Jan 24, 2020 - "I am the patient's wife, answering this question. We have never had a neurologist for my husband treat my husband as well as Dr. Ficker. He seems to understand the type of care my husband needs, not only in terms of treating his epilepsy, but also in treating the psychological implications and associated cognitive function problems. Dr. Ficker is EXTREMELY patient with my husband in speaking with him and listening to him. This type of care causes my husband to trust him and be more willing to follow treatment and medication guidelines, rather than defying medical orders and suggestions. Dr. Ficker knows exactly how to "reach" my husband in order to gain his trust and confidence. Dr. Ficker is exactly the epilepmologist my husband has needed for many years. Thank you so much, Dr. Ficker."
