Dr. Devi has been treating my mom for six weeks and the changes are remarkable. She assured me that "I would get my mother back a little everday" and after two strokes and the onset of dementia,my mom is responding sucessfully to a drug called Chlozapine.

Dr. Devi is caring,experienced and quite devoted to her patients. She never gives up, there is always another alternative or solution to the problem. She has a gift for pleasing both the patient and the caregiver.

I was so impressed when she assured both me and my mom that future hospitalizations would be out of the question, she comes to the home along with her nurse to treat her patients.

My mother's condition always deteriated rapidly when she was confined to hospitals and nursing homes. Dr. Devi is an amazing neurologist and psychiatrist. There should be more doctors like her, what else can I say she is a true "Specialist"and I highly recomend her!
