  • Dr Cikurel was a breath of fresh air. Her neurological knowledge is outstanding but her empathy sets her apart. I felt she genuinely understood. I have tried 7 medications and felt judged by other consultants so was relieved to feel understood and she clearly looked familiar with my journey. She spotted conflicting medications and created a clear hopeful plan. I felt truly cared for and finally hopeful.

  • Dr Cikuriel has been such a great support for me following my meningioma excision. Throughout every consultation I have had with her she has listened patiently and with empathy and has expedited medication to suit my needs. Each consultation has been punctual and through a zoom call because of the distance I live. She has made each a personable experience and it has been effectively like a one to one in a consultation room. She is such a friendly Doctor who has given me immense support!
