I had a really bad experience going to this clinic. Whenever you call their office, it's always someone who doesn't know how to work their schedule or doesn't know how to check if your labs results were sent over and will tell you that she will "have Raquel call you back." Whenever Raquel is out for the week, there isn't anyone else who can assist you. I would not recommend anyone to this clinic! Save yourself the stress of going to this clinic and find some other neurologist in town.

Best neurologist I’ve had yet
Nobody has ever made my concerns feel so heard. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Dr Osterbauer. He truly listens and makes me feel like a human rather than a statistic or a specimen. He goes above and beyond for me even coming in on days he’s schedule off or they’re scheduled closed. As a woman with catamenial epilepsy also he is so incredibly knowledgeable in woman’s hormones and treatments. I’d recommend him to anyone! Really awesome doctor.

Zero Stars!
His medical license suspended at least 3x -public info you can find - search his name and the word license. $975 to take my medical history and 1st visit exam. Seen on 15th (they knew I was out of medicine)and by the 27th I was still calling having to COACH the nurse how to problem solve to get my RX filled. On one of these calls the doctor interrupted and yelled into the phone DON’T BE MEAN TO MY NURSE. Newsflash - I wasn’t being mean. I was told “you’re not our only patient” at least 3x. They complained about the HOURS THEY WERE ON HOLD W MY PHARMACY TO ME! Highly irrational and unprofessional. They lack the intelligence to problem solve issues with the pharmacy and will take it out on the patient. They are so rude that when I called back to cancel the follow up - the person answering the phone recognized my number and promptly hung up on me. The seating is not for the disabled in the office either. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SEE ANYONE BUT THIS OFFICE!

Wonderful Neurologist
Dr. Osterbauer truly cares about his patients. I have a rare neurological disorder and Dr. Osterbauer is not narrowminded about treatment options. He is openminded and willing to combine both conventional and alternative treatment options. He goes above and beyond to look into the situation and creates an individualized treatment plan that is tailored for his patient's medical needs. This is a doctor who listens to you and will do the research to help you in every way possible. If he cannot assist you, he will definitely point you in the right direction of a doctor or specialist who can. The front desk staff are also extremely kind and professional. I cannot recommend Dr. Osterbauer enough.

I would recommend Dr. Osterbauer any day!!
Dr. Osterbauer is the only doctor to finally listen to me and what's been going on. I went to see him because I have epilepsy. He took the time to hear every detail. He asked me about my history and things that I didn't even think would matter to a Neurologist. He ran a group of tests and diagnosed me with things that my PCP should have found years and years ago. For instance, my doctors have been telling me that I have Endometriosis. They never did any tests, just went by my "symptoms". Come to find out, I don't have Endometriosis at all, I have PCOS and it's able to be controlled with just a few meds. So I've been living with this pain for all these years, for no absolute reason. I was so relieved to finally have answers...REAL ANSWERS! It was so amazing to finally have a doctor that took his time and WANTED to listen. Thank you for not making me feel like just another number.

Dr. Osterbauer is the most genuine and caring doctor that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He got to the bottom of my traumatic health crisis and got me back to my pre-Covid health after suffering from debilitating seizures and other ailments. Furthermore, he is getting to the root of the problems of other medical issues instead of just prescribing medicines. What I love most is that he truly cares about you as a person, which is rare nowadays in the medical field.

Dr. O is not perfect, but he is the neurologist that listened, validated and tried to help. He brought a Lyme specialist to the team and they worked together. I know he has some personal issues, but that does not take away from how thoughtful he is. He listens.

Dr Osterbauer is my dr and my wife's. He's the best neurologist we've had (I've taken her to several over the last 3 decades for her epilepsy and he is the ONLY one to quickly identify she has PCOS which should've been diagnosed & treated decades ago as her condition is textbook. He also is the easiest to deal with, which is a real benefit for those with brain issues like ptsd. Highly recommend.
