    Dr. Katyal and Dr. Akemokwe were excellent in performing my tests. I could understand their procedural discussions and they were very careful and gentle with the needles during.the test.

      Dr Katyal was very thorough in explaining his findings. He did not tell me what we were going to do, he informed me he would like to do more tests and gave me the option to say no. He made me feel very much a part of my treatment decisions.

      This evaluation was for Dr. Katyal. The technicians were great- no concerns there. Dr. Katyal was very rigid/ unemotional/ not willing to connect. Asked me for a hx, provided it to him, asked occasional questions, but showed no concern or empathy. There were no explanations about my problem or condition. He indicated that he would look at the results and send information to my GP. No proposed treatments provided. During the procedure (needle electromyography), I tried to engage in conversation to help keep my mind off the needle he was pulsing deeper in my arm and he gave very short, one worded answers.

      Dr. Katyal was very through in his examination. We talked of tests he did or others had done for my care. His resident asst. was very good too. Well pleased with visit. He took some time w/me.

      My appointment was diagnostic. My doctor did ask me to use an elbow splint while sleeping. Further treatment discussions will follow testing results. I trust entirely that I'll be involved in the decisions about my continued care.

      Dr Katyal communicates care as he conducts exams and is the clearest communicator. I recommend him unconditionally.
