My... read more daughter Elaina has as close to a normal life she can have thanks to Dr Vela and her wonderful staff. I’ve always gotten call backs, advice and appointments in a very timely fashion.

Dr. Velayudam is such an amazing Doctor and genuinely a caring person. She takes time to listen to my concerns and works proactively and professionally as part of my... read more daughter’s medical journey. She treats my daughter her patient with dignity and respect. Not only does she take her time thoroughly examining her, but invests in her family. She has a nurturing, supportive and always educating demeanor. I have followed her from Tennessee to Georgia.

Normally I don’t post reviews on anything but Peach neurology well deserves this review. I was referred by my kiddos pediatrician to them and from the minute I called them... read more they have been nothing but nice. The receptionist kept in touch until the day of my appointment. The entire staff is awesome, the doctor is so carrying and thorough. The nurse always cheerful even when I talk to her on the phone, she is really nice and professional and I love how she made my son so comfortable at his visit. My son hates going to the Doctor and cries every time but she was patient with him and played with him until he was comfortable. And for that I will recommend Peach neurology to any parent who’s looking for a pediatrics neurologist.

My daughter suffered a concussion that has triggered chronic migraines and no one from the concussion doctor to the hospital could help her and then I found Peach Neurology (thank... read more goodness for Dr. Velayudam). My daughters migraines have went from daily to weekly. The reason I gave them four stars is that you can never get in contact with someone when you call in. Out of the eleven times I've called in the past and twice today I've only gotten through twice. Side note: they are good with returning your calls.

My son was diagnosed with epilepsy 12/2022. We originally had a neurologist assigned by the hospital. While they were nice, they were impossible to get a hold of and frankly... read more didn’t seem to care my son was still having multiple seizures a day. So I did my research and found Dr. Vela. To say she and her staff are a breath of fresh air is an understatement. They worked us in quickly and Dr Vela worked her magic to get the seizures under control. The whole staff are wonderful.

My daughter has tourettes syndrome. We went here with very disruptive motor and verbal tics. Since seeing the doctor here ( who is kind, thorough, and engaged), she has got... read more my daughter on a regimen of meds that tremendously helps with both kinds of tic. No longer do they disrupt her life! She still has occasional mild tics, but it is 99 percent better. I really trust this doctor! She knows what she's talking about!

Dr. Vela is wonderful! Both of my daughters were diagnosed by Dr. VELA and received treatment for Epilepsy for the past 3 years, and my daughters are always excited to... read more see her.

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Vela 3 years ago. She has been invaluable in getting the right medications and treatment for my daughter with complicated epilepsy. She's... read more extremely compassionate and listens to my concerns. She's even called me on the weekends when there's been an emergency to check on us and see how everything is going. She encouraged us to pursue brain surgery in at a children's hospital in another city because they have more expertise with my daughter's specific issues and it was one of the best things we have ever done. Very grateful to have Dr. Vela on our team. I've recommended her to friends who have also been extremely impressed with her.

She has really helped my daughter with her migraines. And watching for seizures. Clean office and the staff is amazingly kind. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am so grateful and want to express my admiration for the exceptional care and expertise Dr. Kohilavani has provided in helping our daughter gain control over her seizures. Our... read more journey began with a previous neurologist, Dr. Berenson from Panda Neurology, who wanted to leave us hopeless and discouraged. He dismissed our concerns and offered no viable solutions, suggesting we learn to live with it because this is what happens to kids with Autism. The medications he prescribed not only failed to alleviate our daughter's seizures but caused her to have more. Our experience took a remarkable turn when we someone suggested we go and see Dr. Kohilavani at PEACH Neurology. From the moment we walked into her office, we sensed a genuine care and dedication from the staff. She took the time to listen to our concerns and provided us with a wealth of information and guidance with this journey. I cannot thank Dr. Kohilavani and her staff enough for the positive difference they made in our daughter’s life. I often recommend her to parents seeking a neurologist. They sing her praises as well.

Wonderful, personable and knowledgable pediatric neurologist! I highly recommend her and the office staff to anyone who needs to see this specialty with your child.

My daughter and our family started this journey a little over two years ago. She was 11 and as far as we knew was perfectly healthy. She had... read more an over 10 minute seizure while in a trampoline park. Luckily, I am a pediatric occupational therapist and recognized the signs to seek immediate care. ER visit, to pediatrician visit, to referral to Dr Vela went quickly. As someone who knows how long it can take to get in with a neurologist, I was ecstatic that we were in within the week and were scheduled for testing in the next few weeks. All of the office staff were friendly from the very beginning. Dr Vela is so knowledgeable and caring to the patient but also the families she supports. Perhaps due to my job, I know a little more than other parents might and she goes through every test, result, and treatment plan in detail. Dr Vela formed a relationship with not only these nervous parents, but with my daughter. Dr Vela takes an interest in both my daughter's academics and sports. She also encourages her to take some responsibility in managing her medication and supplements. We have had regular visits for tests and appointments along the way. Scheduling is easy. When I need refills or information, I just leave a message and someone from the office always gets back to me or is happy to answer my questions. The best compliment I could give about this office besides how well they have walked beside us is when they did not cancel an EEG when a tech was out sick. One of the front desk workers set my daughter up with the electrodes and Dr Vela herself ran the test. I commented how this was unusual and they said they appreciate how hard it is to rearrange our days around appointments and they make every effort not to cancel. I am happy to say my daughter has been seizure free since starting medications and close monitoring from PEACH Neurology. We are currently exploring whether my daughter might be ready to wean from her medications. This entire office is extraordinary and we are so blessed to have this level of clinical expertise and professionalism in Gwinnett County. I have referred others to this practice and would not hesitate to do it again.

First time patient and although the wait was a little long for our kiddo, I was happy with the front desk, nurse and the doctor. Dr. Velayudam is very thorough... read more and I really appreciate the fact that she took the time to explain what was going on with our son. She really broke it down so that I could understand. The doctor was very personable with our kiddo and such a kind woman who genuinely cares and is passionate about her field. The tech who performed the EEG I'm a little iffy about as she was not so personable nor kid friendly. The jury is still out on the tech - perhaps she was having a bad day - still no excuse. But so far, I am happy with the choice of making Dr. Velayudam our new neurologist. I will share this experience with FB and my special needs parents.

This is the best neurologist I have ever come into contact with. Very patient,she educates me on how to handle my child anytime there's crisis, she is very thorough... read more with her examination, always interact with my son just to be sure he is doing well. Her staffs are very respectful p,welcoming and mostly friendly. Very neat environment with good smell. My son has really improved so far and I can recommend her to anyone.
