    Dr Maas listened to my concerns and answered all questions. I never once felt rushed. He obviously is a very knowledgeable neurologist and seems to be a welcome addition to my care team.

    Dr Maas is an excellent doctor but you already know that or else he wouldn't be working where he is. Thanks for hiring and retaining him! I really appreciate Dr Maas.

    Poor doctor I was scheduled during his lunch. Also anything that may seem critical is because I'm new patient and we have no idea my condition . The doctor is taking proper steps. Please understand. Thank you
