Dr. Dempster was easy to talk to & gave us information that was current to our handicapped son's condition. We appreciated that Dr. Dempster was well prepared & had read all the information about our son. Thank you!!!

Dr. Dempster's bedside manner was greatly improved! It was nice. I don't appreciate the questions on this about gender identity or race sensitivity.

Dr. Dempster is incredibly rude and unprofessional the way he speaks to patients is unbelievable. He did not show me any respect or compassion. He raised his voice at me and told me I need to be tested for autism because I wasn't looking him in the eyes for the entire appointment. I would never recommend him if anything I would tell people steer clear. I will NOT see him again. Two times is 2 too many.

I feel as though Dr. Dempster brushes off my concerns and does not take my health conditions seriously. He has asked me more than once if I "really" have certain conditions, which causes me to have to re-explain my health history, rather than him keeping good notes.

Every time I go see Dr. Dempster he explains stuff with me so I understand my medical condition.

I was surprised at how quickly I was called after checking in. And even more pleased at how quickly and attentive staff was. Dr. Didn't make me wait very long at all, and didn't act as if he were in a hurry, even though I know he had several other patients.

All good

Dr Dempster is very clear and confident. I appreciate how straightforward he is. If he does not think testing is necessary he will let me know. He is very knowledgeable and kind. I think he has my best interest in mind.

The only complaint I have is when I received a call back from the scheduler. I almost hung-up because I thought it was a junk call. I did not recognize the number and the first words from the person were "how are you?". The second was "so when would you like to come in?" (Or something similar to that question.). The person may have assumed I had the phone number on my phone so I would know that it was from Legacy. But my phone did not recognize the number. The scheduler was very friendly but needs to be cognicent of professionalism.

I highly recommend Dr Dempster and the staff are very helpful.

Scheduling was way out for this appointment, which was impacted by lab work requirement.The Dr never discussed my lab results that's really frustrating, because they asked for them! This also was why my appointment was deferred, so if you're not going to use them then just meet with me he was friendly and thorough, so I didnt put down low scores, but this was one thing.It is really frustrating that I've been seeing neurologists from this office for 15+ years and now my EEG diagnosis has changed?? So, multiple neurologists from the same office have Interpreted the results incorrectly/differently for 20 years, since my initial diagnosis. This is not his failure, I appreciate his evaluation, but an entire office for 15+ years interpreting results differently is wild.The delays will now likely result in extra costs to my family due to deductible. This is unfortunate.
