Dr. Hoos is, bar none, the best migraine doc in Nashville. There are only two good migraine doctors in this town...Hoos and Brandeis (sp?). Your internist may recommend Jan Brandeis or you may read about her, whatever...but forget it. She doesn't return phone calls, her office staff is snobby, and you'll get at most 3 1/2 minutes of her time. She's ""the"" migraine doctor in N'ville only because she publishes tons of papers on the topic and goes to all the conferences and speaks. Big deal. Dr. Hoos actually treats patients for their migraines with care and respect and tries to help them get well...get their migraines under control...or better yet stopped. He listens, he talks to you, he doesn't act like he's in a hurry (in fact, you feel like he'd sit there 30 minutes if you needed him to) he makes you feel like you're his favorite and most important patient. If your neuro. issue is migraines, go see him for a consult, you won't be sorry. Unfortunately his (male) nurse at the moment is a not so hot and not gret about returning calls (can't think of his name) but, hey, everything can't be perfect.
Pros: caring; listens; low wait time; focused on your migraine problem
Cons: current (male) nurse as of July 2006
