Patient Comments
Dr. Poukas is outstanding. Very helpful and understanding to my circumstances both past and present. Shows a willingness to work with me for the betterment of my overall health not just my epilepsy, which speaks to her caring nature.
Valeriya has been such good help never had one issue with her she is definitely the best doctor I have when looking out for my best interest
Professional.
Everyone was fine too me.
Dr. Poukus was very thorough and knowledgeable.She eased my concerns because I was transitioning from my former neurologist of many years, but she made me feel very comfortable immediately. I'm now certain I made the right decision choosing her and staying with Temple.
