Patients Reviews

My first visit with Dr. Rayhaun was very informative. He listened carefully to the cause of my injury and spent time explaining and confirming the struggle I have experienced since the incident happened. He listened attentively and offered suggestions to help. We went over the MRI and he carefully pointed out the source of my problem and offered a solution.

Dr. Sheri Palejwala RUINED my life. On 12/7/22 she performed surgery to remove a pituitary gland tumor. It has been 2 years since the surgery, and I am still not fully recovered, nor do I think I ever will be the same person that I was before the surgery. She left me PARTIALLY BLIND because she permanently damaged my optic nerve. She also caused BRAIN INJURY which has caused a multitude of health & mental problems. I have to take medicine for the rest of my life to control my pituitary functions. There is no medicine I can take to help me be the person I was before the surgery. I have not fully recovered - thanks to Dr. Sheri Palejwala's BOTCHED SURGERY. i can't ride my bike, play pickle ball, nor can I do any activities that require eyesight. I get extremely tired with day to day activities. I have had to cancel vacation/trips because it is difficult for me to participate in tours, which would be exhausting for me. I am unable to get the full grasp of life because of the brain damage created by this surgery. I cannot stress enough how much her botched surgery has ruined who I was.
