Dr. Soma Sahai-Srivastava, MD

Regret ever getting “care” from this doctor. Caused more harm than good.

helpful and caring. have seen other doctors for migraines. none that knew as much

Just like the other comments talks down to you and is extremely rude.. I tried to give her a chance with a few appts and each visit was worse.

I went to see her for my recurring headaches. Even before she saw me , her Fellow had already diagnosed my headache - not exactly why I went to consult her. I told both the Fellow and Dr Srivastava that I drink unusually large amount of water and have low blood sodium level but that was not sufficient clue for them and they prescribed me oxygen in addition to mega dozes of magnesium , B6 etc, as well as anti convulsion drugs despite my telling them that as an old man I get severe side effects from such. They promised that USC physical therapy will contact me and an invitation to join portal will be sent - none of that happened. I stopped the megadoses of Mg and B vitamins after a few days due to side effects like drinking even more water and increase in headaches as a result. I did not even try anti Convulsion drugs after consulting my GP for fear of side effects. They took a cookie cutter approach and missed the point that low sodium is the most probable cause of headaches in… elderly. I am soon going to be seeing a functional medicine doctor who will , hopefully, correct the low sodium rather than treating symptoms by prescribing heavy duty drugs that cause more problems than solve , especially in older people.

Went to this Doctor several times. Each time the after visit summary didn't match our conversations. She wasn't any help. I would not trust Her opinion

Likes to talk but does not listen. Talks down to you and is irritated when you press her to help you. Would not recommend.
