Part 2: Between 2024-2025 several MD's have rather abruptly retired or been let go from their jobs at Birmingham Alabama based Grandview Neurology (located off highway 280). The move has forced patients who have been with their doctors for decades to seek services from remaining MD's / NP's unfamiliar with their medical issues (online reviews also indicate some of patients have no options at all, as the remaining doctors in the unit are not open to transfers from the doctors who left).
The reason for the sudden mass exodus is not easy to pinpoint, however their are indicators in online reviews to declining levels of customer service in recent years (ie: see my own case as a patient their in 2019 in hours of videos on my channel).
Additionally, there is some evidence to back up increasing levels of entitlement and privilege being sought & exercised within the neurology suite (I reported in a video in 2023 that the neurology MD's had brokered a deal to go home 2 hours earlier on Fridays. Also you can hear in a recorded telephone call their office staff began giving patients and customer pseudonyms / nicknames and outright refuse to give their real first and last name). These anonymous mouthpieces then go on to talk to patients about brain related medical issues which may cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions to treat. With no names, patients with issues have no recourse if they are misinformed - not a good situation.
Curiously, some MD's listed as having "retired" have taken jobs at other hospitals in Birmingham or have started their own practices across town.
Former Grandview neurological doctors Rodney Swillie & Kyle Hudgens are now listed as operating out of an address at 790 Montclair Rd #210, Birmingham, AL 35213. Additionally, Dr. James Strong is listed in some entries for the new Montclair practice but still has an active profile on the official Grandview website as of October, 2025.
According to a review dated August, '25 Some patients were only directed to an office nurse practitioner when their doctor "retired". Strangely, the nurses were later reported to have "retired" also leaving their jobs abruptly. Requests to transfer to the few remaining neurologists were denied as they are said to not be accepting new patients. Phone calls are not being answered or returned in the office and patients who have been with the practice for years report trying to contact Grandview for several months with no response.
