Hartford Healthcare has amazing movement disorder specialist neurologists. One of them is Dr. Leon Meytin. Was seen by him for an emergency appointment scheduled with little notice . Amazing physician. Very knowledgeable, super patient with all questions my wife & I had, imparted much wealth of knowledge to us. Giving me and us hope that I will get better! Managing parkinson long term can be very challenging as meds tend to need adjusting. He is not a doctor to just throw more meds on you, sees value in adjusting dosages, lower, even ceasing certain med(s) if side effects outweigh and effect quality of life. It's a balancing act and this physician is well-versed in that. God bless Dr. Meytin, what a good good doctor, one of the best out there:)

Dr. Meytin was incredibly understanding and compassionate. My GP had brushed aside my issues and Dr. Meytin both validated my concerned and assured me that it was manageable. He was thorough with his questions and didnt make me feel like I was being rushed for the next appointment. I was also able to get in RIGHT away. His front desk staff was also very kind and my nurse was friendly and patient, making the overall experience great. Very appreciative of the consideration and would highly recommend this office

After having several symptoms for almost 2 years and going to numerous doctors where every single one would tell me I'm ok and I knew I wasn't okay because my health was deteriorating, I asked my PCP to go to another neurologist because the first one could not find anything wrong with me and when she referred me to Dr Meytin I will never forget that on my first visit, after Dr Meytin checked me he told me I already know what is the diagnosis but I have to send you to get a CT brain scan to confirm, sure enough after receiving the results it was the diagnosis that he mentioned on our first visit to his office. He's a great doctor he's very compassionate, kind and always available for my needs. I send him a note and he answers quickly. I am very thankful for him and recommend him any day.
