious. Checked everything. Not at all rushed. I felt like I had very good care.


Jul 05, 2024

Dr. Baird provides an excellent combination of medical knowledge and communication and care to patient.


Jun 30, 2024

Dr. Baird is excellent as well as her staff.


Jun 28, 2024

Exceptional Doctor- she has improved my daily life adjusting my medication looking at my entire history and possibly saving my life digging deeper and finding contradictions with existing conditions and other medications that had been previously prescribed, advocating when insurance denied the alternative medicine and gaining approval and entire staff team is excellent too.


Jun 25, 2024

I'm always favorably impressed by the Lagacy Med Group.


Jun 24, 2024

Dr Germaine is a wonderful physician and extremely knowledgeable. She explains information clearly and provides options for treatment. I feel included in the plan of care and decision making. I feel so fortunate to be in her care.


Jun 20, 2024

My long wait time was because the patient before me was over 10 minutes late for their appointment because the medical transport they used was late. But the provider was kind and saw them anyway. I was okay waiting because I had the time and I know how medical transport can be unreliable. And I appreciated that the doctor didn't rush my appointment even tho the patient before me made her run behind schedule.


Jun 15, 2024

As a new patient, with a referral from my PCP, the wait time of 14 business days before they would even schedule an appointment is terrible. Something about needing time to verify and validate my referral is ridiculous. Does not show much trust in in your PCP's.


Jun 13, 2024

This provider is leaving so I wouldn't recommend her. Too bad, she is excellent!


Jun 13, 2024

Phone interactions, on numerous occasions, with reception that ended poorly - one even hung up on me.


Jun 12, 2024

This was a first time visit with Dr Baird. It was an excellent meeting. She ia highly professional, well spoken, new about my issues, provided all the information we needed. We had an open and clear conversation about my issue. Overall an excellent visit!


Jun 11, 2024

I had a good visit with Dr Leena Youssefian she told me about my health that my own doctor never told me and I thank her for that


Jun 11, 2024

Everything was great.


Jun 11, 2024

I'm sorry to say this but the nurse that did my intake had really terrible body odor. So bad that she stank up the room and made me gag. I had to breathe through my mouth while she was taking my vitals and it was a relief when she finally left. She was very sweet, but this was such a big negative for me.


Jun 11, 2024

Dr Leena is kind and sensitive and could not be happier with her. The staff is all nice and helpful.


Jun 11, 2024

Frightenily factual


Jun 10, 2024

This was my first visit and it was a good experience. I liked her and have hope she will stay


Jun 08, 2024

Very good


Jun 07, 2024

Extremely easy to communicate with provider. Exceptionally thorough and exudes confidence


Jun 06, 2024

I specifically wanted some treatment options other than pharmaceutical, but that was the only option offered!


Jun 06, 2024

Waiting for response to referral to neurosurgeon since early March


Jun 06, 2024

An experienced and attentive staff and physician, and thoughtful treatment. Keep up the good work!


Jun 06, 2024

Dr Baird is kind, compassionate, and smart. She listens carefully and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. I feel respected and cared for by her and her team.


Jun 06, 2024

The worst part is securing an appt. Now rather than waiting on hold forever on the phone or leaving a vm and having no one call back I just go to office in person to make appt,


Jun 06, 2024

Good


Jun 04, 2024

It was just a good experience, having to see Dr. Germaine; She had just replaced my last doctor, who retired (Dr. Taher).Although having a new doctor can be troubling, especially with my visit being a follow up to an emergency room visit for a seperated shoulder. But...I was surprised at how pleasant the whole situation was, especiallly with a new doctor. I'm still smiling from the doctor visit with Dr. Germaine.I liked her like I have been seeing her for years, but this was the first time I saw her. Thanks, Dr. Germaine!


Jun 03, 2024

Good providers and staff, horrible time getting scheduled and wait on phone.


