Reviews
I had a fantastic experience with Dr Pulleda. She is incredibly thorough, professional, and took the time to listen to my complex history with both seizures and chronic migraines. After a difficult period following surgery, she provided a very clear, structured management plan and explained the titration of my new medication in a way that was easy to understand. What really stood out was her holistic approach—she didn't just look at one issue, but considered my overall health, including my recent surgery and even my work situation. She even went the extra mile by providing a letter for my employer to support my recovery. I feel much more confident and supported in my journey back to health. Highly recommended!
I had been struggling with persistent headaches for quite some time, and after visiting several doctors with no real improvement, I finally found Dr Puledda - and I am so glad I did. From the very first appointment, she took the time to truly listen to my symptoms and concerns, asked questions, and explained things in a way that made me feel informed and reassured. Thanks to her treatment plan and ongoing support, my headaches have significantly improved, and I feel like I have my life back.
I saw Dr Francesca Puledda at Northway Clinic for neurological pain in my legs. She took the time to listen to my concerns and carried out a thorough examination. I was referred promptly for an MRI and nerve conduction studies, which helped to identify the issue quickly. Dr Puledda followed up with me within a few days and provided a clear treatment plan. My symptoms have now resolved, and I am very satisfied with the care I received. I would recommend Dr Puledda to others looking for a careful and attentive neurologist.
