Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Found my miracle.finally!!!!!!.a neurologist who c
His attention to detail. Actually listening. Actually cares. Performing a real physical exam and making a real diagnosis. He made a half dozen other doctors in Western New York look like they didn't have any training at all. I was a patient at the large multi-million dollar neurological centers and I could not get these people to listen to me at all and they were unwilling to make a diagnosis . They would give me what I would consider a fake diagnosis that was just Band-Aids over the real problem. Over a 10-year period I could not get anybody to make a diagnosis on my neck. He was my lifesaver.my miracle.. During just basic physical examinations he pointed out that I was obviously having issues and then ordered MRIs and proved that I was having issues. He has renewed my faith in doctors. He has an excellent staff. Now I get the care that I should have been getting over the last 10 years. A real doctor would ethics. finally. Finally

I would highly recommend him. Explained everything in a way you could understand. Answered your questions without feeling you were being rushed. Stop medication that didn’t need to take. Great sense of humor which made you feel relaxed.

Horrible
Called his office to obtain a new script for a medication change he wanted, he continued to yell at me and say, “you are wasting my time with this stupid stuff”. Very unprofessional and rude

If you had negative stars you would get 5.
My 17 year old daughter had a seizure at school this week. We had an appointment scheduled with the Silver Creek office today at 2:30 PM. She had to wake up at 3 am and fast for EEG prep, miss school and my ex wife missed work. We got a call 2 hours before the appointment saying they are over-booked and we have to wait until 10/25 for the next appointment. The worst part is they were rude and uncaring on the phone. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS OFFICE!

They really need to figure out how to staff their office. Doctor LeeKwen is great. Dad has been seeing him for years. The office staff is incompetent and uncaring. In severe pain and there isn't even a nurse for him to talk to! The people on the phone continue to say "can't fit you in" in a huffy tone. Extremely condescending. Also have called the wrong patients about the wrong conditions! I really wish someone could do something for patients in pain.

I have suffered from MIGRAINE for forty years. After numerous doctors and various therapies, I discovered Dr Lee-Kwen of Southtowns Neurology. Finally I found an amazing physician who was so compassionate and patient! We developed an ever evolving therapy that controls chronic pain and allows me to live my life. Thank God for Dr Lee-Kwen!

The doctor and staff are all very professional. You do not feel rushed when asking questions. They are always very willing o explain things in a way that pertains to your health needs. He is not a doctor that will hand out drugs like candy. He will give you what he thinks will work. Doctor shopping will not work with him. The staff is very nice and helpful I would highly recommend him to family and friends .
