Dr. Punithavathy Vijayakumar, MD

Who has the time to wait an hour to see the doctor? I would recommend another neurologist unless you have time to sit in a small room and wait an hour.

Worst neurologist (and doctor) I've ever seen. Came in with various neurological issues that have arisen over the past several months, and ordered several MRIs and blood tests for me. She was very nice and I thought highly of my first visit with her. I then left and got the appropriate tests over the next week. Meanwhile, the symptoms I had definitely worsened and became borderline unbearable. At the follow-up, Dr. Vijayakumar told me that the scans were negative that I "should not come back unless new symptoms appear" even though I told her my current symptoms were getting worse. She just told me take some vitamins and sent me on my way! Her staff refused to even give me any neurologist referrals on my way out. Then, her office called me a week later, saying that Dr. Vijayakumar "missed" a test she said I previously I didn't need, and lied about speaking with my primary care physician. I later found out that she did not order 7 blood tests that she should have ordered as well and… neglected to perform numerous other diagnostic tests. I'm glad I'm getting much better care elsewhere. TLDR: Incompetent receptionists and a negligent neurologist who stops caring about you after the first visit. Dr. V is awful at both diagnostics and treatment, though she may seem nice/friendly. Would give zero stars if I could.

Dr. Punitha Vijayakumar truly impressed me when I saw her a few times for some of the health issues that I had for over 6 years. I was very satisfied and appreciate her thoroughness and dedication to me. I recommend her to others as it is hard to find a good and experienced neurologist around. I like Dr. Vijayakumar for her experience and compassion.

Dr. Vijayakumar is one of the most caring, experienced, and smart physicians I have seen. She is very thorough and gets the diagnosis right. More than anything else, she listens and tries to understand my problem, unlike other places where I have been to with a fast-food experience. This is important for me to get my prescription right. I was lucky to have her services and I do recognize some wait time, but it is all worth it as I did not have to live with the issue that bothered me for a very long time. I recommend her for others and plan your visit with some flexibility so that you can spend the right amount of time with the Physician.

Don’t waste your time . They expect you to make sure you give plenty of notice if you need to reschedule but when I book my appointment 8 months out and get a call 2 days prior and took a half a day off I hear giggling on the phone like it’s funny! And then I ask about my topamax medication and I’m told if I don’t come in right away I can’t get refills! First of all my appointment was booked for 8 months why didn’t you call me sooner to reschedule ? I have planned meetings all week it’s not always just as easy as changing days . And since you simply don’t care and this is your fault you change your times and locations or whatever you did again for the second time I’ll just switch to someone who wants a patient . It’s not funny !

Dr. Vijayakumar is the most thorough doctor I have ever seen. I came to her with sever general undiagnosed random complaints that I felt other doctors had dismissed and had either labeled me as a pill seeker or hypochondriac. I was miserable for several years and was even starting to doubt myself, wondering if my pain and general weird multiple symptoms were just all in my head. After listening to me, running some tests (just a few labs, an MRI and a spinal tap) we now know that I have Multiple Sclerosis. I can never thank her enough. Her staff Stephanie was also amazing helping me get medication paid for through my insurance and taking my calls. The wait time is worth it! A+

Dr Vijayakumar is an excellent Neurologist she brilliant , got excellent bedside manners , listens too what I got too say and really listens too me , doesn't rush me to get me out of the room for the next paitent like I'm a piece of meat or cattle as I call it and she explores every avanue with you too help you and doesn't give up , and has atleast some sort of answer for you even if she can't give you the full answer right away tells you what she think it could be until results are in !! , she is super nice as well and like I said in the beginning very smart as well

This is one of the most caring doctors I have. I recommend her every time I get the chance.

Dr. P. Vijayakumar is possibly the most intelligent and most caring doctor I have ever had the good fortune of visiting. I feel that I owe this doctor so much more than what my insurance will pay her, because she spent about 30 minutes reviewing my test results, asking me questions, and thinking through the notes I have written. Dr. Punitha Vijayakumar is a rare combination of pure intellect, great integrity, and a real wonderful human being.
