Kenneth D. Laxer, MD

Extremely fine, and Out Going to all patients. Dr Laxer listens, answers, punctual, flexible, lives up to his words. returns calls, and includes you in all decisions. I was not doing well with Keppra. He suggested we decrease it. After not having a seizure for so many years, I was scared to say ok. So we didn’t. But after a few months, I followed his idea. I am off it, and am still doing great. I am 53 years old, and have been with him since I was 18. I definitely refer him to you. To tell you the truth, I do refer Dr Laxer to everyone.

I met Dr. Laxer 30 years ago. I had been having grand mal seizures for several years. After me getting a little pushy for some answers and some testing, UC-SF located where the seizures began. Dr. Laxer agreed to remove the particular location in the brain where they began. This was still fairly new research and he warned me that there was only a 50/50 chance that there would be no more seizures. I assured him that I had confidence in him. Somehow I knew this would be successful. With some pain (severe headaches for a few weeks) and lots of prayers, I have never had another seizure. I celebrate September 14th every year. And I thank God continually for Dr. Laxer!

Dr. Laxer is a great listener, easy to understand and explains procedures with great details. He doesn't rush my visits and responds to messages in a timely manner, even off the clock a few times.
