Dr. Sankar is an excellent Neurologist and I credit him for giving my wife a new healthy life by diagnosing her condition perfectly. He is methodical, caring, and talks to the patient is frank and clear terms so the patient has all the options explained. I would recommend him to anyone who needs neurological advice. In addition his staff is excellent.
