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.

Superb neurologist!
I had a stroke in September of this year and Dr. Rad was recommended to me by my G.P. and I'm so glad he did! She's FANTASTIC! She's a non-nonsense, incredibly intelligent doctor and took time to answer all my questions and explain the answers in 'layman's language.' She even made a personal phone call to a terrific cardiologist to get him to see me the same week I saw her! Otherwise I would have had to wait weeks. She gets back to me with any test results right away and I feel I'm in 'caring hands' whenever I've seen her. I can' recommend her highly enough!

I will never recommend her,
She has no social skills . Does not relate to patients. No emotions very robotics. She shows no concern about patient,there are only two people running the practice no medical staff it’s only her and at the reception some family member. They did some test on my husband never showed us any of the results.just said they are normal.very unco operative.

knowledgeable, conscientious physician
Dr Rad is a knowledgeable, conscientious physician, who really cares about patient well being. I appreciate all her help and deligence. She diagnosed my parent with a terminal neurological disease after we saw few doctors. She was always compassionate, helpful and accessible through his end of life care. God bless you Dr Rad.

Horrific Experience
She was very rude and had attitude during the examination. She just wanted me to take several tests all through her practice to make money. Once I realized this and told her I would be not be coming in for the remainder of the recommended tests, she threatened me and said she'll forward all my bills to a collection agency. Keep in mind this was all the while I was extremely sick and didn't have full mental clarity. Talk about a scary movie manifested to real life. I was lucky to have found a new doctor that immediately was able to recognize what was going on and got me onto making a full recovery.

Dr. Rad is the best!
Dr. Rad was the third neurologist I visited for symptoms I was experiencing. Previous doctors patted me on the head and said I was fine (zero diagnostics ordered). Dr. Rad listened to me, took an extensive history, ordered testing, prescribed medications based on test results, and follows me closely. She is gentle, kind, responsive and brilliant. Highly recommend her!

I was referred to Dr. Rad by a Physician I highly regard and whose past referrals have been excellent. Her referral to Dr. Rad was consistent with her past referrals in terms of of high quality. Dr. Rad doesn't tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you need to know. To some that may appear lacking in empathy, but she demonstrates a concern for delivering the best care that can be provided. Dr. Rad even referred me to another Physician when my symptoms suggested a "look" by a specialist but I will continue to see her as my primary neurologist. Office staff support is just fine as well.

Without a doubt I would recommend Dr. Rad. Her office runs efficiently and we felt very comfortable with the health and safety measures she has in place. In the exam room she listened to my concerns, and carefully considered what I had to share, and included my input in her assessment. Her explanations and directions were very clear. I would gladly have anyone I know under her care.

I have been Dr Rad's patient for some time. She diagnosed my condition which is a rare neurological disorder. She is thorough, nice, efficient and responsive physician who cares about my well being. She is very flexible and always accommodates me if I have new concerns or issues. The office is clean, with no or short waiting time.

Below is my experience with Dr. Rad. Keep in mind these all happened while I was very sick, vulnerable and cognitive abilities were poor. I was lucky to find another Neurologist soon after that quickly diagnosed me and put me in a path to recover and get back to full health. -No empathy or care -Terrible Bedside Manners. Cut me off and never let me fully explain what I was going through -Had me complete a written test then rushed me out to take a bunch of tests -Neve explained anything or even the logistics of how to get my tests done -Never followed up, I had to always reach out -Threatened to hand over my medical bill to collections once I told her I was not going to see her anymore I am not one to write reviews, but I truly fear for future patients livelihood after my horrific experience and felt obligated to share this where it can be seen. Please avoid Dr. Rad if you truly care for your life and want the best care.

I do not recommend Dr. Rad. Her bedside manner is very unfriendly and made me feel uncomfortable. I went to her because I was referred to her by my primary doctor. I wish I had never seen her. I had a possible seizure, so I had to see a neurologist and my driver's license was automatically suspended for 6 months. When I went back to see her after 6 months, she cleared me medically and said I was safe to drive, but still recommended a driving test. That makes NO sense!! So, now I am still stuck with no license and I can't get a driving test because they are not making appointments for them right now. They also rarely answer the phone. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

Dr. Rad is an outstanding neurologist. She is very insightful and with a keen interest in her patients' wellbeing. I have referred several patients and a family member to Dr. Rad for a neurological evaluation and management and have been very impressed with the comprehensiveness of her care. Her expertise and clinical judgment are exceptional.

Dr. Rad has made a significant difference in my Mother’s well-being and our lives. She is resourceful and ordered much needed services. She is professional and gives compassionate care. She is friendly with a good demeanor. Mother has advance Dementia. Dr. Rad engages and interacts with her, and shows that Mother is important to her as a person. She looks at Mother with an expression of admiration and kind smile. Dr. Rad helps with comfort and convenience, i.e., suggests calling and talking to her when needed instead of coming into the office since it is hard getting Mother in to see her. I am amazed and quite pleased with her care of my Mother. She is excellent and we are grateful. I highly recommend her. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give her a 10. (10-14-2019)
