He is the worst Doctor for a MS patient he doesn't even know or how to treat a MS patient he won't even deal with if your MS has gone down hill. He was recomended by a well known MS specialist. He won't treat you if you go to a Specialist he doesn't want to see you or look at you. Since he didn't want to see me anymore I had to quit work and go on SSDI, because my condition went down hill in less than 2 months after Sept 30, 08. His PA knows more than he does and she care about you when you came in to see. He doesn't even care if you live or die.

I went to see Dr. Bjork for severe migraines. He recommended Botox injections. My insurance did approve the injections. He informed me that the muscles by my temples and the back of the neck were severely irritated and inflamed because of my pain issues. I hoped for an answer in these injections, but after I had the injections, I had absolutely no result at all. Dr. Bjork stated that he had used a minimal dose in the injections and stated that they should be repeated. Why would a doctor use a minimal dose in this situation? Other than bringing in $3,000 per try. My insurance would not cover another attempt (which I don't blame them for). Dr. Bjork then suggested medicinal marijuana. His website, DementoDome.com, is also questionable.

Dr Bjork didn't fluff my MS illness. I was armed with more good information after my 1st visit with Dr Bjork than all my previous neurologist combined. I highly recommend Dr. Bjork!

I was very dissatisfied with Dr. Byork. My daughter was seen for severe headache for 2 1/2 months and a tumor/cyst on her MRI. She had to take strong pain meds most every day. Dr Byork told her she was "intense" and ordered Biofeed back and vitamins,plus a muscle relaxer for pain. It was a joke!
I have suffered from severe migraines for years and feel I can spot a good, knowledgeable doc. Dr. Bjork isn't it. His only solution was to take me off of all meds and recommend Botox which insurance doesn't cover and is very expensive. He offered no other options. He wasn't open to anything I had tried that had worked in the past. I have since been warned away from him by several other docs I have seen through the emergency/urgent care system. (They won't tell you outright not to see him; just by the reactions I got when I mentioned I had seen him were enough!)

Dr Bjork seems quite up on new srategies to combat MS. He is caring and takes time with you. I am looking forward to battling this monster with him

Such a wonderful man, a caring doctor - this doctor actually cares about my pain and tries to come up with a solution. His office dosen't overbook, so when I sit down I'm immediately called in and I'm not rushed out of the office when he comes in.
