Dr. Vijay Shanmugam, MD

Always been a great neuro for me. Not many choices in the AV, but I ended up looking for another doc awhile back and he's been great. Takes the time if I have specific questions to go through them with me. Short waits. Great office.

I'm shocked reading some of these reviews. I've been a patient for about 7 years for ongoing neurological issues and find Dr. Shanmugam competent and respectful. From a personality perspective, he's not the warmest doctor, but I've never found him rude. I enjoy our visits and I've never had an issue getting medication refills. I just make sure I communicate my desires openly with him and listen respectfully to him. He is, after all, the medial professional.

Probably one of the worst neurologist I’ve ever seen, he’s rude and you don’t accept the answer he has given you and ask for more test to be done he blames whatever symptoms you have on stress and anxiety!! When I went into his office I was referred to him by 2 different hospitals and my primary care for symptoms of MS but since my MRI of the brain was clear he blew me off and told me it was all phycological ,I’ve never in my life hear of gait or trouble swallowing,vision issues, amoung other symptoms being due to to psychological issues !!!! I’ve never had psychological issues in my life! Thanks for the “help” “DR”

Probably one of the worst doctors Ive had. He usually spends about 1 or 2 minutes total with me. Other patients he will spend 10 min with. His only response to my issues "you had a brain injury", so he doesn't bother to help since that is his diagnosis. Memory issues, "well they don't make a memory pill" I'm stuck with him due to my insurance, but If you can avoid do so.

I was greeted in a clean and comfortable waiting room by two friendly and professional receptionists. I was seen very promptly by the doctor, who promised to read my entire (extensive) history of documents before my next appointment. The Dr. spent the time it took to listen to me and take care of my needs, and was knowledgeable and helpful.

Dr. Shanmugam is more understanding than most doctors I have seen and most of all practical. He listened to my concerns and tailored treatment to my lifestyle very well. His staff is prompt with phone calls and are always nice and helpful. My prescriptions are ALWAYS on time after about 2 years of going every single month.

Had an appointment earlier today with Dr shanmugam. I found him very professional and thorough. I waited less than 10 minutes and found his staff caring and helpful.

The office staff treated me better than this doctor. Sent by referral due to surgery complications. The man was negative during my visit. I should have walked out. Continued to out talk me and my husband. No wonder Care 1st dropped him. Very arrogant and non helpful. So sad.

This Dr is super inconsiderate. He let me keep my appointment to see him, only to tell me that he no longer accepts my insurance (care 1st) very unprofessional. He has had me waiting and giving me the run around on authorization for meds. for 3 months. So dissapointed and angry with Dr Shanmugam!

Didn't even talk with him about anything. Had an MRI done and he didn't even take out the xrays to discuss the results. I think he could have taken care of me better then that. He basically just shoved me out the door. Didn't even discuss the Medicine he prescribed me and what its even for. Hopefully he will call me back and do a better job. I'm starting to look for a different Dr.
