Dr. Christopher Gomez, MD

Dr Gomez is detail oriented, concerned abt you as a patient AND as a person, makes great practical suggestions to address living with ataxia. Patients of Dr Gomez or any other internationally known scientist/ researcher/clinical MD must accept that it may take some time to initially get on his schedule (because he is a clinical physician 1-2 days/wk-on other days he is doing a myriad of other duties & responsibilities.) Patients must recognize that is it is these other duties that, along with his clinical practice, that make Dr Gomez one of the top neurologists and ataxia specialist in the US/world. When you become a patient, you will have access to Dr Gomez with regular appts & emails/calls in between. Patients may wait beyond an appointment time to see Dr Gomez because he doesn’t rush his appts or patients; he is thorough. He won’t rush your appt either. Being diagnosed is devastating/requires time & explanations for questions/issue by patient. Been Dr Gomez patient since 2005.

Dr Gomez has been extremely attentive and responsive to me. He answers my email inquiries in a very short time. He came highly recommended, and I concur.

I’m beyond disgusted with Dr.Gomez.He wanted me to do more extensive genetic testing and NEVER followed up with me. I left multiple messages on mychart and multiple phone messages. I won’t return to see him again.Plus he totally blew me off when I mentioned it to him Thursday at The National Ataxia Foundation Conference in Vegas.
