I was happy that the doctor had knowledge of long hauler Covid. It is very difficult finding a doctor that knows how to deal with this. I walked out of the office feeling hopeful.

Verified patient
Dr Pishanidar is a world class neurologist and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for care. He was extremely caring, taking the time to see my father on short notice, reaching out to specialist doctors for follow-up treatment for him, and reaching out to me multiple times so that I can help coordinate my father’s care. Thank you Doc!!
Verified patient
Great experience, kind and friendly staff with little wait time and a thorough examination by Dr. Pishanidar who has great bedside manner and was able to help me identify issues that have been bothersome for years.
Verified patient
I’ve been going to Dr. P’s office for recent unforeseen medical problems and he is very knowledgeable about what I went through as I explained it to him. As of today (5/18/2022) I was seen by him and his staff and I will/would definitely go back. ????

Dr Pishanidar is knowledgeable and friendly.
Verified patient
Love this doctor and looks very caring
Verified patient
Dr. is great but staff especially at the front are clueless. They don't know what's going on or that the Zocdoc Appointment existed at first. Multiple calls and an email with no response from some staff. Miscommunication and they didn't know what different departments were doing.
Zocdoc need to coordinate to ensure that the office gets the registration forms. I had to write two autobiographies today. Office staff and doctor were great!
He was amazing. Made me feel so comfortable.
Verified patient
Dr is a good listener and didn’t rush me out.
Verified patient
Happy with doc,’s bedside manner.
Verified patient
A little bit of a factory feel to this place but i don't want to make an assessment based one my first visit. We'll see what the future holds
Verified patient
One of the first times I was seen at or near my appointment time. Doctor was thorough, patient, and voiced his thoughts as to potential diagnosis. Even had a procedure done in office just to rule out/in a differential diagnosis. I work in the medical field that's why this may seem like a "planted" review, i can sure you it is not.
Verified patient
I would say that Dr. Pishanidar was very concerned and listened to me about my concerns with my health. I will go back and he is now my new doctor.
My visit was great. Dr. Pishanidar and his staff are very professional and courteous. They really do take the time to listen to all your concerns and explain next steps and follow ups. The doctor and staff are very thorough. I highly recommend this medical practice.
Verified patient
Dr. Pishanidar was very attentive and listened patiently to all my concerns and then explained all next steps to me in a way that was easy for me to understand. He wasn’t at all dismissive or rushed like some doctors can be. I also had no wait time and was seen as soon as my forms were filled out. Overall great experience.
Dr. Sammy is a wonderful doctor, super intelligent and really listens with an empathetic ear (rare to find those two qualities in the same person). He's young and still building his practice, so if you have the opportunity to get him now I would really jump on it. I've seen doctors like this before and it doesn't take long before they stop seeing new patients. My only strike is the waiting room can be a little crazy depending on the day, I wish they could speed things up or at least build out a bigger space with more room to spread out, higher ceilings, and better ventilation. It feels a little cramped right now. But he's such an amazing doctor that it seems like a small price to pay.
I will definitely go back , doctor Sammy explain to me everything clearly , And the customer service with the staff there are Very nice, and helpful, Really liked,
Verified patient

I had a very pleasant visit with Dr. Pishanidar.
Dr. Pishanidar is the 3rd Dr. I have seen for my headaches. As they say, 3rd time's a charm. He really listened and recommended a plan that so far (6 weeks) is working! If I could give him 10 stars I would!
He was clearly very knowledgeable & willing to answer any / all questions I had. He was very patient in working on a treatment plan with me and I'll definitely be seeing him again.
It was pleasure talking to him, he was very helpful and caring and explaining in details all my concerns and options to consider and I would definetly recomend him to all my friends & family.
Wonderful!

Honest, open, and to the point. Attentive to my care! Thoroughly impressed with his assessment and concern for my father after his stroke.
Best neurologist in town! I was in the office to see him in less than 24 hours. He was able to evaluate me and get tests I needed faster than any other doctor I tried. Very friendly.
Dr. Sammy is one of the nicest doctors I encountered. Very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. After other doctors couldn't figure out my problem, he figured out my diagnosis and solved my problem. Best doctor, office and staff.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sammy. He was able to see me after I left the hospital immediately and was so kind and informative. I learned more in my short visit than I did during my entire hospital stay. He takes his time hearing what I had to say and what was bothering me and offered his genuine opinion. A real professional and a must see for any neurological conditions.
He was pleasant and easy to talk to. He thoroughly explained all my options and we came up with a treatment plan that works. Attentive and genuine. Truly cares about his patients. Goes out of his way and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend.
Excellent and caring doctor. He was able to see me quickly and clearly explain to me my condition, tests that should be done (Some of which can be done in the office), and medications to take. I would not go to any other neurologist other than Dr. Pishanidar.
