Marcus Neuroscience Institute | Boca Raton - Boca Raton (FL)

1 /5 Alison Rubin: Stay away from MNI unless you have a private, out - of - pocket concierge doctor to manage your disease. There is no coordinated care here if your loved one experiences a medical emergency. Departments do not communicate and if your doctor is away, there is no one to treat you or return a call. Significant lack of experience with Parkinsons patients in the neuro ICU . Haldol was administered for agitation which is a dopamine blocker and worsens symptoms significantly in older patients. My father left the hospital worse than when he went into it.

2 /5 Boca Buddha: Ive been going to Boca Regional most of my life and have had great experiences there. The Marcus institute unfortunately is not run nearly as well. The doctors Ive seen seem inconsistent at best with their recommendations and tests....at one point I was told I needed to have a Brain MRI ( which I agreed was necessary), but since I have pacemaker it needs to be done in a special unit. When it was determined the one at the hospital would be out of commission for an extended period of time I asked for a referral to have it done at UniversityMRI. Suddenly I no longer needed the scan for some reason. The Dr. Constantly reschedules me for 3 month follow ups during which she looks at me we have. nice conversation and thats it, no help, no anything. Lastly, and probably the most annoying is the fact that I have to schedule appointments months in advance, only to have them call me to say Dr. X will be on call that day now or will be on vacation, then have to reschedule for another 3 months out...no apologies, nothing. After discussing this with other friends that felt similarly about Marcus Ive left and found a new Neurologist. Its a shame really, its a great facility. They simply need to become more professional, and higher better Doctors.

5 /5 Betty LaChaussee: Dr. Svetlana Faktorovich MD at Baptist Health Marcus Neuroscience Institute is an amazing doctor! After years of bouncing from doctor to doctor with no clear-cut answers, Dr. Faktorovich found out my problem. She is brilliant, communicates very well, and has a charming bedside manner. For the first time in years, Im on the right path for a better quality of life! The experience at Baptist Health was nothing short of remarkable. Starting at the front desk, the receptionist Amy Averbach did an exceptional job and even though we messed up our appointment day and time, she went above and beyond, spoke with the doctor, and got us in. We were met by the medical assistant Emmanuel Rivera. He took the time to explain what would occur during our visit and put us at ease, as well as later on performing a test. He also was charming and very kind! Minutes later, nurse practitioner Jamie Pare sat us down for a complete exam and took the time to find out our complete history with follow-up questions to get a better understanding of our past and present condition. She truly cared and was exceptional! Its NPs like her that work hand in hand with the doctor to offer you the most efficient and informed visit youll ever have. Thank you Baptist Health for putting together a great team!! And if all this isnt enough, we left to pick up our car where they offer free valet parking!

5 /5 Gayle Unterweiser: Dr. Dakwar is a kind, caring surgeon who never rushes you and explains all aspects of your up coming surgery. The post op care was so professional. Each staff member was thorough and caring

5 /5 AR Melton: This neuroscience institution 5-6 years ago as a new medical facility was exceptional. Fortunately or unfortunately , I had three major operations there. The facilities, neurosurgeons and support staff at all levels are also quite excellent. It did however decrease somewhat in efficiency since Baptist took over. Also, since Boca Regional is a teaching hospital for FAU and you must sign a form limiting FAU liability, I suggest that you refuse to have any staff, residents, medical students in the room where you have an operation.
