| 5.0 | Dec 31, 2024 | Dr Diego Tovar Quirones has been very supportive of my complex case and considered interplay between sudden symptoms leading to chronic heart, kidney, and neurological diseases. He ran tests that suggested systemic inflammation and potential for abnormal immune response or autoimmune disease. He reviewed detailed logs of blood pressure and pulse data, changes In various blood markers, medication changes, and ratings of neurological symptoms. He saw that waning heart rate on multiple anti-hypertension drugs amplified neuropathy and to discuss potential Inflammation causing bradycardia. His holistic view of my symptoms helped bring stability while getting through radical prostatectomy and enabling him to run neuroimmunology tests to determine cause of the systemic inflammation. Given that more advanced neuroimmunology tests are required, Dr Quirones documented my case for referral to UT Health Neuroimmunology and Eye Center practices. Given the case review acceptance and lead time to establish care wit UT specialists, Dr Quirones said he was scheduling a 3 month followup to ensure I am not experiencing progression before being examined by UT Health. Dr. Quirones is helping to build the BS&W Epilepsy Center, but also took on general neurology case load. Now that his practice is growing, Dr Quirones is my only specialist that was looking out for my neurological issues from a holistic perspective, that helped me to gain better control of my heart medication. He is an excellent and thorough physician! | |
