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.

I fell very comfortable visiting Dr. Pulikan.

Dodged a bullet
He flaked last minute on not just one but two appointments his staff scheduled me for me to see him. Instead of an apology, he suggested I 'wait it out' to see him, with the only appointment I was offered being weeks later. When I declined, DMr. Pulikal's attitude immediately changed and he advised me to contact his attorney instead of hearing my complaints about his staff's negligence. After I requested contact information for the attorney, which he refused to provide, he threatened me with harassment charges without any grounds whatsoever and just moments after offering me another appointment. This was my only direct communication with this doctor and lasted all of 2 minutes.

Excellent treatment and staff!
I cannot recommend Dr. Pulikal and his team enough. It is rare to find a team that cares as much as these people do about the outcome of their patients. Truly a treasure of a clinic.

Dr. Pulikal is very Professional & is Excellent at reading MRI's. He was able to see my problem in my lower back when others weren't able too. He recommended the proper treatment for my back. I highly recommend Dr. Pulikal as an Excellent Doctor.

May have waited later than appt., but that is because he doesnt push you through on a time table. He takes his time to explain and answer questions. Very friendly and caring. He gave us options of care. If one dont work will will go to #2, if that dont work then #3.

I will be honest with you my 1st visit I didn't know what to think but my husband was in there with me and he really liked him so my husband ask if I would give him another chance. I did and I'm glad I did cause he does care about me and he listens to me and I listen to him. I think he has went above and beyond to try and find out if I was on the right medicines for my fibromyalgia.

Experience with Dr. Pulakil was much like other review. Doctor was not well informed about treatments or medications. Would not listen to me, was argumentative, and was not knowledgable about chronic pain conditions. Would not recommend anyone go to seek treatment from anyone in this pain clinic, ever.

This dr needs to go back to medical school. He said topical medications are not absorbed into the blood stream. This is not true. I can't use the topical medication prescribed by this dr as it interacts with other medicines I take
