His work uses both clinical research techniques as well as advanced neuroimaging analyses to address this question. In addition, Dr. Sheth leads an effort to identify blood-based biomarkers that could improve our ability to diagnose stroke at its very onset.

Always a wonderful experience. Dr. Sheth and his staff is the very best

EXCELLENT!!!
I'm gaining more and more trust in this physician and hope to continue with him. He listens and offers his opinion on how to proceed. Thank you, very much appreciated.
I made an error in answering the first question, it should have been four, and Dr. Sheth was more than helpful in trying to resolve my problem. I thank him for taking the time to talk to me. Thank you.
Everyone in the office, from the receptionist to the Dr is patient, kind, professional and very knowledgeable of my condition and treatment.
Dr Sheth is a good consulting physician. He is outstanding in his area. I trust his judgment and value his counsel.
Dr. Sheth saved my life. He is exceptional in his field-a real physician. I would never let anyone else in my head but him. I was fortunate to find him. And, the staff in his office are equally kind and competent. I am grateful for the care I have received.
[..]Dr. Sheth is also really good about sending messages through the portal to let me know what the results of my labs were, et cetera. He definitely has a very good bedtime manner. I would recommend anybody to go see Dr. Sheth.
Good experience
Everyone was very nice and made me feel comfortable
Everyone was friendly and welcoming to their office. Dr Sheth was very friendly and explained my diagnosis and future treatment to me very clearly. He took his time to explain everything to me
Our health care provider on the 17th, he informed us of procedures that we had not been told about that were way less invasive and would work so much better for my wife. I'm really grateful that we get to talk to him and visit him and I would like to go back and talk to him again. He's a wonderful man. Thank you.
Dr. Sheth and his staff are very professional. Dr. Sheth is always there to listen and has so much compassion. He is such a great doctor, and we cannot be more pleased
I was very impressed with all of the staff and the doctor. They were very polite, friendly, helpful, courteous, and professional. I will definitely refer friends and family in need of neurological assistance to them.
I was late getting there due to the address being wrong on the website which made me a little anxious, but all was ok and the staff was very friendly and understanding. After I was finished with my visit and walked out I remembered another question to ask and he came back out and answered it no problem. Not many doctors do that so thank you.
I had one of the most helpful visits with Dr. Sheth than I have had with anyone since I was diagnosed. He understands what I mean when I try to explain new symptoms, etc. He has all the qualities that makes a great doctor great.
He is very polite, attentive and seems to care
Dr. Sheth and team are excellent, and we are very thankful for them .
Dr. Sheth is one of the finest physicians I have ever been with.
He explained himself very well most of all he listened
Even though I was not scheduled for another appointment, I would recommend Dr SHeth, and have his information in case of more questions in the future.
