Dr. Khalil is one of the best doctors Vanderbilt or any other hospital could wish for. I feel lucky to have him as my neurologist for over ten years now.

Dr Abou-Khalil and I work as a team. He supports this by giving professional suggestions for my healthcare and working with me to enable his ideas.

Very collaborative-- and truly what I'm looking for in a provider. I was given the option to lower my medication, but also informed of the risks, and given the choice to take the risk. The fellow who took my history and answered my questions was also very kind, professional, and helpful.
