Dr. Arvind Neelakantan, MD

Dr. Neel was stepping in for Dr. Davanian, the primary doctor we see. We were referred to complete a rigorous evaluation through UT Southwestern ER and return back for follow up to this office. After sharing all the medical reports of results to the office, Dr. Neel did not attempt to review the previous evaluations and was not prepared to provide any clarity or answers on next steps. He was very dismissive of our questions and concerns. He made assumptions about the root cause and said he could not answer any of our questions because he's just "stepping in". He casually said to see a hematologist without any context of the underlying results and records. We left having more questions than answers. It was one of the worst experiences with a professional doctor when it comes to bed side manners. He should not see patience if he is not willing to listen to their concerns and be thoroughly prepared to meet their needs.

After your care ends, he won't invite you for dinner, and you will not invite him, and most likely you will never see him again. He is the best at his specialty. If you are looking to be babied and loved, you will not find it here. It's a business, after all, and he is all business - he gets paid for what he does. If you want the BEST care for your eyes, you can do no

I got there early and was taken right away. The staff was great. I was surprised to see the doctor before testing and then again after testing. Dr. Neel was amazing! He took time with me and explained everything in language I could understand. I am so happy I found him!

This doctor may do good work but seems to be very moody. The doctor and staff are upbeat at times and very depressed at others, depending on the doctor's mood. He seems abrupt and callus with words both with patients and staff. Some of his staff seem afraid of him, and there is a big turnover. He talks down to people and gets angry when you ask questions.

I have been a patient of this doctor for two years. He has performed two glaucoma surgeries. I have always been treated in an exceptional way by Dr. Neelakantan. His staff is always pleasant, cheerful and very professional. He is highly respected by other area ophthalmologists. I highly recommend him for your eye care.

I was an emergency referral to Dr. Neel by another doctor due to some particularly severe conditions surrounding my Glaucoma.The afternoon I was sent to him he and his staff stayed far beyond business hours in order to monitor my condition and ensure that I was on a path toward a stable state. Even during the particularly stressful event he and his staff were very helpful in explaining what was going on, and their strategy for alleviating the dangerous conditions I was experiencing. Dr. Neel took a significant amount of time listening to my story, and sitting with me until I fully understood what I was facing. I can say with zero hesitation that Dr. Neel is the consummate professional with a bedside manner far beyond the standard, revealing that he truly cares about his patients.I would like to offer up my highest recommendations.

I am so glad I was referred to Dr. Neel. I was battling Glacoma for several years and was referred to Glacoma Associates of Texas. By chance I had my first appointment with Dr Neel and things have been better since. He is very professional, very caring, and I have full confidence in him and his staff. I can recommend Dr Neel without hesitation

When Dr.Neelakantan diagnosed my eye condition about five years ago,he told methat I have glaucoma.He explained to me what glaucoma is he said that its pressure in the eye, he had a computer in the room and showed me the difference between my right eye and my left.He started me on eye drops first.

I am so glad I was referred to this doctor! I appreciate the time he spent with me instead of rushing out like other known physicians. I have recommended him to my family and friends. I have seen many M.D's and his expertise and bedside manners and the way HE explains my condition was outstanding! HANDS DOWN, HE IS AMAZING!

Went for an initial visit to determine glaucoma procedure needed and will never return to him; he was the rudest doctor that we have ever encountered; his staff as well. He disregard my concern and questions for my procedure and acknowledged 3 interuptions during my visit and did not return to my question. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone! He truly does not care for his patients nor does he have the patience to understand the situation.
