I have high confidence in Dr Sebastians diagnosis of my (frequently understood) acquired condition of HSP/ MS and recent admission to hospital../ Her competence and sound recommendations contrasted greatly with that of my hospital appointed geriatrician

I’ve suffered migraines for over ten years now from the age of 15 onwards. I’ve tried everything under the sun to cure them, and hate living with the constant chronic pain. Dr. Swapna Sebastian has been a godsend, as her Botox treatment has been the ONLY treatment that has work and relieved me of consistent migraines. I can finally live a better life, I thank her for that and highly recommend her.

Dr Swapna Sebastion is much better than another Neurologist I visited a Pindara Hospital.

Saw Dr Sebastian after I didn’t get help with a previous neorlogist Dr. Meenakshi Raj. With all hopes of not giving up to see another specialist about my migraines because I can’t live like this, migraines are very disabling. She tried Botox treatment like Dr Raj, hopeing she would have a different technique to help my migraines. It just made me worse, so I called up her clinic and she said to go to hospital. And I regret doing that so much. I ended up getting a bad virus in hospital (must be heaps of germs in hospital ) that had to be treated as well as the migraines.

I am allergic to so many medications I don’t have much options, she got a pain speclist to come see me. I was skeptical of the treatments they reccomenddd to do, needles in my neck and epidural to help my migrans which is a huge treatment to have but I trusted her because I wanted to believe there was more help to improve my health.

Before I got the treatments done in hospital my mom came with bad news that my dog passed away, I was devastated and couldn’t stop crying so the nurses kept on telling the doctor that I was emotional when I was going through grief....So Dr. Sebastian for some reason got a phsycologist to come and see me. I didn’t know why, it was very awkward and he kept on asking about my sexual health which had nothing to do with my migrans ( little did he know what I have endometriosis) and I just had lost my dog...so this was all very cofusing to me, I am a feminist and I found it very degrading because it had nothing to do with migraines for I thought she was sending him to help me with breathing exercises or something like that to help deal with the pain..... I toled Dr. Sebastian that the phsycologist was innopropiate, she said she was just curious to see what he would say. I felt like I was being treated as nothing, as a female. Non of those questions was a random phsycologist buinesess. I was devastated. My parents tried to talk to her to ask why I was being treated like this.

I just wanted to go home but I didn’t want all this time spent for nothing, I thought might as well get the treatment done. I got two treatments done..a needle electric shock treatments in my neck and an epidural. I regret it, I was in so much pain after it. I have never had neck problems in my life just the migraines and now a year later I still have a bad and stiff neck that I have to do physio movements everyday to help it, I for sure have nerve damage in my neck now.

Dr. Sebastian wanted to put me on fyntenial pain relief patches, I was hesitent because I am allergic to so much but she was hesitant that I had to have this patch. When I got home I didn’t even continue to use it because I felt unsafe with it. Recently I saw on the news that fyntenal patches are the most dangerous drug you can be on, so I am happy I listened to my gut feeling and not her.


My parents asked her about the full thing and her response was that... she said it was an interesting experience for her on what to do with future patients, I was the first patient she tested this treatment on, I didn’t know that....I thought this was generally what people did to treat extreme migraines, I felt like I was a Guinypig.

I felt like me as a person got shut down... not only my migraine pain. A year later I never herd from her and I have a new problem which I didn’t have before seeing her which is a neck problem because of the needles they put in my neck, it caused nerve damage.

I hope me telling my experience helps someone else...if you have migraines please don’t see a nurologost. This is an extreme case on the worst possible thing that can happen to you and I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. No one deserves to be treated like this. I would rather live in horrible pain then to have all of this happen to me.

How you treat people matters, people’s pain matters. And when I think about the time I spent in hospital and how horrible and the disrespect I got treated.. it honestly brings me to tears.

We are extremely pleased with Dr Sebastian. You could not get a nicer person with a better bedside manner. My father has advanced Parkinson's Disease and she is by far the best Neurologist we have seen. She has a lovely manner with my father and we are extremely happy with her care, advice and treatment. Could not rate her high enough!

Terrible bedside manner. Brushed off questions rudely.
