She’s a great Doctor, my daughter been to four different doctors before I found Dr. Jayakody and no one was able to help with her seizures. She put my daughter on a medication that was able to help. She is a kind and compassionate Doctor that loves what she does and it shows. I’m so grateful that we have her as a neurologist.

Our family is truly grateful for Dr. Jayakody. Our 11 year old daughter began having headaches that were beginning to effect her everyday life/activities. The headaches were leaving her in tears daily. Dr. J listened to our concerns as a family. Asked my daughter very specific questions to help evaluate her condition. Our daughter has been seeing Dr. J since January 2024. My daughter has had ONLY 1 headache since being placed on the medication by Dr. J. The 1 headache was nothing severe so grateful. We are truly thankful for a DR who cares, listens and doesn’t rush you out the door. I wish we could clone Dr. Jayakody.
