Dr. Dempster is friendly and easy to talk to. He takes his time to build a trusting relationship with the patient, but always gets down to the serious stuff during the session.

A little more time with care providers and less time sitting in a room alone would be welcomed.

I liked that Dr. Dempster was honest with me about my disease and I appreciate that. I look forward to continuing our relationship around my epilepsy. Dr. Dempster is extremely knowledgeable about my disease which gives me a lot of confidence in the care I received and will receive in the future.

Dr. Dempster is obviously very knowledgeable and also very respectful. I am so happy to have him as my provider; my previous neurologist knew little about epilepsy and I am grateful for Dr. Dempster's knowledge and professionalism. I finally feel like I am in excellent care for my condition.

Explains things very well and hears my worries.
  Dec 7, 2022
This was a good visit, in that Dr. Dempster listened to both patient and mother, was cognitive of patients idiosyncrasies, was aware of issues over the course of the last year since patient's last visit. Also Dr. John took time to "visit" with patient about things that patient wanted to say even though some of this he had heard before. The effort of coming to the doctor did leave patient tired/cranky...which gives affirmation that a yearly check-up is sufficient.

I think that this appointment could have been easily done via zoom and not having to bring our son with Autism / Epilepsy into the office where he really isn't excambed at all due to his hyperactivity
  Nov 7, 2022
The appointment was quick, but great info/help receptionists.

This was a regular follow up to manage treatment for a genetic condition. I am unlikely to recommend this Doctor solely because he is a specialist.

Dr Dempster had especially good "bedside manner" during this visit which is the only area I think he can ever improve in. (Double compliment, not a complaint)
  Jun 22, 2022
Dr. Dempster had all of my records from my previous doctor, and more importantly, had gone over them and had several concerns. He explained how my current medications were effecting my other medical conditions, and offered a plan to change to medications with fewer side effects. Very pleased with my visit.

Medical assistant disregarded patient preferences. Receptionist was very good.
  Jun 13, 2022
Dr. Dempster is an excellent doctor. The best I've ever had.
  Jun 13, 2022
It would be more beneficial if the provider was allowed more time with the patient (me). Got the sense that we were in a hurry.
  Jun 6, 2022
This was my 1st visit so not completely able to form a precise opinion yet. However, staff & doctor were wonderful & prepared.
