Moschonas G Constantine, MD

I was a patient of Dr. Moschonas for nearly 8 years. A very nice fellow. Maybe too nice. His warm personality clouded my judgment as he failed to diagnose my disease for years. I was so assured by his personality that I failed to get a second opinion for nearly 7 years as my disease progressed. His answer was to «wait until it gets worse so we can figure it out». The second opinion found the problem after only a few weeks of tests. But, after some damage had needlessly been done. I also blame myself. Don’t hesitate to get a second opinion. Maybe niceness isn’t the most important thing to look for in a Doctor.

Dr. Moschonas is by far one of the most caring doctors I’ve ever had. If not for him I do not know what I would have done. He is so easy to talk to understands your needs. The patient portal is awesome. I’ve written to Dr M and I’ve gotten a reply like at 4am. Impressive Yes!
I would recommend Dr Moschonas to anyone with Neuro issues.

I went to Dr. Moschonas after having a horrible experience with another neurologist (Gary Reese). I immediately liked him! He was friendly and made jokes. He listened to me and ordered all the tests possible to confirm a previous diagnosis of MS. We got the test results and decided on Copaxone for treatment. The first few years went by and everything was great. Then suddenly I would go to my appointments with him only to find out I was seeing one of the several PA’s he went through. I was told that because I was an established patient that I would be seeing him one visit then the PA the next and so on back and forth. Well that never happened. I just kept seeing her until I requested an appointment with him. I had been going down hill for a few months and had brought with me a list of concerns I wanted to address. I finally see him and as soon as I pull out my note pad he gets this «oh here we go!» Look on his face. Let me also note that during the majority of the appointment he was typing in the computer. Not even looking at me. Just typing and clearly he isn’t typing what I am saying to him. So I sarcastically say «are you paying attention?» Mind you we had developed a very unconventional relationship which was based on a lot of sarcasm and tit for tat jokes. I digress. So he looks at me and says «I’m adding your information into the computer» they had just switched to computer charting. So the whole time I was talking about the issues I was having, he was just transcribing my chart! So I ask him what he thinks about my problems and he sarcastically says «you know you have MS right?» I said «ya, so are you telling me to just buck up and there isn’t anything you can do for me?» And he says «yes». By now the haha funny back and forth has gotten real old. I was having some serious issues and could hardly do my job anymore. He just kept blowing off all the things I was saying. I told him that it’s fine if he can’t do anything but I wanted him to at least document what I was saying so there was a paper trail. It just got to the point where he wasn’t doing anything about my issues and I was just showing up, paying him, getting a pat on the head and sent on my way. Oh and God help you if you are having an urgent issue and need to call and speak to him. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! The receptionist takes the note and puts it up on a board. And whenever he happens to see it is when he decides what to do with it. Which all too often was nothing! I would call and call and still nothing. I had one particularly bad pain issue on a Friday. I called once in the morning when they opened because I knew they would need time to figure out how to help me. Nothing… Call back at 12:30…nothing. Call at 2:30 and now I’m aggravated. I tell the receptionist that I really need to talk to him so he can help me before the end of the day. Especially if he was going to write me a new script. I needed time to get down there and to a pharmacy. That’s when I was told about the pin it up on the board and he sees it when he sees it policy. I said «can’t you just catch him and say hey, you have a patient that urgently needs to speak to you. She has called a few times and needs to talk to you BEFORE the end of the day» that didn’t sound crazy to me. SHE WOULDNT DO IT! and guess what? HE NEVER CALLED ME! I went all weekend in bed bawling my eyes out in pain. In fact he only ever called me back one time in all the 8 years I was his patient. When Monday came his PA called me and all but accused me of being a junkie! Needless to say I got a referral to a pain specialist. I finally have a doctor who listens to me, helps me, and treats me with respect. Dr. M is a great doctor if your 50+. Anyone under that just gets treated like some annoying child to be dismissed at will.

A school friend of mine referred me to Dr. Mochon
as and he has been my neurologist for several years now. He is patient and has the knowlede that i needed to find for years.

I met with Dr. Moschonas several months ago and found him to be one of the most uncaring physicians I have ever encountered. He is rude and arrogant and has little regard for his patients. Dr. Moschonas needs to develop his level of compassion for others.

I am a fan!
My PC doctor sent me to Dr Moschonas because I’ve been having some heavy duty migraines. It took almost THREE months to get in, but now I can see why the wait is so long, he is GREAT!
Super friendly, takes his time to talk to you and really seems to listen.
If you are in need of a neurologist for sure go see him!

I agree with Kerstin. A very good doctor whom I met at the St. Vincent DePaul Clinic. He donates his expertise there once a month to patients without insurance. Good man.

Dr. Moschonas is AMAZING!!! My husband & I both have been patients of his. My husband was diagnosed with Guillain-​Barre Syndrome & Miller-​Fisher Syndrome from a flu shot, which could have killed him. Dr. Moschonas was proactive with my husband, got him the care he needed in the hospital & had a great bedside manner through it all.
After the great experience with his care for my husband, when I was told that I needed to see a neurologist, I said to my pain management doctor that I know exactly who I want to see! After I told him it was Dr. Moschonas, he said «GREAT! He is great!».
The ONLY thing you need to prepare for is that there are sometimes long waits in the waiting room. Some of their testing is unpredictable & can take longer than expected. Call ahead of leaving for your appointment & make sure they are running on time. It is DEFINITELY worth the wait (if you have to wait)!
I highly recommend Dr. Moschonas to anyone that needs to see a neurologist!

Dr. Constantine Moschonas is a friendly, caring neurologist with an excellent and well-​organized staff. He is very up-​to-​date with the latest research and, as I understand it, is very highly regarded in the medical community. He has always treated me as an intelligent person, and takes the time to examine my MRI films with me so I know at what I am looking, where my problem areas are, and how that might affect me. I have not had a single negative experience in his office, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of superior neurological care.
