Dr Mehta was kind, attentive, so very obviously smart, prescribed testing and meds right away and made me feel and end to my neurological symptoms and fears (strokes in my family) would soon be addressed or behind me
November 21, 2025Richard V.Verified patient
I was told to see a neurologist from my ENT due to chronic headaches and migraines and the first appointment I could find anywhere was months out. Zocdoc found me this appointment within a week and Dr. Mehta was nothing but professional and caring. She took my concerns seriously and is helping me take the next steps to figuring everything out. What would have taken typically months is taking days/weeks.

Nice friendly office. Not much of a wait time at all. Dr Anita Mehta spoke clearly and listened to our concerns with care. The only negative was a not so nice smell when you walked into the office.
