I grew up in rural Kansas and began private practice in neurology in 1986. I am a founding member of Northland Neurological Associates (now Meritas Health Neurology). I am a former president of the medical staff of North Kansas City Hospital.

Additionally, I am very experienced in peripheral neuropathy disorders and EMG. I also have training in vagal nerve stimulation for treatment of epilepsy and deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease. Other areas of interest include dementia, multiple sclerosis and concussion.

12/18/2024

Dr. Hollenbeck and staff always make me feel welcome and known. Dr. Hollenbeck is very knowledgeable and keeps up with his patients and knows how their lives can impact their health. He is very thorough and mindful of all of his patients.

12/13/2024

From the start when I called in to schedule the appointment. The experience was amazing. You could tell that this office truly cares and goes above and beyond. ❤️

12/04/2024

Both Receptionists are friendly and expedited my admission. Dr. Hollenbeck’s nurse, Velma, was kind and proficient going over my history, medications and checking vitals. All of this great patient service took place before my scheduled 10am appointment time! By 10:03am Dr. Hollenbeck came in the room with his team! I would have waited hours for him. I sincerely appreciate their respect for their patients time. Dr. Hollenbeck listened attentively, asked questions I hadn’t thought about and completed a thorough examination. Dr. Hollenbeck eased my fears, scheduled additional testing, and PT. I know I’m in the best care now and I have a renewed excitement for my future health and life. Can’t thank them enough.

11/27/2024

It is always a very positive experience when I see Dr Hillenbeck.

11/19/2024

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Larry C. Hollenbeck—seriously, I’d be here all day if I tried. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands (and not just because he promised there’d be no tests involving needles). Dr. Hollenbeck listens like a therapist, explains like a professor, and cares like... well, a doctor you actually want to see. This man doesn’t just aim for health targets—he hits them, and then checks to make sure they're dead. Adjusting treatment plans? He does it like he's fine-tuning a classical guitar, which—by the way—he actually plays. That's right, when he’s not untangling neural pathways, he’s plucking away at Bach. His staff is top-tier too. They make you feel so welcome, you might forget you’re at a neurologist’s office and not a day spa (minus the spa part). Bottom line: Dr. Hollenbeck is the real deal, and my health and life are better for it. Highly recommend—unless you’re allergic to great care and classical music.

The staff is very kind and professional. They get to you shortly after you come to the door to find out why you are there. Dr Hollenbeck tells you what you need to know and what he is going to do. I will continue to go to Hollenbeck because I like him as a doctor.

07/24/2024

03/27/2024

Dr. Larry Hollenbeck is a caring doctor who has taken care of my Dad 20 plus years ago, my Mom 10 plus years ago and myself since I had an aneurysm scar tissue that caused seizures. Dr. Hollenbeck did testing and he kept realigning my medicine until the seizures were no longer there. I see him once a year for a checkup and blood test to be sure my medicine level is correct. I would recommend him to anyone who has neurological problems.

03/04/2024

Larry was very helpful and spent a lot of his time with myself and my wife. Very satisfied

02/14/2024

I've seen a lot of doctors and specialists. Dr. Hollenbeck is the best one I've seen. He actually listens to you and cares about you and your health. The staff is amazing, friendly and responsive. This day and age it seems like many offices treat you like a number rather than a person. Thank you Dr. Hollenbeck for treating me like a person.

02/13/2024

Short wait in the waiting area and patient room. Listens to me and works "with" me regarding my care. I trust his recommendations and assessments.

01/09/2024

Dr Hollenbeck is easily the best doctor of any specialization I’ve ever seen. He treats not just the condition, but the person as a whole. He cares about me. I’ve seen Dr Hollenbeck for years now, and he continues to set the gold standard for what a medical professional should be. He saved my life. I’d leave 6 stars if I could.

Meeting Dr Hollenbeck was an excellent experience. He listened and paid attention as he gathered my history of Multiple Sclerosis since 1999.

Dr Hollenbeck is fantastic!

03/23/2023

Dr Hollenbeck has been treating for many years. His soft spoken, self confident voice coupled with what he is telling put concerns to the back burner. He has proven many times I can fully trust him.

02/18/2023

I have been going to Dr Hollenbeck for a few years now. He and his staff are highly professional and extremely knowledgeable. I have asked him question(s) and he always goes the extra thousand miles to answer it even when it is not directly connected to my diagnosis. And bonus…his wait time from check in to seeing him has always been short (usually 20 minutes after walking in the door to seeing him. Dr H and staff have gone the extra 1000s of miles for me. I appreciate it so much more than my words can express. I dread the day he retires.

02/08/2023

Very fast and efficient

Dr. Hollenbeck is by far the best neurologist EVER!! He always remember everything from past appointments that we have discussed, even if my check ups are every 6 months. Would highly recommend!!

11/10/2022

The receptionists were very polite and courteous. The nurse was on time and thorough about my medical history. I appreciated that. Dr. was on time, interested in my situation, and discussed with me my options. I appreciated his knowledge and diagnosis of my issue. After talking with the Dr. we decided my best option for that day was Botox. I was administered the shot. He suggested seeing me again in 3 months. I was willing to do that but his calendar was filled until March. I have made that appointment.
