Solomon Martin D PA

Neurologist # 1. From now on will be referred to as «TheBrickWall.» Because he had the personality and bedside manner of a pale gray brick wall.
This was the first neurologist who I consulted with after moving to DFW. He had me on Nadolol for migraines which did nothing to help me whatsoever. I asked to have a MRI done numerous times over a 3 month period, but he refused until my Chiropractor wrote him a letter demanding it.
The 1^st MRI report came back with a 8 mm cerebellar tonsil herniation consistent with Arnold Chiari Malformation I and said a 2^nd MRI should be done of my C and T Spines to rule out the existence of a syrinx (Syringomyelia). Luckily, those were negative.
TheBrickWall was 30 minutes late to my appoinment and when we finally got back to his office he showed me the films from the first MRI and pointed to where my brain had literally fallen out of my skull and said. «See that part of your brain, it’s not supposed to be there. Deal with it, there is nothing that can be done»
(There had been a week between 1^st MRI report and this appointment so I had already spent days researching the condition online).
He proceeded to pull every disease/​condition known to man out of his southern-​most orifice to explain my symptoms as something OTHER than Chiari.
My migraines are «hormones», the normal-​every-​day headaches are «too much OTC-​medicine withdrawal», the numbness in my arms and hands is «carpal tunnel», the eye-​twitches and the ringing in my ears and hearing loss is «too much aspirin», the stiff neck is from, of all things, «stress».
We left this appointment to go to another appointment with my Chiropractor who had all of her reference books out and ready. She spent over an hour with us explaining my new condition to me… and how, she could no longer treat me.
Martin Solomon… the first of many doctors who knew nothing and yet attempted to make me feel stupid by making up other conditions to cover his ass.
Stay away from this neurologist… you will leave wanting to bang your head against a brick wall.
