Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Chivukula has been very good with my son, who is his patient, and my husband and me. We have seen him 3 times over the past year and he has always been very professional, courteous, caring, and attentive of my sons special needs. He has asked our input on my sons condition, listened to what we have to say, and explained anything he thought might need to change. He has been very helpful and answered any questions we have asked him. We would recommend him to anyone needing a neurologist!

I had a nerve conductivity test performed. It was very easy to get in and get the tests performed with very little wait. The staff was super friendly, and Dr. Chivukula spent a good amount of time with me, and I felt that the level of care was really excellent.

My sister sees this P.O.S. for her seizure disorder. My mom made an appointment for my sister to be seen due to severe short term memory loss that was not getting any better. This P.O.S. told my mom that he would do an E.E.G., but that it would come back normal and that this was just a behavior issue. Long story short, finally got an MRI and my sister has a golf sized tumor in her brain! Someone needs to take this POS's medical license away! DO NOT USE HIM!

He never answers the phone. We live in Ga and sometimes have emergencies where we need him and he is never available.

He was more intrestested in leaving than he was in answering the questions I had about my medication. That is after I recommend the seizure medication I had researched. Very rood and disrespectful!
