About

My passion for science began in childhood and only deepened over time. By the age of 12, I was already fascinated by medicine, even watching surgical procedures on television with great interest. My wife once remarked that I would become a neurologist, and she was right. That early curiosity evolved into a lifelong commitment to understanding the complexities of the human nervous system.

I changed my neurologist and I am glad I did.

It is a treat to follow up with Dr. Cockburn. He always puts me at ease and allows me to tease him a little and is good natured. I chose him after reading he specialized in MG and he was young and would likely outlive me. He had a nice smile. He keeps it covered with mask to protect his patients I am sure. He is keeping my symptoms under control and is flexible and a very good listener.

First dr that seemed like he cared about my pain and lack of sleep from pain.

Many concerns from my problems looked up my past medical history dive in detail of why I'm having these newer problems. He gave me good options, explanations of what we could go for in the best direction possible and all around just a very good doctor.

He just did not seem prepared, nor had head read the notes from the emergency room or the last appointment from the neurology. Just seemed indifferent about my situation