May 25, 2024

Everyone at Dr. Youseffian's office is absolutely wonderful, respectful and empathetic as well as accommodating with my large wheelchair and extreme pain/bad symptoms. They are always kind and are my favorite medical office out of all of my medical providers because they genuinely care and respond rapidly on MyChart or over the phone with any help we need. I am extremely sad to see Dr. Youseffian leave but I know I'm in great hands with whoever will be taking over my care. This is an exceptionally well run office with amazing people, literally every single person from the front desk to the MA & doctor.


May 24, 2024

All very good.


May 23, 2024

Excellent provider, the best I have seen in a long time. Wish more doctors were like her, in every way.


May 23, 2024

Every 12 weeks I have injections for muscle spasms. I was not able to schedule my next appointment because the "schedule was not open yet." This is very inconvenient as now I will have to call in for an appointment that I usually make while I am there. Also, with working nights, my schedule doesn't align well with normal working hours making it harder to call in for an appointment while the clinic is open.


May 23, 2024

It was very good visit.


May 17, 2024

I'm not Happy, or understand why I was not able the schedule my next appointment with My Dr. In few months? It doesn't seem right I was not able to now. During my visit.


May 13, 2024

Dr. Leena was extremely kind and attentive to me and my health concerns. I was very impressed with her kindness, knowledge, and how she interacted with me and my wife.


May 09, 2024

This was my first appointment with Dr Germaine. . She was well informed about my medical history and had clearly gone over my records. She was efficient and friendly. I am happy to have her as my new neurologist. I have been seen in this practice for 30 years and the staff have always been helpful. The phone system is not as good. Delays in speaking to someone is typical. The call back system does not seem to work well.


May 09, 2024

Very kind, thoughtful, and helpful doctor


Apr 06, 2024

No solution presented. took far too long to get to neurologist, about 1.5 years


Apr 03, 2024

Good experience. New to this person. She was generally at ease, and I was too.


Mar 30, 2024

The doctor and her nurse are outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Youssefian. I didn't answer some questions because they were not applicable.


Mar 22, 2024

Hard to get an appointment as it took way to long for referral to be entered


Mar 20, 2024

Very thorough. Excellent follow up. Well informed.


Mar 20, 2024

Excellent doctor. Very concerned about my issues.


Mar 16, 2024

Dr. Baird was absolutely fantastic, was very knowledgeable and took the time to really personalize my care to my needs.


Mar 16, 2024

I've been a patient of this office for over a year; each and every visit was met with kindness, positive energy, and solutions. I've never had one negative experience. I highly highly recommend this office!


Mar 15, 2024

Very helpful and clearly communicated!


Mar 14, 2024

It was a great experience on the day of the visit. My experience in getting the appointment was challenging - it took multiple phone calls over multiple months to be allowed to schedule the appointment. I understand that access is a problem and perhaps my situation wasn't deemed "high priority" by whoever decides that, but it was very off putting as a new patient to the specialty. That being said Dr. Germaine Is truly a gift and I so appreciate her time and expertise in trying to help me with my situation.


Mar 13, 2024

Dr. Germaine treated me as a total person, not just as a reflection of my symptoms.


Mar 08, 2024

The visit was very pleasant


Mar 08, 2024

I really liked this new Dr., she was very nice, easy to talk to and understand.


Mar 06, 2024

Dr friendly and engaging.


Mar 06, 2024

During my visit, Dr. Youssefian was friendly, professional, and listened to my concerns. I felt she really cared about me and my health.


Mar 06, 2024

Wonderful doctor; staff very helpful


Mar 04, 2024

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Youssefian and staff. Dr. Youssefian was so nice and I felt like I was talking to a good friend. She was very informative and relaxed.


Feb 29, 2024

Good communication. Explained aspects of care.


