Suresh Chitturi's Online Review Report Card

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 19. I am now 31. My first neurologist had me on Depakote ER 750mg daily. I was on it for 10 years. I came off of it almost 3 years ago and had been seizure free until June 26th. I was driving and ended up having a grand mal seizure. Once I came to the EMS was there. They got me into the ambulance and I ended up having yet another seizure and was unconscious for 3 hours. Apparently they had given me Ativan aka benzodiazepine to help with the second seizure. I had no idea I was given this BY THE WAY. So the ER referred me to Suresh. I needed in ASAP because I just had two of the worst seizures I had ever had and had to take a leave of absence at work and they needed a doctor to fill out paperwork for my leave. Just FYI I work at Amazon. So I get to the appointment. I was in the waiting room for maybe 10-15 mins. I was like wow that’s fast! I get into the room and maybe 5 mins later Suresh comes in. He spent maybe 5 minutes with me. He was quick and short with me and my boyfriend. Any questions we had he had a short answer. He gave me a steroid pack for my head because I had severe headaches from the seizures. He checked my reflexes and said see you in 2 months. He did order an EEG which I will gladly do because he isn’t even going to be giving it. I mentioned CBD oil and he cuts me off and said that all research between epilepsy and CBD is false!!! THIS DOCTOR IS A JOKE! Don’t waste your time or money. When I mentioned my paperwork he was not willing to fill any of it out or help me with my LOA or restrictions for work. So I made an appointment with my PCP and got better results than an actual “neurologist”! I’m sorry but he shouldn’t be allowed to even be a doctor. He spends little time with his patients and just doesn’t care. OHHHHH he also wanted to say I was on Valium aka the Ativan the EMS gave me. I will never step foot in his office ever again!
