I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. William Irr. He is truly an exceptional neurologist who goes far beyond what anyone could expect from a physician.
My husband had been suffering from seizures that could occur suddenly and without warning. Dr. Irr carefully evaluated his condition and recommended a newer medication that could significantly help control the seizures. Thanks to his expertise and treatment plan, my husband has now been seizure-free for about a year and a half, which has been life-changing for our family.
Unfortunately, when the medication was first prescribed, the cost was extremely high — about $1,250 per month — and our insurance initially refused to cover it. It was simply not something we could afford out of pocket.
What impressed us most was how Dr. Irr refused to give up. Despite his incredibly busy schedule, he personally advocated on my husband’s behalf and worked tirelessly with both the insurance company and the pharmaceutical company to fight for approval. During this time, he even provided my husband with medication samples to make sure he could continue the treatment without interruption.
After all of his effort and persistence, we finally received the wonderful news that the medication was approved. Instead of paying $1,250 per month, my husband now only pays a $20 copay.
This outcome would not have been possible without Dr. Irr’s dedication and compassion. He truly cares about his patients and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure they receive the care and treatment they need.
In addition to his medical expertise, Dr. Irr is patient, kind, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. We feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my husband’s neurologist.
If you are looking for a neurologist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely committed to his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. William Irr highly enough.
Doctors like Dr. Irr don’t just treat patients — they change lives, and our family will always be grateful for the care he gave my husband.

I am shocked to see the low reviews. My experience with Dr Vanderlick was exceptional! She was the 1st neuro I ever saw who actually helped me. She listened, cared and helped me get answers and relief! I highly recommend Dr. Vanderlick!!

I have been a patient of Dr Vanderlick for 6 years. She has played an important role in the healing of my neuropathy from two back surgeries. I have utmost confidence in her and highly recommend her.

I saw Dr. Chachere a few times after developing issues due to being in a coma. He thoroughly reviewed the report, listened to me patiently, explained the testing, how to prep for them, eased my fears and came up with a plan of action that felt designed for me and not just generic. Dr. Chachere is personable, polite, professional and easy on the eyes.

Dr. Vanderlick truly cares about your wellbeing. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend her! The office is nice and easy to get to and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would not trust any where else.

I always have a pleasant experience when I deal with this office either in person or on the phone. The front office staff are friendly, courteous and willing to work around you as much as possible. I've been seeing Dr. Vanderlick for a while now and she is always extremely personable, takes the time needed to explain if need be and most of all, listens. Her assistant is also great to communicate with and makes the process painless. They also have a lab and MRI facility in the same building. If you have to go to a neurologist, definitely go here.

My husband and I are both patients of Dr Irr. My husband became extremely ill in Seattle, Washington December 31, 2011 before his flight to Anchorage, Alaska. He was flown back to Houston January 1, 2012. He was referred to Dr. Irr. Long story short, he had a right vertebral artery dissection. Dr. Irr, along with interventional radiologists, saved my husband's life. We both continue as patients of Dr. Irr as we have been for the past 12 years. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, listens to our questions and provides answers. We appreciate Dr. William Irr, his expertise, and the care he has provided for us.

Dr Irr is wonderful physician. He has a lot of experience. He listens to you and uses his experience to help you. He has a fantastic new assistant who is great!! I hope she never leaves.

My first visit was very positive warm and friendly receptionist. Dr. Irr was thoughtful and complete with the examination and did not rush through. Giving me an understanding for my problem. Also, pleasant and very clean facility.

Immediately after leaving Dr. Irr’s office I called my sister with whom I frequently discuss our ailments to tell her that I finally found a doctor who took the time to explain to me what my problem is and what I need to do next. He is very knowledgeable and has a great personal touch. He lives up to his reputation as being a top doctor in his field. Thank you Dr. Irr.

The best doctor in the history of doctors. No one cares, researches, and the humility of Dr. Irr. He's the smartest doctor I know and he will still listen to me babble and say, "Oh ok..." and treat me with respect. He's truly one of the only Houston doctors who has the heart.

It is obvious that Dr. Irr is very experienced. He is thoughtful, encouraging and empathetic. He listens and reacts as needed and his staff are professionally kindhearted. My mom is happy when she sees Dr. Irr and that gives me peace.

Dr. Vanderlick is probably the BEST doctor I have ever seen. She is thorough, knowledgeable, personable, and likeable. She takes her time, gives you plenty of time for discussion and questions and gives you treatment options.

Dr. Mary Ellen Vanderlick is outstanding! Her ability to listen to her patient and commitment to finding the root cause of an issue is comforting. She is patient, kind, and reassuring. You can't go wrong with Dr. Vanderlick as your doctor. She is simply the BEST!

I have been with Dr. Vanderlick for many years. I met her at St. Luke’s when I worked there & started seeing her for Migraine Mgt. & also cervical fusion related issues. She is the best Dr. I ever have seen b/c she takes her time explaining your problems & is one of the rare Neurologists who can read your MRI, & does tests that are needed to deal with your problems. Also she is so kind & if she has samples, she will give you what you need as long as her stock is available by her Pharmaceutical Representatives. She has helped me be the best dealing with my issues & living as healthy as possible. I think she is one of the top Neurologist you can see in Houston, Texas in her specialty with her associates.

Dr Irr has been so kind with my dad who experienced a brain injury during heart bypass surgery in 2005. The past few months have seen changes in personality and behavior that Dr Irr has been there to help us navigate and look for solutions.

We are new to Houston. My previous neurologist suggested Dr. Vanderlick. She is everything that he said she would be. Dr. V is very helpful and concern about me and my MG. I think we're going to work well together.
The staff was great and very helpful.

Dr. Vanderlick has treated me for over a decade. She’s experienced, thoughtful, encouraging and empathetic. She listens and reacts as needed. She and her staff are professionally kindhearted; my needs are always addressed and she keeps my condition stable.

Dr. Irr has taken care of family members for 25 years. He gives skill and thought to each person’s health issues and always ways to make our lives easier. Trigeminal neuralgia, stroke, migraine headaches and dementia are the diagnoses that we have trusted him with. Dr. Irr made a difference with all.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Irr and have many times.
Thank you Dr. Irr for all your care!

Knew somewhat how my concerns would be evaluated/tested, but was surprised at the number, variety, and thoroughness of the evaluations. Dr. Vanderlick was very kind and reassuring about the issues I had been experiencing. She listened to my explanation of the issues and typed notes as we discussed them. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a neurologist.

Dr. Vanderlick has a listening ear to your explanation of your problem. She has been on target with all her diagnoses with me. The staff is very courteous and efficient. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vanderlick for your medical needs.

Have been active patient of Dr. Bill Irr for both me and wife for 7-8 yrs. Wife was seen for ALZ(since passed) and I'm active. Dr. is outstanding in attentiveness, care, and dealing with the issues at hand. Most acommodating and understanding; we traveled 300 miles each way. Positive attitude prevails along with the underlying treatment necessary to deal with the health issues.
