I always feel like Dr. Figueroa sincerely cares. He is also thorough.
Dr. Figueroa is the best. He's managed my Mg very well!
I always enjoy seeing Dr. Figueroa. I recently gained a significant amount of weight due to a medicine another provider prescribed. Dr. Figueroa didn't bring up my weight at all and listened to my concerns, whereas other providers would have just blamed my weight. He's also a fabulous doctor and very personable. I drive over an hour to see him and I'm happy to do so so that I can see him. He's helped a lot over the years I've seen him.
Dr Figueroa has a wonderful personality and allows me to explain thoroughly as does he. It's worth the drive!
I think that Dr. Figueroa is great, very kind, and knowledgeable. I do have one suggestion. My previous neurologist went through a checklist every time we met, to make sure we covered any issues across the different areas of my life affected by my disease. This structure of the appointment did not add much time but was very helpful to me as a patient. I try to be prepared for an appointment, but that prompting and structure helped me remember issues that I may miss when on the spot. It helped give her an overall picture of my health, and I felt it was more helpful to me as a patient. This may be something incorporated into appointments, especially with patients who have complex issues.
The neurology office staff were all very professional, introducing themselves, explaining what they were going to do and why. I would definitely go back to them and recommend them all, especially the doctor. Loved meeting the resident, too!
It may just be me, but Doctor Figueroa's picture on the website makes him look stern and unapproachable. My experience with him in person was just the opposite. He was very kind and caring. I found him to be warm and personable. Maybe he needs a different picture for the hospital website, one where he is smiling. :-)
Doctor was very professional and very thorough. I never had a better examination. My husband and I were very impressed. Great Doctor!!
Dr. Figueroa was great. Thank you so much.
I am most fortunate to have Dr. Figueroa as my Neurologist and hope he Is here rest of my life!
Dr. Figueroa WAS EXCEPTIONAL in diagnosis and explanation of my neuropathy. He was EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL and respectful of my need for information. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. FIGUEORA!
Dr.Figueroa is the best doctor. He's such a smart man, and as equally compassionate!
Dr. FIGUERORA and his staff were all kind and caring. Each went beyond expectations.
Dr. Figueroa spent additional time necessary to deal with my issues. I learned a great deal today.
I saw Dr Figueroa recently for some autonomic issues. I highly recommend him! He was extremeley knowledgable, empathetic, caring and kind. We came up with a plan for the future and It has given me hope! Thank you Dr. Figueroa!!
I always appreciate the extra time the doctor spends with me. He takes the time to explain in detail any changes I should make or reasoning behind them. He is forthcoming on new research and his findings of it. He also is comprehensive on when to engage other specialties since I have so many other issues that are not just autonomic. And from an autonomic perspective explain the whys or how things are related or when they are not (which sometimes has been a challenge with other specialists not understanding POTS).
Dr. Figueroa was great. The experience could not have been better. He was up to date one my case, listened to concerns, provided excellent info and advise, and did a through job of examination. Excellent.
The provide we saw was great! As well as his nurse. He listened to my needs and gave me a plan of action. Very pleased with his kindness and care for patients.
Great provider
