I go to Dr. Stoody for epilepsy and, quite frankly, I can't stand the guy. I haven't had a seizure in years so thankfully I only see him every 6 months. He is rude, he is extremely condescending, and he treats patients with disdain, bordering on contempt. When I go see him every 6 months the first thing he'll ask is " So, any spells lately?" (spells are his term for seizures). Spells? (at least he doesn't call them 'fits"). He's often very late too. One morning I had the first appt. at 9:00 and he didn't show up until 9:45am. I understand that things come up but his staff was extremely rude--didn't apologize for his lateness--didn't even say a word in fact just left us sitting there wondering what the heck was going on. When I went up to the window to ask where he was they answered, with extreme rudeness, "he's still at the hospital!!" (Ok, fine. But why not tell us that instead of letting us all sit there wondering?). We I complained to him about the rudeness of his staff and his answer was "Well, have you ever had to work with the public?". The contempt with with he used the word "public" (to describe his patients no less), encapsulates this guys attitude towards his patients. Because of this contemptuous attitude don't bother trying to talk to this about any concerns because all you'll do is annoy him. I was having a serious side effect from a med he'd prescribed for my restless leg syndrome only to have him tell me that it was all in my head. I did some research on the internet and found that this was indeed a side effect that others taking this same med were suffering from--they were told to stop med immediately. I quit the medication and all my side effects went away. I didn't bother to tell him that after quitting the symptoms went away because it wouldn't have mattered, he still would have chalked it all up as "all in her head". I need to find another neuro but it's such a pain changing (need referral, etc). Stay away from this guy!

I previously wrote a rather negative review and I wish to take it all back. Dr. Stoody came through and wrote a letter on my behalf. I have recomended him to a friend.

I was sent to him on a referral after my GP said that there had been a lot of negative feed back, but that neuroligist in general were "different". Gee Thanks I actually only saw Dr Stoody 2'x during the 2nd visit he told me "There is nothing wrong with you, have a good life". When I questioned him about what I should do if I had similiar symptoms again (stroke syptoms according to ER) he said "Ignore them". Not very responsible in my uneducated opinon. My sis-in-law only saw him once,never went back. Neither of us knew the other had seen him till months later. Good Luck

Dr. Stoody was my neurologist from 2001-2003 (I believe). I have multiple sclerosis and Wilson's disease. Dr. Stoody refused to believe that I had WD and forced me to see a gastroenterologist. I never returned after he announced that, "Besides, you have primary progressive MS." I STILL HAVE REMISSION-REMITTING MS! The way that he said it made me so mad that I changed neurologists immediately. Don't see this guy!!
