Lealani Mae Y. Acosta MD, MPH

I had a lumbar puncture this morning that was done by Dr. Bell. He was amazing, I was pretty nervous and he totally put me at ease. The procedure itself wasn't bad at all, I've had several in the past and this was probably the most comfortable I've had done.

She is great. Always gives us time to ask questions, makes sure we understand everything she talks about and she is so encouraging. We think Dr Acosta is the best.

Dr Acosta was very kind, truthful and gave me very good advice for moving forward. She's very smart. I feel fortunate that my team of doctors at Vanderbilt are so supportive and smart.

Dr Acosta was fabulous. She listened to me, she spent 40 min with me and had already looked at my outside recordsShe did a thorough neurologic exam and a detailed memory examShe saw something on my prior brain mri that has never been told to me by my prior neurologistNote I accidently hit very poor above. I meant very good. She is 5 star

I have already recommended her to others!

Awesome

Dr. Acosta has superb knowledge extremely beneficial to us who have Alzheimer's and to the Caregiver. She prepares beforehand, having already refreshed her memories about the medicines we take, the many tests we've had, their results and asks clear and focused questions, Not using medical language, but common language that people like us can understand; she listens intentsy, and then makes suggestions. When she lays out the suggestions, she also clearly lays out alternatives and the risks. She is a phenomenal jewel in Vanderbilts crown. We've had many excellent caregivers from Vanderbilt, but she is absolutely one of the best.

Knowing how busy our care taker is she would not rush the visit until she was satisfied she answered and we understood all questions

Good
