Very impressed with Dr Dorfman and visit outcome

I had previously been misdiagnosed with Parkinson's by a neurologist, which Dr. Dorfman realized immediately. He diagnosed my problem as an essential tremor, and prescribed medication which eliminated the tremor within 12 hours. I'd say that's beyond "very good." He also gives the patient all the time necessary; he listens carefully and I never feel rushed.

Dr. Dorfman was exceptionally professional, attentive and articulate. Prior to our meeting, I had nagging questions about my health that had gone on unanswered for a long time. It's as if he read my mind & patiently took the time to address all of my concerns. Do yourself a favor, call Dr. Dorfman office!
