Meghna Kumar-Pelayo, MD - St. Petersburg (FL)

5 /5 Rachael Parkison: After years of being treated by military physicians and dreading interactions with doctors, I had the best medical experience of my life with Dr. Kumar-Pelayo. She spent at least 30 mins in the room, asking me a series of questions about my medical past, social history, and current symptoms - not based off a checklist, but sitting face to face with her computer closed, paying attention. She is very thorough and a clear communicator, on top of having a stellar bedside manner. Her expertise was clearly displayed, but she was able to explain everything in a manner that made it easy to understand the next steps we were taking and why. I simply cannot say enough good things to explain how positive my experience was with Dr. Kumar-Pelayo. If you have to see a neurologist for any reason, she should absolutely be your first call.

5 /5 Mark McCann: My experience with Dr Kumar-Pulayo & her staff was extraordinarily good. Her office was friendly & efficient, remembering my request to be considered for early appointment in the event of a cancellation and getting me in early for treatment. Dr Kumar-Pulayo took a great deal of time with me, answering all of my questions in detail, with clear explanations of my condition. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Ariane Davis: Dr. Meghna Kumar-Pelayo has helped change my life by telling me the truth, that I didn’t want to hear, and by listening carefully and giving me 10/10 medical guidance on conditions that I never would have considered. I had a “stroke” in August which we now think was never a stroke but a bad migraine. Bloodwork and imaging showed nothing but it was very clear I had stroke-like symptoms. I continued to have these episodes and had to dismiss a doctor for wanting to send me to the ER again and not listening to me knowing I wasn’t having a stroke. I had migraines with postpartum preeclampsia that were severe and debilitating so I never considered that they could be the cause of the health issues that I’ve experienced lately that are bringing down my quality of life but not severely. I also consider being on the verge of death as severe so it can be difficult to communicate symptoms at times which is why I love Dr. Kumar-Pelayo because many times doctors think Im over-exaggerating when I really underestimate because there’s no real guidance on a scale of severity. Thank you! This medication is life changing and I’d give you a kiss on the mouth if I could but that would be weird!

5 /5 Dot Querry: Dr. Kumar-Pelayo is an excellent, caring doctor who couples that excellence and caring with high efficiency. I met Dr. Kumar with a health concern a couple of earlier doctors didnt identify. Efficiency was shown with having a prescription at the pharmacy to be picked up that very night. Also, there was a call from another very effieient team member to schedule my imaging appointment. Im so lucky to have Dr. Kumar-Pelayo and her support peple as a very important part of my health care team.
