Dr. Shiva Natarajan, MD

He talked down to me and was dismissive. He did no testing and suggested to do things I was already doing

I'm sure he is a very smart doctor and does well in the field. Unfortunately, my experience has been overall a negative one. I was talked down to. Not listened to. Told to do arbitrary things for my health that I was already doing. Didn't consider new factors that arose in other areas that impact my health in neurological ways. I'm not going to go to this doctor in the future but I will say your mileage may vary.

Dr. Natarajan really listens to your comments and concerns. He takes time with you and doesn’t make you feel rushed. His staff is an excellent source of support as well. I have a very high opinion of him and have been going to him for several years He works with my other providers so that the lines of communication between them Are also in my best interest. Be prepared, However, for long wait times or getting through to “live people “by phone. It’s obvious his practice is in high demand as well it should be.

Dr. Nat is my favorite clinician. I took my daughter to him at a young age and now I see him. He really cares about my pain with migraines and has treated me for about 10 years. I highly recommend him.

It took forever to get an appointment with Dr. Natarajan. When, I arrived he did not spend very much time talking about my test results. However, he did tell me that my B-12 was low and that I needed to get a B-12 shot. These results were from 4 months ago. Should his office not have called me if the low B-12 was noticed? As I was leaving the office I decided to get a copy of my blood test results. When I checked the results, it shows that my B-12 is high. Now, I have to research this after the insurance paying him the money to take care of me. That's disheartening.

Total wait time fair. Best neurologist in Memphis .

Very Professional. Highly recommend Memphis Neurology

If he can’t figure it out in a couple tests, he will tell you you’re just depressed and that your body will heal itself. No other physicians have agreed. Sorry- A sudden random onset of difficulty walking, talking, joint pain and processing information is not depression. Also he said that I had to make a choice to wake up every morning and just “not be depressed”. Sorry- not how that works Dr N. He also does not play well with other health care professionals and work with their recommendations. He is too busy to take time reviewing and solving patient issues. He is only clinic half the time. The other half he is in the hospitals. I wouldn’t choose him as part of my “care” team if I were you.

He has a poor bed side manner, which I can handle. However, his office schedules to many appointments so he is unable to take the time to listen to a patient. When a person is ill, they are u able to process at the speed that Dr N goes. He’s a neuro. He should realize that people with a neuro issue ate t going to be able to respond at the rate he want them to go. When my fiancé tried to answer for me, he very rudely told him to be quiet that I had to answer. All of which upset me even more. My fiancé had my PCP recommend a different neuro. It turned out that I had had a silent stroke that a MRI immediately showed, but hadn’t be apparent to him in the office. The second neuro immediately suspected that’s what had happened. If Dr N had slowed down enough to look at me as a patient, instead of a number, maybe he would have caught the signs like the second neuro did. I’m now on preventative care so I hopefully won’t have a major stroke. Thanks a lot Dr N.

WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH DOCTOR

Started seeing Dr. Natarajan for Chronic migraines around the beginning of 2018 and he has been Great. Dr. Natarajan and his office staff as well have been excellent. They go over to help you with any Insurance paper work or appointments you might need. I had an appointment with Dr. Natarajan this week and he took time with me to explain new treatments for my chronic migraines, medications and listen.

Dr. Natajaran was a complete waste of time and RUDE! I was referred from the ER to see this Neurologist and he absolutely had no clue about my case. I saw his Nurse Practitioner first but once he finally saw me he abruptly busted into the room and was completely clueless of my name and my neurological issue and case. He quickly did a neurological evaluation within a minute and instantly told me to go back to the ER. He could care less about me as a patient and did not cure or treat my illness.

While I trust in Dr. Natarajan, his facility is continually disappointing. Most visits included long wait times, most recently a 3 hour appointment, and the medical record policy is beyond outrageous. I requested lab work for results I just received and was told I would be charged $20 to receive a copy. Rather than incur that cost, I decided to have a copy sent to my primary care physician and was questioned on why my PCP needs the labs. This experience makes me reconsider using this facility.

Very Pleased with this office

very pleased

Great experience.

Dr. Natarajan has been my neurologist for several years now. He is straight forward and come across as rude sometimes, but he has so many patients and is always busy. He is wonderful at his job and has given me relief of my pain when no other doctor in the area could. His staff always calls me a few dyas before my appointment to remind me of my appointment. I love the staff there and have never had a problem.

Dr. Natarajan was direct, professional and listened to me while I explained my systems. I'm looking forward to working with him to solve my health issues.

Made 3 appts with this group. Which I had to take an entire day off work ~ lost money on the first 2 appts 1st appt.... I showed up and they said my appt was the day before. I wrote down and confirmed when making before I got off the phone. They would NOT work me in. Nor would they refill my prescription. 2nd appt... They cancelled in me and never attempted to tell me. Another's days pay lost. 3 rd appt.. I did forget. They called to tell me that I owe $50 for missing. r u kidding !!!

He was professional and made me well. No chit chat just ask where was I was having my problems and gave me botox where I needed the injections. And told me when to come back. NOW I NEED HIM AGAIN. AND I HOPE HE WILL DO THE SAME.!
