Neuroscience Consultants, PLC

LIFE SAVER! Dr. Cintron is a compassionate kind human being whose knowledge is shared with patients in a caring way. The time he took to explain the changes I’m experiencing after the accident and his assurance along with his expertise at prescribing medications for my specific situation was truly supportive. He even made appointment for a Saturday! To test the nerve damage in my right leg and found I had regeneration of the signal! YAY! Fantastic Doctor!

We have had wonderful work and care from Dr. Cintron. He is very knowledgeable with the trigeminal neuralgia. He always follows thru and we have been go here for over 7 years.

Dr. Ospina is the worst doctor I have ever encountered in any practice. He is not a surgeon thank god. I have had 4 back surgeries so I have been through many appointments. Saw Dr. Ospina twice and just prescribed extremely expensive medicine. I needed him to do a peer review with my insurance for another MRI and he had someone in his office do it that did not meet me. They did not tell them about my past surgeries or anything. By this time I could barely walk and went back in. I let him know that the insurance suggested the he do the peer review and include my medical history and symptoms. He suggested I just pay for the MRI out of pocket. I could not believe what he was telling me. Less than a day later i was on the floor and could not move because of the pain. Was rushed to the ER and had to have an spinal fusion. The delay and uncaring attitude that he had has left me chronic nerve damage in my left leg. Horrible man, whenever I think of him and the pain I was forced to endure because of this man I get so mad.

Dr Richard Ospina is THE VERY BEST neurologist I have EVER seen, and I’ve seen quite a few!
Unlike most Drs, he has an outstanding bedside manner! I was shocked the first time I went there bc you never go to an exam room first; you go to his office and TALK and he looks and you in the EYES and WANTS TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!!! After you’ve thoroughly discussed your problems, symptoms, concerns, etc., then you go to an exam room and he gives you exam w/​testing that is specific you.
But, that to me is secondary — his immense knowledge is highly impressive!!! I had a slight tinge of color on my tongue, which made him ask about my ancestry — he was spot on as to where and when my ancestors came to America!!! Who in Earth could do that??? This led him to test for a very, very rare condition!
No other dr had ever asked the questions he did, was as thorough as he is, not have their email address on their website so that you can reach him when you need to!!!
If you have any problems: memory, tingling, shaking, pain, spine, forgetfulness, nerve disorders, THIS IS YOUR DOCTOR!!!

Currently here. Have been waiting for a full hour for Dr. Peters. He rescheduled my first initial appointment despite being a new patient and is now an hour late to my second appointment. Will not be retuning here again.

Dr. Ruben Cintron is worth my drive from Frederick, MD to Reston, VA. He is caring and has a excellent «bedside» manner. He actually came into work on a Saturday at 7am just to fit me in so I didn’t have to wait for 2 months for his next opening. He is wonderful, and I highly recommend him.

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Watkins, and I don’t have any complaints with him. However, the office staff is horrible and trying to get a «human» on the phone is almost impossible. The office staff seems pretty young and they do not dress very professionally or act in a professional manner. When I asked about a prescription refill while in the office, they acted like I was a bother and wanted to me to go home and call. The front desk lady did not smile once or seem concerned about helping me at all. If it wasn’t so difficult to make an appointment with a pediatric neurologist, I would find another practice. Of course, the office manager contact is not listed on the website either.

My wife did not have a good experience with this practice. She felt like the doctor she saw didn’t believe her symptoms and only prescribed stuff to placate her. The experience with billing was unnerving as well. The first bill we got afterwards (took about 50 days before they sent us anything), had a bright orange sticker on it warning that our account would be turned over to a collection agency if we didn’t respond in 10 days. Note this was the very first correspondence either by phone or mail that we got from them. Hopefully everyone else will have a better experience with this practice but we do not plan on going back.

Dr. Jon Peters was recommended by my primary care doc and what a mistake it was to take that recommendation without checking healthgrades, vitals, and other ranking websites. The first appointment was disappointing… I had prepared a succinct one page summary of my neuropathy, history, symptoms, etc,… all in hopes of diagnosing the cause of the pain. He dismissed the write up and proceeded with his exam, pronouncing a likely diagnosis and required testing. Though I was disappointed he didn’t take the time to review my document with me (and thus would miss stuff), I just mistakenly believed he knew best… that I should just hush and listen to the guy in the white jacket.
The second appointment was incredibly frustrating. I waited 30 minutes beyond my appointment time before asking the front desk how much longer it might be. The receptionist was totally indifferent to the delay, saying I could reschedule if I wanted but he’d get to me as he could.
After 30 more minutes — and HOUR of waiting — Dr. Peters finally came out. He said absolutely nothing about the delay. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I protested, saying common courtesy and professionalism would dictate an apology and explanation. He explained that the previous patient had a critical need and thus more time. While that may have been true, the very least he could have done — and other, more professional practices indeed do do – is tell waiting patients that the delay will be X minutes or hours, offering to reschedule, and apologizing profusely.
No thanks, Dr. Peters… I can find excellent neurologists elsewhere in the northern Virginia /​MD /​DC area.

Dr. Cintron is an excellent doctor, very hard working and conscientious with a kind demeanor.