Feb 27, 2024

If she ever leaves the practice, I would want to follow her. She respects you she listens to your questions she answers your questions she stays on point. One of the needles had a burr on it. I didn't complain, but she didn't like the way that it went in so she changed the needle. She is just the best so considerate And compassionate


Feb 24, 2024

Very good


Feb 24, 2024

She's excellent at her specialty (neurologist), I've rare disease, complicated, not fixable, but she's stellar and kind as brilliantly smart I left feeling hopeful to cope better, smile more, and I ALWAYS learn something from her :)


Feb 21, 2024

Dr. Youseffian seems very knowledgeable and was possibly just tried with it being the end of the day or just wasn't having the best day. Although she took time to conduct her assessment on me, I felt like my concerns were somewhat swept to the side. Her explanation was brief and I didn't feel comfortable asking questions. She suggested that I wear different shoes and just a wrist splint for nighttime, even though my symptoms have been going on for almost two years and I've noticed challenge getting words out. She also made a comment telling me to "keep up the good work", since I also work in healthcare. The interaction felt awkward and somewhat patronizing. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but didn't feel like she was validating of my concerns and just sent me away.


Feb 18, 2024

This provider is a specialist, and it took 3 months to get an appointment. I called several times. I finally got this appointment because of a cancellation. I think I was called, because, I had been calling to make sure I can get an appointment, and was fresh on people's minds.


Feb 15, 2024

She listens to our concerns and gives good advice


Feb 14, 2024

She is very personable!! Soft spoken and through. She includes my two daughters at every visit.


Feb 10, 2024

Excellent


Feb 10, 2024

Took 6-7 months to get an appointment with this provider


Feb 08, 2024

I am very impressed with Dr Yessefian's knowledge patience and kindness.


Feb 07, 2024

The bad: I was told by scheduler I couldn't have a follow up appt for 3 months after my original appt. I asked the doctor why that was, as blood test results were available within 2 weeks of original appt. She said it was to allow time for nerve conduction testing, and asked if anyone had called to schedule it. They had not. We scheduled it at this visit for about 8 weeks out. But otherwise, this visit was kind of a waste of time.


Feb 03, 2024

Clinic seemed to be running behind schedule but special efforts were made to catch up.


Jan 30, 2024

Extremely helpful to have notes of appointment outlined and prepared to take with me.


Jan 30, 2024

Some of your ? Need an n/a category. I saw a specialist on advice of physician.


Jan 28, 2024

DR. BAIRD IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY EMPATHETIC...EXCELLENT DOCTOR.


Jan 27, 2024

After onset of double vision in Oct. I thought it would be appropriate to see a neurologist. Even though the PCP referred me my case had to go thru a review board. How come it takes 3 months before you get a Dr, ?


Jan 26, 2024

I was SO impressed by Dr. Germain's preparation for my appointment. She knew my past hx so well. She was respectful- listening to my concerns. I have never felt my medical concerns were ever acknowledged and addressed as fully as she did. I felt heard and appreciated she worked to come up with a plan for treatment including me in the process. She won my total trust


Jan 24, 2024

Thorough, caring, empathetic, thoughtful. Questions answered in a very understandable way. Careful listener. Great interaction.


Jan 24, 2024

This was my first visit. The doctor and her assistant were friendly and attentive. Great team so far.


Jan 20, 2024

Dr. Y-H was very late but made up for it with being simultaneously efficient with my injections and friendly. Overall I really like her and feel like she listens to my needs.


Jan 15, 2024

Dr. Baird was very responsive to my health concerns. She explained everything she was going to do and we discussed I and she responded to my input. She told me what aftereffects I might have.


Jan 13, 2024

Everyone was friendly and helpful.


Jan 11, 2024

Dr. Baird went above and beyond in listening carefully to concerns, took a great deal of time conducting MOCA exam, carefully explained the results and offered additional resources beyond her office to address these concerns. Excellent and caring physician.


Jan 10, 2024

Provider unusually skilled and attemtivr


Jan 09, 2024

The physician was friendly however I felt like she really didn't hear me. I understand she needs the results from tests in order to draw some conclusions however there could have been some discussion regarding my ailments without blaming my symptoms on medications I've been taking for a decade and at higher doses.


