I’ve been to many physicians but Dr. Kuruvilla is the best neurologist that I’ve been to. She has a very kind bedside manner and always takes the time to listen!
My headaches are gone! I used to have horrible migraines that interfered with my work and time with kids but Dr. Kuruvilla’s injections really helped me get back on my feet.
Dr. Kuruvilla was very compassionate and spent a lot of time with me during our visit. She answered all my questions and highlighted a treatment plan I was comfortable with. I have referred my cousins to her who also suffer from headaches. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
