Kaiser neurologists in the Washington DC area
Sat, 08/14/2010 - 15:03So here are the neurologists listed in my area for Kaiser (which sad to say, is my insurance plan for now).
Has anyone heard of any of these and/or have good or bad experiences? I need to pick a new one. The first one I saw (Dr. Daniel Glor) was a dud.

I had a brief experience with Dr. Lipps when I wound up in a local ER. I was pleased with him and like where he got his training. Only real downside is a 1 hour commute to his office from work (since I don't have a license). I am lucky to be near public transportation so it is doable without depending on family/friends... just pretty inconvenient. Any experience with him or others? Thanks for ANY input.
