Dr. Vakani approaches my care in a holistic manner, paying attention to all of my medical and personal issues. I am in need of a body lift after losing 130 pounds. I am suffering every day with the excess skin complicating my neurological disorders as well as my disabling pulmonary diseases and psychological disorders. Whereas the surgeon's office is failing, Dr. Vakani stepped in to help me any way he could so that I receive the complete care that I need to ensure my ability to stop the constant pain and awful skin infections and sores, as well as stopping the complications the excess skin is causing by pulling on my head, neck, back, hips, etc. I suffer from chronic and seasonal Cluster headaches. I need my body at 100% so I can physically withstand the most painful medical condition known. I am terrified by another sweaty summer. Dr. Vakani gives me hope and he stands by me in my decision to not allow the plastic surgeon to do the Reconstructive surgery if he is going to leave me butchered and incomplete.

Dr. Vakani is truly exceptional. Never has a provider made me feel more safe, cared for, heard, respected, and valued. His genuine compassion, constant pursuit of excellence, commitment to helping in every way possible, incredible knowledge, beyond perfect bedside manner, and sheer loveliness make him a dream to work with. He has been a true blessing in my life and I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done. It is such an inedible comfort knowing that I have a neurologist who doesn't just care about the result of treatment, but also strives to make sure that the process of healing is smooth, comforting, and as pain-free as possible. He consistently goes above and beyond for me, while managing an incredibly busy and intense schedule, and I appreciate it so much. He is by far the best doctor I have ever had the privilege of receiving care from.

Dr. Vakani is one of few doctors I've met who treated me with respect in terms of assuming competence on my part as a reliable narrator of my experience & a partner in care. Usually doctors see a woman of colour with a history of mental illness & immediately discount my symptoms as psychogenic. Dr. Vakani did a thorough patient history interview. & earned my trust by not immediately trying to diagnose without knowing full story. He promised to spend time reading my medical records after the appointment before formulating a plan of action. I appreciate the thoughtful, thorough & above all respectful care I received from Dr. Vakani.

This visit felt different to me - in the past he had felt more patient, explaining things in detail and listening more closely to what I was saying. During this appointment however, it felt rushed. I don't feel that he was listening to what I had to say, but was rather trying to check things off of a checklist or complete a form. In the after notes, he listed things we did not discuss and with directions that I did not agree to do. He also said he would send me additional information following the appointment but what he sent he had already given to me after the first visit. It felt very mis attuned.
