A Step Toward Healing

Understanding Brain AVM

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare, abnormal tangles of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins. They can disrupt normal blood flow and oxygen circulation, leading to serious health risks, including strokes and seizures

An AVM is very rare and affects less than one percent of the population.

“I’ve never met staff who are so caring,” she said. “Dr. Patel is so different from any other doctor I’ve met. He smiles whenever he sees me. He genuinely cares. At one point, he said to me, ‘I will treat you as a whole person. I know you’re a mother. I know you have kids.’”

“This was the first experience with a doctor that had felt genuine and like he truly cared and had sympathy for our situation.”

“I have had seven brain surgeries and yes, they are scary but I’ve come out the other side of all seven better than I went in.”

“I remember Dr. Patel asking my husband, ‘Is she looking to be healed or does she want to be treated? If she is looking to be healed, I am her doctor.’ And that’s what he did. He lived up to what he said and I’m so thankful.”

“Make sure you feel the feelings. I remember many times at the end of it, I would just start crying and Dr. Patel would say ‘Talia, if you’re not crying in front of me than we may a bigger problem here. This is heavy stuff, big stuff, real stuff. Let’s feel all those emotions so you can heal.’”
