If I could give Dr. Vilivalam six stars, I would! I have been seeing Dr. Vilivalam for a while and he is one of the best doctor I've seen. He always takes the time to understand the issue and diagnose accurately and/or provide recommendations. He and his team are warm, welcoming, and helpful. It's also very convenient that I can schedule video visits on his website, and the process is extremely easy. Highly recommend!
