      I am a new patient, who has just moved to the area. I have a chronic, necrological condition, which Is rare and often misunderstood. I was anxious about finding a new neurologist. This doctor took time with me and listened. He refilled the meds I have been taking without trying to impose any of his own pharmaceutical preferences. He also assisted me in finding a new primary care provider.

      Dr. Keszler is an engaging medical provider. He's an avid listener & wants to hear your thoughts about your condition in addition to what you've submitted on your paperwork. Dr. Keszler provided the most thorough neurological exam I've ever had & I've been given many. His clinical expertise injecting steroids into the nerve roots at the base of my skull were exceptional; very little pain. This is the first time I've met & been treated by Dr. Keszler. I highly recommend him for the services I received in dealing with chronic migraine pain.

      Dr. Peter Keszler is by far the most excellent physician I have encountered in my 50 years of life. He stayed focused on my primary concern so that it could finally be addressed instead of being sidelined as the past decade of physicians have. He performed the most thorough neurological exam I have had. Then said those beautiful words I had dreamed of hearing I will open the books and research your issue for you. No one has offered this for my issue and I am totally thankful.

      Dr. Keszler is a compassionate doctor who takes my issues and concerns seriously. He never discounts anything I have to say or questions I ask. He always checks for things that could be an issue or an underlying problem to ensure all possibilities are addressed. He goes far above any expectation I have and is flexible to work around what is easiest for me, even when it's a little tricky for Johns Hopkins. He always finds a way to make things work. (

      Dr Keszler is professional and seems well prepared in the area of neurology. That said it seems he does not need to integrate the total health experience in his care. By this I mean he doesn't ask about the patient's life experience with and beyond dealing with neurological issues. He is prompt in responding to medication requests and other support needs and I suppose this Is all that is required but it's nice when the doctor is more holistic in their approach.
