Care philosophy

My philosophy for patient care is really working together with patients as a team. We address what our goals for care will be and figure out a way to reach them together. Every patient is different, so every care plan can look different—and that’s how it should be.

First time visiting. Staff was pleasant and accommodating.

Dr Zaveri went above and beyond in her treatment of me. When she discovered that I was being treated for a neurological condition that I don't have and not being treated for one that she believed I do have, she contacted my neurologist's office to try and get me in asap to see a Dr, as opposed to a nurse practitioner, who could diagnose the issue. Theis was 2 weeks after my stroke and 5 days after 1st spike headache landed me in the emergency room, where I was also told that I needed to see a neurologist right away, to no avail, sadly.
