I have been in the care of Dr. Alessi-LaRosa for a traumatic brain injury for the past 1 1/2 years. Unlike a different hospital's n_____ team I had initially seen, she is progressive in understanding and treating TBI's. She explains everything fully, strategically pivots to whichever treatment is best at any given time, refers me to specialists that are best in their field, and brings calm & sense of hope. She goes the extra step such a responding same day to messages & actively communicates with related specialists. Her recognition that cognitive behavioral therapy is critical in healing has enabled my progress in healing. I hope others get the opportunity I have had to be in her care. OUTSTANDING!

I can't express enough gratitude for Dr. Allessi Larosa and the exceptional care I received after my car accident. She took the time to properly diagnose my condition and patiently guided me through handling my related deficits. Her expertise and compassionate approach made a significant difference in my progress. I highly recommend Dr. Allessi Larosa to anyone in need of a neurologist who truly cares about her patients. She is super knowledgeable, patient, and capable.
