Excellent care from Associated Neurological Specialists. I'm very satisfied with the care I get from Dr. Cain and his staff. They are always courteous and helpful, especially when handling referrals to other facilities for testing. I'm always seen promptly when arriving at the office and am not kept waiting for long periods. Dr. Cain takes the time to explain my test results to me, and answers any questions I have in a straightforward professional manner, without being condescending or overly technical. I found Dr. Cain after relocating to Austin, seeking care for a pre-existing condidion, and have seen several neurologsts in other cities over the last few years. I feel fortunate to have found a good neurologist on my first try here in Austin.

pretentious, condescending doctor with little regard for his patient.. On first visit, Dr. Cain seemed pretty darn good. He was nice, seemed sincere and took time to get to know me. Soon after I found problems; he had suggested that based on the test results that brought me to him, I may have one of many degenerative muscle problems. Yet after dropping this bomb, he became extremely difficult to get in touch with and when I could get him on the phone his answers were short, simple and he did not listen to my concerns. On my final visit, when I came to get some possibly life-changing test results, he walked in the room and said 'I don't know why you're here, we don't have the results.' I told him his assistant had phoned me the day before saying otherwise. While looking through his file he said 'well I left early yesterday to go see a baseball game, so I wouldn't know.' He found the results, though. At the end of the whole affair (two months worth of worrying and several tests including a surgery) he asked me a simple question 'had I worked out the day before my original test'--the one that lead to my first visit to him. I had answered in the affirmative on my first visit and did so again. He said the original result was probably due to nothing more than the stress of the workout and I was just fine. $3000 and two months worth of worry too late. Another (smaller) issue was his pretension. He did not seem to realize that many comments he made about my profession were extremely rude and condescending. Another review has already addressed the rude nursing staff.<br><br> I have just returned from my primary care physician who tells me MOST OF HIS PATIENTS REPORT BAD EXPERIENCES WITH DR. CAIN

Doctors Robert Cain and George Petroff are wonderful. I have the opportunity to see both Dr. George Petroff and Dr. Robert Cain and am very impressed with both physicians. Besides offering top notch medical care, they are both very conscientious and kind. I look forward to my future visits and would highly recommend either physician to family and friends in need of a neurologist. Furthermore, their office staff is extremely polite and helpful.

Good neurologist. I really liked Dr. Cain. I appreciated him taking the time with me and going over my MRIs and explaing everything to me. I got more info about my disease and I liked that I could ask him as many questions as I wanted and that he gave me good advice. He seemed to care and i didnt feel like he was rushing, like doctors normally do. I liked the girls who worked the front desk,. They were really friendly. I did not talk to any of the nurses yet so I cant say anything about that.

Good Doctor, Not Good Nurses. Dr. Cain is an honest and forthright doctor. I appreciate his knowledge about my disease and I have liked going to see him. However, his nursing staff changed this summer and since then, I have had less than "bedside manner". They don't always capture the correct info and don't let the patient get a word in edgewise. This has occurred multiple times and I think it is less than acceptable. I was also told by Dr. Cain that there had been other complaints about the shortness of a nurse.
