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.

Dr. Bird shows a variety of professional neurological knowledge in providing positive treatment for trigeminal neuralgia and occipital neuralgia. I am truly grateful for his help and support. I am having less chronic pain symptoms from my neurological disorders. I highly recommend him and differently my very pleased. He was the first neurologist to find what was causing my excruciating facial and serve neuralgia pain. I am one of many trigeminal and occipital neuralgia patients that needed help and finally after seeing 5 neurologist...found a great physician. I am totally pleased and thankful to Dr. Bird and his staff.

I will be switching to a new neurologist after my latest appointment with Dr. Bird. This is the second time he's started discussing his political views during an appointment with me. I normally wouldn't even respond but decided if he wanted to talk about it, he could listen to my views as well. It was like he couldn't hear a word I said...he got louder and louder and talked over me, eventually banging his fist on the table. I see him for his "expertise" in neurology, not to talk about mask and vaccine mandates.

Dr. Bird was professional, personable, and gave a thorough explanation of what he was doing and why. He also explained my test results very clearly. His office staff was friendly and courteous. Everyone there treated me well. I would recommend Dr. Bird without reservation and would definitely use his office again should the need ever arise.

I would NEVER recommend him Horrid man! Smart mouth, insensitive, does not communicate with families (of hospitalized, unconscious person), just the worst doctor I could ever imagine! Thankfully, I've never been to his office and never will, so I can't comment on the other questions.

At first I liked him because he seemed to understand chiaroscuro type 1 . But dismissive with my mild cerebral palsy getting in my face saying: but didn't you lead a normal life? No not really bc I couldn't walk right and had seizures throughout my life, etc on top of severe brain damage. And he is like well you have the other side of your brain don't you? Actually no I don't.
