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.

I used to be a patient of Dr. Achari for about five years and loved her. However, everything changed when she opened her own practice/the pandemic. First, I found myself begging her for my migraine injections. She didn't want to treat me due to covid cases being high but they keep me out of the ER! Second, her new staff are awful! They improperly billed me, were rude, messed up appointments, completely lacked empathy, etc. I finally moved on to a new practice after being in tears every three months begging my doctor to treat me and then arguing with her staff because of issues with billing, etc. The new practice was negatively contributing to my migraines and no one seemed to care.

Deceptive Charges
I was willing to be a cash patient when she stopped taking insurance. We were told ZOOM charges would be $150 an appointment. When I was very sick she started charging me $500 per hour. This practice was not made clear to me until we'd racked up several thousand dollars in charges. Unfortunately, I was too sick to notice and it was paid. I'm very disappointed in her. Surely she is not THAT hard up for money.

When I started with Dr. Achari she accepted my insurance and my bill was reasonable. However, after my last visit I received a bill at full cost because she decided she will no longer accept my insurance. I was not happy with this, but paid it anyway because what could I do. When I tried to call and pay (because there is no online payment option) the office hours are only until 2pm Monday - Thursday, and until noon on Fridays, which is very inconvenient. As I voiced my frustration with the high bill last time I spoke with her office, I have now received notice of termination of doctor / patient relationship. She was a pleasant lady at the beginning but now I feel she is petty and a little full of herself as a private practice. My advice, find another doctor.

Dr. “Rita” Achari is by far the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She is truly one of the most kind and compassionate doctors on this world. She is a true expert in neurology and goes out of her way to ensure the best outcomes and treatments for her patients. After years of meeting with crude and disingenuous neurologists for my rare nerve disease, I finally found Dr. Rita and have never considered switching. Unfortunately due to my insurance, she is unable to provide me service at this time but as soon as that is fixed I will return. Dr. Achari is also very active in her community. She runs Farmer’s markets and teaches others how to eat healthy! Her attitude is one of an outstanding human being. I am proud to know her and be her patient

Dr. Achari treated my mom for Parkinsons. She tries natural remedies before she adds another med to the list. I so appreciated that. She was incredibly warm and welcomed even my toughest questions. I needed her advice on if it was time to stop treatment and move to hospice. I am forever thankful to God for her during a rough season

She is the most knowledgeable physician. When other doctors couldn't find the source of my pain they told me I was exaggerating or perhaps a hypochondriac. After 15 years of enduring pain she determined the cause! She is a blessing.

Dr. Achari is amazing! She is very thorough without ordering too many tests. She takes the time to get to know her patients and is interested in them as well as what is going on their lives. She treats the whole person, suggesting other diets to improve your health. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate her kindness and interest. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Achari saved my life. She worked with me until we found out what was wrong. I had a male doctor tell me my problem was menopause. It is complex partial seizures. Big difference. She is kind, takes her time, listen and really cares about her patients. Anita her office manager is awesome.
