| 5.0 | Apr 1, 2025 | Dr. Tovar has been very open and supportive regarding my idiopathic case. He was clear almost a year ago, his specialty was setting up the epilepcy practice, but was taking general neurology cases. As testing progressed, he recognized my symptoms were autoimmune in nature or possibly an abnormal immune response due to a yet unknown cause. I collected more detailed heart measurements, rated symptoms, tracked patterns of changes including medication and that there was likely systemic inflammatory activity causing interplay between cardiovascular and neurological conditions. He showed genuine concern over the progression of symptoms and we both agreed that I needed to be referred to advanced neurology specialists that could handle neuromuscular, neuro-opthalmology, and neuroimmunology conditions. He continues to offer support while waiting long lead times to establish new patient care. Dr. Tovar looked at me holistically rather than treating symptoms. He understood that I might need a research-assisted healthcare specialist for immunological care and will provide a referral when that institution is identified. | |

He did not insist that I take any medication at this time. | |

| 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! | |
