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.

Dr. Vijay Samuel, Is very compassionate, caring and an excellent listener, he always make you feel like you are important to him. I’m so grateful to have him as my Neurologist!

He diagnosed myself & my mother with Parkinson’s, after we spent a lot of money on meds, I changed neurologists & was given an eeg. Samuel misdiagnosed myself & then my mother was tested & she dosen’t have Parkinson’s either! Be careful he diagnoses things without even running any tests he’s not that good!!! And the hours you wait for your appt are out of line !! 3 hours to long!!!

While he listens and is very nice you will never get in at your scheduled time. Also I start receiving a "FINAL BILL" under a name I have not used for 28 years!!!! Ummm as my fax indicated show me when, where, signature of services.... go ahead send it to collections because I will sue for mental stress of them coming after me for something I don't owe.

Dr Samuel is among the most caring and kind physicians I have ever met. An acute listener, compassionate, and gives you all the time you need to have your questions answered. A rare gem indeed. Anyone would be fortunate to be his patient.

I have been seeing him for over 10 years for rare nerve conditions. He is the only one who figured out what was going on. He answered all of my questions. Yes, I had to wait for him, but it was worth the wait. He is compassionate and open minded. He supposed me when I found alternative solutions, and now I am meds free and off disability. Thank you, Dr. Samuel, I could not have done it without your help.

Dr. Samuel is a very good Dr, takes the time to listen to any concern/symptom you have and does a thorough job of explaining what he thinks is happening and the recommended treatment or treatment options. Unfortunately because he is willing to spend the time with every patient you will likely end up waiting a while to see him, frustrating but in the end I'd say worth it. The front desk person is rude and lazy unfortunately.

It was horrible. Office ladies are very rude. We arrived 20 minutes before our appointment and we are still waiting and it's 3 hours after our appointment time and the office ladies are being completely nasty because we are upset over the wait time. The ladies were also sitting back behind the glass talking crap about patients. I can not believe this place.

Creates more problems than you actually have. He is narrow minded, and is in constant mind phuck mode to push meds down your throat. Is fixated on things that have nothing to do with your CURRENT SITUATION. If you don't agree with his recommendations, then he tries to reword every question into getting you to agree with what HE THINKS, NOT WHAT YOU THINK OR FEEL. Even though if he asks you a question, and you tell him NO, he doesn't take NO FOR AN ANSWER.

Dr. Samuel is someone who, after going to him in a panic, I would recommend to anyone with the utmost confidence. He is very knowledgable, skilled in both listening and explaining, and all around is a compassionate individual with a calming demeanor. It's very rare that doctors spend so much time with individual patients, answering all their questions and concerns, but Dr. Samuel had no problem doing so on every visit. The information and peace of mind he gave me was invaluable.
