Shriver, Mary Ellen, Do - Neurologic Care Ctr

OMGS.This was the worst clinician (not Doctor) that I have ever been to. W/O having any of my prior medical records in front of her; & only after asking me 3 questions, she basically told me that the headachs that I was getting (the make me so sick I have to be in bed for days) is due to me being a women & having my menstrual cycle.She drew me a pitcure of my brain & said that due to my young age 37)that the issues that I was having were mental. She stated that there is no way that anything else could be wrong with me cause I was so young. She advised me that I was depressed and needed to see a psychiatrist. She also advised me that the medication that I was taking that had been pescribed by my neurolosgist & had been helping me(for the last year)was a waste of a pill, &that I should stop taking it. Mind you I only went to see her cause my insurase changed due to my lost of work and I could not afford see see my regurlar Got appt w/old Dr old dr.Will pay out of pocket wil not see her. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything more

Dr. Shriver was very professional and courteous. The whole office staff was great. I have been looking for a doctor since we moved moved from NC and she was it!! I highly recommend her. Pros: I can't say enough. Both my kids are special needs, and I trust her completly. more

Didn't have much confidence in her skills. Didn't listen, in a rush; didn't take the time to diagnose properly Cons: All more

Excellent doctor, but was not impressed by the St. Pete office at all. Dr. Shriver asked many questions, completed a thorough exam, gave a detailed explanation and drew a picture to make sure I understood. Pros: answers questions, took time with patients, great explanations Cons: needs nicer office in st pete more