Jan 06, 2024

Doctor is very caring and patiently listen to my medical history. She take her time to explain things and I like her very much


Jan 05, 2024

Difficult to reach your office by phone. One time I used the doctor's line to get through when I made a medication error that worried me


Jan 04, 2024

I researched neurologists at length and determined Dr. Baird would be the best for my needs. She met and exceeded my expectations. Attentive. Uses plain language, not medical jargon. So glad I was able to get in with her.


Jan 03, 2024

Dr. Baird is an excellent Doctor and is very helpful with my PSP. Great knowledge


Dec 27, 2023

The staff are so nice very accommodating even the provider she explained well the procedures during the visit


Dec 22, 2023

This was the first time I saw this doctor, as my previous doctor in this field of medicine had retired. She was friendly, interested, thorough and an absolute pleasure to be with. She was insightful, coming up with new possibilities for treatment. I am grateful to have her as my doctor.


Dec 16, 2023

On both of my visits, my experience with Dr Youssefian and her staff have been very positive. The sessions never felt rushed. She listened carefully to my questions and concerns. She answered all questions and explained her diagnosis and treatment plan in terms that I could easily understand.


Dec 15, 2023

Very comfortable treatm ny


Dec 15, 2023

The Dr was very knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring thank you!


Dec 14, 2023

Actually the most reasonable, kind and helpful neurologist I've seen.


Dec 13, 2023

The medical assistant as well as the doctor was friendly, nice to work with, understood and listened, and amicable. I certainly enjoyed my visit with them. Both were a pleasure to work with. Best experience with any past doctors yet. Thank you!


Dec 13, 2023

She was very thorough. She was kind and warm.


Dec 12, 2023

Dr Germaine is willing to go outside to her network to find other experts on interaction between cancer and MS medicatiins


Dec 11, 2023

This was my first time seeing her, as my prior provider took a different role in the clinic. She was great to work with and I feel hopeful that she can help me manage my condition.Side note: I was not notified by your clinic that my prior provider took a different role. I only found out when I called to schedule an appointment. This was a lack of communication from the office.


Dec 10, 2023

This provider is the best neurologist I could ask for, especially being a patient with OHP insurance. She is the most competent, patient, understanding and helpful neurologist I've seen in 8 years. She & all of her staff do an outstanding job even though I have a lot of trouble with my insurance & primary care doctor. They always help me & my caregiver with anything we need right away. No delays or not being able to get in contact with them. The office visits are once every 3 months for Botox injections to treat migraines but they make time for any other questions I have during the visit as well. I'm always treated with respect & feel listened to which is sorely lacking in most other medical offices & with other medical staff elsewhere. I appreciate them all very, very much. They're outstanding!


Dec 08, 2023

Dr. Baird is fantastic. I am a new patient for her and would highly recommend her,


Dec 08, 2023

Positive experience with overall care. Long wait list to see doctor for new patient visit (several months out after referral.) Doctor was helpful, and assisted at addressing needs in regards to condition and symptoms.


Dec 08, 2023

Very Good


Dec 05, 2023

Wonderful physician. The best!


Dec 04, 2023

I went in to the appointment with a little anxietyI left the appointment very satisfied with the information and suggestions I receivedDr Yousefian is thorough and easy to talk toShe listens, which might seem obvious but not all doctors listen carefullyI will definitely refer other people to her


Dec 02, 2023

Was treated with respect.


Dec 02, 2023

Very happy with Dr Baird


Dec 01, 2023

No additional comments.


Dec 01, 2023

Receptionist did not remind me to take a parking receipt. Didn't receive doctor's notes before leaving nor get instructions on how to obtain them online.


Nov 30, 2023

She listened to me...despite being in high demand.


Nov 30, 2023

I have always have good experience with my provider. I like her very much. She listens to what I have to say.


Nov 27, 2023

This visit went smooth with NO problems at all. It was AWESOME to see Dr. Germaine. Finally, I got to see a doctor that knows more about my health problems then I do. Dr. Germaine knows her practice well, and shows that she wants to provide the absolute best care for me.


Nov 23, 2023

This Dr. And staff are AWESOME
