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.

Knowledgeable and Through
Dr. Mahe is a very knowledgeable and through doctor. i appreciate his ability to explain things and provide a process that is simple and easy to follow. His assistance in treating my sleep apnea, along with pre-existing conditions, is a chunk of heaviness off my shoulders.

Would not listen or underdtand why I was there
Dr would not stip and listen to the purpose of my visit, said he changed the PCPs orders because he thought it best, doesnt understand how bad sleep apnea can be or feel but tried ro empathize with a ridiculous story of being hazed once in college, would not listen when I explained I cannot sleep without a cpap as in cannot ever start tonkie down.

Dr. Murali was amazing when it came to my obstructive sleep apnea issues. He took it very personally, I feel, to make things happen to eliminate my symptoms. He expedited my referrals and follow up appointment. He listened to all of my concerns and made positive suggestions to help me out. I recommend this very intelligent and compassionate neurologist to everyone. Thank you so much for all you did for me Doctor.

Dr. Maheswaran is a wonderful doctor, my husband, Doug went to him and he listened to all that he need to tell him. Dr. Maheswaran then asked other questions and discussed what needed to be done. Doug needed a different kind of sleep study and that is what he got. Dr. Mahewsaran is a caring and professional doctor. He will tell you what you need to hear which may be different from what you want to hear. He is excellent and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Maheswaran has given me excellent care in both identifying and remedying my sleep apnea condition. He is professional and clearly knows his field of medicine very well. He has been very helpful to me and has made a huge improvement in my health. My only regret is not seeking help sooner.

I don't know what the lower reviews are talking about, if you have the option of seeing Dr. Mahe, by all means do it. He does an amazing job of explaining complex conditions in a way that you can understand and really takes his time to make sure to answer any questions you have. Sleep is so important and together with Dr. Mahe you can find the answers to why you aren't getting the sleep you desperately need. Dont believe the low reviews, he is the best in the business and I'm a tough critic!
