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.

Great doctor
Dr. Katariwala took the time to meet with me and my family and answered our multiple questions thoroughly. He explained everything in detail and repeated what we didn’t understand. He didn’t make us feel rushed. We felt very comfortable and confident in his decisions. I would absolutely recommend Dr. K to anyone.

The gal who performed my test was nice and explained everything. But, it has been over a week and I still don’t have the test results. Called the office numerous times asking about the test but it appears he hasn’t read the test yet

Not at this time. Too lengthy. Would have at initial meeting in 2014. After late winter office visit and ensuing test, I wouldn’t be comfortable to recommend this doctor.

I can not say enough how caring Dr. K is. He has been a true advocate for finding a way to treat my migraines and help me return to some form of normalcy. I appreciate that he is always willing to listen to my concerns and that he is willing to try homeopathic as well as western medicine solutions. Dr. K is very knowledgeable and keeps looking for new ways to help.

This office will try to over bill you for your stay at Franciscan Health. Make sure that you have your insurance do a second review of the bill. Dr. Katariwala & his NP are not in-network with Franciscan Health. He owns the NeuroClinic, PC, which is a level 2 for Franciscan. Office manager, Sylvia, is very rude & she will harass you by phone and threaten to turn you in to collections even after you have shown that you don't owe anything.

VERY UNHAPPY – Mar 16, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Katariwala?
Not a good bedside manner at all. I refused to let him treat me. My husband will not let him near me. He's very rude and made me feel like I had to prove to him that I was really seriously in pain with a headache of some sort for 8 days straight. First thing he said to us was “you’re not getting any opioids”. My response to that was they don't help me anyway. He was assigned to treat me twice in the hospital for migraines. We didn't get very far the second time. After I signed myself out of the hospital and found someone who would listen to what I was telling them instead of treating me like an addict. Narcotics do not help my migraines. My advice is to keep looking for a neurologist who has better ratings!!

I went to him as a patient one time and was treated VERY rudely. I had a follow up due to a car accident for multiple issues. He discussed my first issue and said I would have to make an appointment to see him for my other issues separately. Why?? More insurance money? More co-pay’s being paid? Shame shame shame on you for caring more about money than patient care!! Terrible experience with no resolutions, don’t waste your time !!!!!!

My Mom visited Dr K. The Dr had to deal with 4 of us and he was stellar. I was hesitant because of reviews, but he is awesome.

Dr. K is an excellent doctor. He was the one who diagnosed me with Migraine. He is extremely knowledgeable, easy to get along. He worked with me through all the hurdles Identify my trigger points and coach me through my acute headaches.As soon as he walks in the door you can tell he just knows migraines inside out. His Botox procedure has worked wonders and would recommend to all migraine patients. I would recommend him to all family and friends in a heart beat.
