    About our process
    Sep 07, 2024
    I had a seizure at or just prior to Dr. Knowlton joining the video conference. He was able to determine I might be having a seizure based on visual cues. He then called my cell phone and left a message. After I recovered from the seizure I was able to rejoin the visit and found Dr. Knowlton still on the video visit. I am very happy with the level of care provided during this incident.

    I found Dr. Knowlton to be very engaging. My appointment felt more conversational, which was nice. Dr. Knowlton provided helpful information and conceded there are a lot of unknowns. I appreciated his candor. I also appreciated his respect of my viewpoint.

    Very satisfied with Dr Knowlton
    My job is one big privilege. I learn more from my patients than from any other experience in my work or study. I can only hope that what my patients receive is close to the same.
