Alexandra Degenhardt's Online Review Report Card

She is very thorough and takes the needed time to understand my medical concerns. Dr. Degenhardt is quite intelligent and knows her stuff. I have been under her care for 7 years and I can truly say I am blessed to have such a skilled physician to care for me. She has made a huge difference in the quality of my life.

Husband went to her 3 years. He was told his lesions were normal, he didn’t have MS. He has all symptoms of it. He went back this year, now she says he has it but there’s no change in his lesions on this MRI. Talks to him like he’s stupid. Took over a month to get meds due to her mess up and her office staff. He asks questions thru portal she writes back in all caps “take your medicine” but he was asking about his results of an MRI and that was her answer. I have spent countless hours on the phone making sure they did their job and they haven’t several times. We are switching him to a new Dr now that we finally got his meds. My friend had horror stories also about her giving her meds for MS when she didn’t even have MS. It nearly ruined her career and life. She was in the same shape as a stroke victim. Degenhardt just kept upping her meds and making her worse instead of finding the real issue, which was the meds. She’s terrible! I wouldn’t waste your time!

Was referred by Dartmouth Hitchcock Research Hospital. By MS specialist Dr Smith. Saw her in 2019. Says my MS is very complicated. Well duh, each person is different. My vision is fine but when the MS flares up I lose vision in both of my eyes, balance issues, confusion and sometimes memory loss. I know my body better than any Dr tells me. I have tried 5 different medications and I am not the only one who had a bad reaction to IVIG infusions. Which destroyed my bladder. My gut feeling is telling me to not to trust a Dr who is not living in my body. And never had MS. I really really don't want to see her since she is passing me off to another MS neurologist. She says my medical conditions are complex.

This neurologist is by far the very best neurologist you can ever hope to have. She doesn't just read test results like most of them. She actively asks pertinent questions to solve the most difficult of neurological issues. She genuinely cares about her patients, even if it may appear in a no-nonsense fashion. I am and always will be eternally grateful to this amazing and extremely brilliant person. ...

Dismissive, hurried, impersonal & insulting to my intelligence. Refused to listen to my concerns. Made me feel humiliated by brushing off my questions. This is a new Neuro for me, my long-time doc recently retired. I understand my disease of 30+ years and have never been made to feel so reproved. Needless to say: Disappointed

She is always patient and listens to all of my concerns regarding Myasthenia Gravis as well as new symptoms. She has helped me figure out what medications are right for me. And she is very informative.

Excellent attention to detail as well as truly concerned for my welfare .

Great Doc....able to provide a diagnosis. Very pleased with professionalism and kind way.

For nearly ten years I suffered from strange neurological issues. They seem to come and go with little explanation. Numerous MRIs, ENGs, muscle biopsies, you name it...I was given several different diagnosis including the last from my Florida doctor, a devastating motor neuropathy disease. I believed I had MS and sought an expert in Dr. Degenhardt, thankfully she reran tests, tried successfully to treat with the least innocuous of all potentials meds. To say I feel 50% better is an understatement. I can sleep again, my muscle spasms are manageable and while I still see some progression...it is vastly improved and I feel like its manageable.

Does not listen to patients, is very rude! Is arrogant and ignores patients comments, symptoms, etc.
