Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Saw this doctor twice, and was very pleased both times. I was so surprised at the amount of time he put into discussing my problem (migraines) with me, and providing a lot of education for me. He did this without seeming to talk down, and was just very positive and helpful. In the end, he really nailed the treatment and my quality of life has improved a ton! I only wish i hadn't waited so long to receive treatment, assuming that my headaches would be dismissed as minor.

I saw Dr. Vidyashanker for several visits for dizziness, vertigo and neck issues. He was very easy to talk to. He has a nice down to earth feel that many doctors don't possess. He doesn't have any problem explaining things to you if you have questions. He tries to make the explanations easy to understand.

I had been to two other neurologists before being referred to Dr. Vidyashanker. He is the ONLY one that sat and talked to me, taking a full history, and actually repeating it back to make sure he heard everything correctly. I left the office with actual answers!! THANK YOU!

Dr. Vidyashanker is a caring and knowledgeable professional. He was very thorough on test to insure his diagnosis was accurate. He patiently reviewed an MRI in great detail to make sure we understood what the results revealed. He offered practical advice on best follow-up steps that we could pursue. We highly recommend this dedicated, knowledgeable and caring professional!

I first went to see Dr. V for strange headaches I was having. At the time I was very concerned about why these headaches were happening, but the entire staff put me at ease. The front desk staff, the nurse and Dr. V were all so welcoming and made me feel very taken care of. During a very nerve racking time, I was glad to be in such good hands. Dr. V ordered tests to rule out major potential health problems and really took his time to listen to me. I would highly recommend Dr. V.

I found Dr. Vidyashanker to be one of the finest doctors I've ever met with. He is insightful, thorough, extremely knowledgeable and allowed me all the time that I needed to explain my problems and ask any questions. He worked through a somewhat complicated set of issues that I have had and completely clarified my prognosis and expectations. If all doctors had his bedside manner, life would be better for many of us. I recommend him very highly!

I had an appointment with Dr. Vidyashanker recently. My first thought was how welcoming the staff were both at the desk and the attendant that ushered me to the exam room and recorded personal history. The doctor listens is encouraging and answers questions thoroughly. I have been to multiple doctors for migraines, he is the one who has made a difference.

Dr. V was very thorough and listens and does not hurry you. My only criticism is his failure to recognize chronic Lyme Disease, something he shares with many other physicians.
