Dr Eaton is by far the best doctor we have encountered during this journey with Alzheimer's disease and we have seen quite a few. Unlike most doctors that like to hear themselves talk then rush you out the door Dr Eaton takes the time to actually listen to his patient and offer recommendations and suggestions that best suits the patient's needs. He is also the only doctor that showed any concern and helpfulness for the family/caregivers. We would highly recommend Dr Eaton to anyone in need of his services.

Dr Eaton is the most thorough, most patient, and most knowledgeable physician I have ever had. I have cognitive impairment and he never rushes me. He goes over all my tests and scans in detail and explains them to me, and is always very thorough with his questions.

It was rushed and the doctor told me what had ( Alzheimer's) and that was that. Then he sent to go to a nurse to take blood . That sas that.

Dr Eaton never rushes me- Inkocenmy appts with him cos we go over everything I have concerns or questions about and he takes me seriously and never patronizes me or talksDown to me. He always has good ideas about something to try to help me function better with my disease and he follows through with anything he suggests
