Dr. Ansher ordered an EEG for me the day of my appointment. The EEG was completed the next day which my son and I greatly appreciate. Dr. Ansher was very professional, respectful, and answered all my son's questions and my questions. He was very personable and kind to us. Dr. Ansher is an asset to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

In my opinion, Dr. Ansher is an interesting, likeable and capable doctor. I encountered him 10 years prior on another issue and liked him them, so I was pleased to see him again. As best I could see, he appears to be experienced, well-networked within JHH, and freely uses the network to the benefit of his patients.

This was my very first visit with this provider. When I called to make the appointment, the person who works for that office answered the phone, was able to schedule me for an appointment for later that day. Didn't have to use central scheduling, which is a joke

Dr Ansher is hard to schedule. I assume his skills are much in demand. His professionalism is unequalled.

Very knowledgable, clear explanations, not rushed

Dr. Ansher was very thorough in his exam. He is very quiet and I felt he should have asked a few more questions and explained the process after I get the tests done. He did have me make an appt for a nerve conduction test, but I have to wait over 2 months for that appointment.

Due to the serious nature of my health I feel Dr. Ansher may have seen me during his off time. I don't know many doctors who would do that for a new patient.
