Dr. Raghu C. Mudumbai

I have been seeing Dr. Mudumbai nearly weekly for a five month period for a rare neurological disorder that impacts my optic nerves. So I can say from experience that Dr. Mudumbai is a one in a million doctor. He is truly an expert in his field, every question or concern, he has an immediate and clear answer for. He’s extremely thorough in his treatment plan and made sure I understood every step we took. I ended up needing surgery and I was terrified. Dr Mudumbai talked me through it time and time again, supported me while I cried, and never wavered or showed any frustration by having to keep explaining. I see a lot of commentary on the wait times, but it is so refreshing to have a Dr like him that doesn’t rush appointments, especially as he is often talking to patients about vision loss concerns that hold a lot of gravity. He gives the patient his full attention and care, and while that can make things run long, it is absolutely worth waiting for. Additionally Dr. Mudumbai is also an… incredible human. His care for his patients overall well being and mental health is unmatched, the kindness and empathy he shows is above and beyond. I am so thankful for him. If you are ever battling something that calls for a neuro-ophthalmologist, Dr. Mudumbai is who you want by your side.

He was almost two hours late. Gave me all of three minutes, including measurement and a prescription without explanation.

The long waiting-room sits, and the short time you often get with Dr Mudumbai, are worth it for his keen intelligence, skill and acumen. Several other ophthalmologists were clueless about my eye problems but Dr. M. and his able staff got it right. Office needs a medically knowledgeable person on staff to serve as patient liaison. Despite the inconvenience, if you have neuro-eye issues, this is your doc.
