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 am very happy with Dr. Kalidas
I am a new patient for Dr. Kalidas. She is helping me with migraine headaches, stroke issues & nerve pain. She is a good listener & really wants to help me. I asked about a referral because my spine doctor cannot help me any further. She gave it to me right away & I have an appointment tomorrow, May 2, with the neurosurgeon’s office. Dr. Kalidas even let me keep my last appointment when I was 30 minutes late due to road construction. Thank you, Dr. Kalidas! You are a very nice doctor & I appreciate you!

Dr. Kalidas is the absolute Best.
There is no waiting, front desk gathers what they need quickly & efficiently. The atmosphere is calming, which is a huge plus for those who get nervous seeing physician’s.Dr. Kalidas is very kind, takes her time listening to me. Dr. Kalidas Medical Assistant is also great! The medical portal app is user friendly & Dr. Kalidas answers any & all messages extremely quickly. I’ve never had that added perk from any physician I was seeing.I was very worried finding a Neurologist when I moved back to Florida, I hit the jackpot finding Dr. Kalidas. If you’re looking for a Neurologist who checks all the boxes for your needs, Honestly, Dr. Kalidas & staff are EXACTLY who you need.

Amazing Doctor
I absolutely love Dr. Kalidas and I would highly recommend her as a neurologist to anyone. She's empathetic, she's highly knowledgeable and the best at b.o.t.o.x injections (quick, efficient and less painful than others I've experienced). This office is absolutely beautiful and creates a calm setting. 10 out of 10. There are honestly not enough words to explain how much she has helped the quality of my life! If you need a doctor that actually listens to you and looks to help you, Dr. Kalidas is the one.

Finally a doctor who listens!
Dr. Kalidas is amazing! I’ve been suffering from migraines for as long as I can remember but always felt like doctors were trying to medicate me and shove me out. Dr. Kalidas actually listens with compassion and takes the time to get to the root of the problem. I can never thank her enough!

If you want a Doctor who cares, She isn't the one
I have seen this doctor on 2 occasions and each time I have come out feeling like I got nothing accomplished. I have had 4 open heart surgeries and 2 heart transplants. I have daily migraines and severe headaches. I know my body better than anyone, but when I go to see a doctor I expect them to have at least read my chart. Not only did she not read my chart, but she had an attitude about all of my issues and the many things I had tried so far to combat the migraines. She prescribed new meds, one of which I had similar allergies to so my pharmacist wouldn't even fill it. Condescending, rude, and unprofessional don't even begin to cover it. She acts as if she knows all, and never listens to the patients. She had me come in for injections and although this was my first injection appointment she asked me how it was working so far, so again she never read the chart. The injections themselves were extremely painful and she said I was being "Too emotional." Worst doctor I have ever seen.
