“For some reason I thought I had an appointment with Neurologist Dr. Patel. His qualifications were impressive on the website. When I arrived I was told that Dr. Patel was in New York not in Boca Raton. I was told that I would see Sharit Sigalit. I asked if she was a neurologist and was told yes. I explained to Dr. Sigalit that my right hand occasionally shakes involuntarily. I was given nerve tests and a cap on my head test. I was then told I had to get a Brain DaTscan never being told what the current tests I took revealed or what the Brain DaTscan was for. When I came home I looked up Dr. Shavit was not a neurologist but a nurse. I check with Rayus who was recommended to do the Brain DaTscan and was told it involved at least 40 minutes flat on my back. I explained that if I am in that position it is extremely painful for me and I could not stay still as required so I do not want to take it unless I can be in a sitting position. The representative said that was the only way I could do it. Since I have done research and learned the result would not be certain. So I will not take the test.
I have an appointment with the nurse for April 13th at 1:30 pm which now I wish to cancel. I also request that the results of the tests done be sent to me..
