Dr. Cherian was an absolute Blessing. He listened to what we had to say and went step by step through my medical history to get a picture of what was going on with my medical condition. He was able to do some different types of test that other Doctors didn't do and was able to figure out where my dizziness/vertigo was coming from. He explained the procedure I needed to have done and he believed it would help my conditions. We are very thankful that we were given an appointment to Dr. Cherian he was a God send.

Dr. Cherion was very knowledgeable and asked many questions that other physicians had not when trying to treat my imbalance symptoms. His assessment did not come out the same as some of the other physicians, but his recommendation to continue my PT exercises even when symptoms don't present was good.

Dr. Cherian is extremely professional, but also very personable. I have never felt like a number when meeting with me. He has went to great strides to know me as a person, and understand my condition. He has taken the time to get a clear picture of my overall health, and has factored this into my treatment. I can unequivocaly say that Dr. Cherian has not only CURED my condition, but in turn has saved my career as an airline pilot. The impact that he has had on my quality of life for the positive is immeasurable. While I know that he is too humble and professional to accept anything in return, I can truly say that I feel indebted to him for all he has done for me, and in turn my family. I feel blessed to have him in my life, and quite frankly consider him more than just my doctor, but a true friend. He never gave up on trying to find a solution for me, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Dr. Cherian seems to be well respected by his peers. He lacked warmth and communication skills. I will continue on with him if that's what his plans are only because he is well respected by his peers. His interactions with me were minimal and his "go to" medical explanation for my symptoms, repeatedly, was an airplane flying and losing the power of one engine. I'm not an airplane nor pilot so his explanation was difficult to follow. I had many questions but his patience for communication with me was minimal at best. I have NO idea for what he has planned for treatment at this point. I also have not heard anything from the practitioner Dr Cherian referred my case to for local evaluation. I'm so confused.
