Venkatachalam Veerappan, MD

I cannot get ahold of anyone on the staff. I need some tests scheduled and I still haven't heard. They do not return phone calls. I find this very impolite.

Dr. V is a very caring hands on doctor. He has helped me in many ways dealing with my medical problems. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Outsanding physician!

For five years, I had been suffering from a combination of head pain, black outs, and seizures. I had seen doctor after doctor for this, all different types of treatments, medications, and tests had been issued. But no one could give me a reason for my illness. Many, many times I was told it was psychological, that it was anxiety attacks. I didn't bother going to the emergency room after a 5 minute seizure anymore, there was nothing they could do for me and I had no money. Then, after a particularly harrowing episode, I found myself in the ER. They ran the usual tests and all came back normal, then the doctor said that one of their neurologists was admitting me for a Lumbar Puncture to test for any infections. When they did the procedure, I felt my headache go away almost instantly! I told this to the tech withdrawing the spinal fluid and anyone who would listen that I felt 100x better. this feeling lasted throughout my hospital stay and into the week as I did errands, made an appointment with the neurologist who had ordered the LP, and basically did everything that other people take for granted. this feeling didn't last forever, and I started to feel the headache return. I had my appointment, and my head was dizzy and hurting. And into the room walked Dr. Veerappan. He was a bit gruff at first, but soon warmed up. He wrote a prescription for Diamox. 18 months has gone by, many things have happened in that time, including a retesting of my spinal fluid pressure. I was diagnosed with IIH and can finally see a future where I actually live my life. Thank you, Dr. Veerappan.

Excellent doctor in the Las Vegas valley for Neuro.
