Can't believe I haven't reviewed him sooner- oops.
I suffer from Narcolepsy with Cataplexy. Ive had several neurologists before Dr. Izzo who kinda tossed their hands up unsure what to do about it. I first saw him about a year and a half ago when he casually informed me that there is a specific medicine for my disease- that apparently many neurologists have never heard of despite it being around for a while. It took six months of fighting my insurance to approve it- something that Izzo and his team had no issue going to bat for me. And even when it was approved coverage- they tried taking the medicine away from me. To which I had to get a lawyer, and once again- Izzo and his team went to bat for me. Writing up several letters and lectures to the insurance to get it through their heads *she needs this medicine to have a chance at life*. Not once did they give up on me. Not once did they come off annoyed or burdened. They worked together to help me, and for the first time in my LIFE I am able to FUNCTION for the most part like a normal person. My disease used to rule my life and my identity, Izzo didn't stand for that and he put his all in to help me get the care and coverage I needed while empathetically checking in with me to make sure i was on the right track.
I have been mostly symptom free from Narcolepsy and Cataplexy for a year now. It's hard to find a doctor that understands the challenges of this intense disorder- but Izzo gets it completely. I never feel doubted or scrutinized about the severity of my illness. He just gets it, and now a days that is quite hard to find. He's great. If you want a high integrity neurologist who pays careful attention and constructs the best care plan- go see Izzo. :)

Arrogant & dismissive from the time I got in there.
