Dr. Sharon Hassin-Baer Reviews

Brought my 82-year-old mother with advanced Parkinson's to Dr. Baer after three neurologists gave up. Dr. Baer spent 90 minutes just observing her tremors, then adjusted her medication with micro-dosing precision. For the first time in years, mom could drink from a cup without spilling. She treats the person, not just the disease.

Our 7-year-old daughter started having absence seizures at school. Dr. Baer knelt down to eye-level, showed her brain models, and made her laugh during the EEG. She explained everything to us in clear terms without medical jargon. We finally have answers and a treatment plan that doesn't scare our child.

Rushed to Sheba's ER with sudden vision loss and headache. Dr. Baer suspected CVST immediately and ordered the right scans while other doctors were still thinking migraine. Her quick thinking saved me from a stroke. She stayed past her shift to monitor my heparin drip herself.

Came for what I thought was a routine migraine follow-up. Dr. Baer noticed subtle weakness in my smile I hadn't even recognized. Ordered an urgent MRI that found a tiny aneurysm. Her attention to detail literally saved my life - caught it before it ruptured.

Complex brain surgery for my trigeminal neuralgia that 4 surgeons said was too risky. Dr. Baer developed a novel approach using real-time neuroimaging. Woke up with zero facial numbness and no more electric shock pain. She redefined what's possible in neurosurgery.

Follow-up after my MS diagnosis was devastating. Dr. Baer didn't just prescribe meds - she connected me with support groups, gave me dietary plans, and even recommended specific exercises. She treats the whole journey, not just the MRI lesions.

My teenager with Tourette's was embarrassed by his tics. Dr. Baer had him demonstrate his 'superpowers' and showed him famous people with neurological differences. Left the appointment feeling proud instead of ashamed. She understands the psychology behind the neurology.

Emergency transfer from another hospital with status epilepticus. Dr. Baer took over the case at 2 AM, tried a combination of medications others hadn't considered, and broke the seizure cycle after 8 hours. Her calm under pressure was incredible.

Routine checkup for my essential tremor turned into a genetic counseling session when Dr. Baer noticed family pattern. Discovered we have a rare neurological condition running through generations. She helped our entire family get testing and support.

Flying in from abroad for my rare movement disorder. Dr. Baer coordinated with my local doctor, arranged all tests in one day, and even helped with translation services. World-class expertise with personal touch.

Post-concussion syndrome after a car accident - every doctor dismissed my persistent dizziness. Dr. Baer was the first to perform vestibular testing and prescribe targeted rehab. After 6 months of suffering, I'm finally recovering.

Brought my father with advanced dementia for what I thought was a futile consultation. Dr. Baer didn't just focus on the incurable disease - she gave us practical strategies for sundowning, sleep disturbances, and communication. Improved our quality of life immensely.

Complex spinal tap procedure that had failed twice before. Dr. Baer used ultrasound guidance and had it done in minutes with minimal discomfort. Technical excellence combined with genuine empathy.

My wife with ALS - Dr. Baer visits her at home when she can't come to clinic. She adjusts treatments based on real-life functioning, not just clinical metrics. This is what compassionate neurology looks like.
