I had an excellent visit with Dr. Lock. He took the time to answer my questions and we spent a lot of time discussing my possible diagnosis.

One of the first experiences with a MD who took time to understand the background of my condition. Thank you!
Very happy with MD.
Dr. Lock is a great neurologist. He understands my hesitation to get super medicated in order to take care of my migraines. He discussed a lot of alternative medicine ideas. He's warm, calm, and knowledgeable about neurology, and easy to talk to. I would have liked if his sole practice was around headache/migraine care like the doctor I was originally referred to, because at times, it felt like I was teaching him some things. But in general, I was pleasantly surprised by the visit
dr Lock is fantastic. I have had a number of neurologists in my life and he clearly is brilliant, but never talks down to you and is always so gracious and spends as much time as needed. he is like a teddy bear.
Good doctor!
My husband and I really like Dr. Lock and his staff. Very accommodating to our requests to schedule all appointments and tests in 1 day. We like the way he treats us.
Best advice & care.
I enjoyed talking with Dr. Chris Lock and nurse Julie they were - very relaxing.
Because he concluded my problem/symptoms are not within his scope of expertise, I left with even more questions. I felt marginalized that my concerns/questions were of little consequences. Despite my questions he could not give me a direction in which to follow-up except agreeing to do some further lab work at my husband's insistence.
Dr. Lock spent a lot of time w/me I appreciate it.
Dr. Lock takes time to really communicate with me.
Absolutely Love Dr Lock!
