Message from our Chairman

Riviera Institute of Neurology is committed to delivering world class care to our people at an affordable rate. We specialize in three key areas: Neurology, Epilepsy, and Sleep Medicine.

What sets us apart is the expertise and advanced training of our doctors. Our director, Prof. Dr. James Jose, is a highly respected figure in the Indian neurology community with over 35 years of experience. He is known for his exceptional ability to diagnose and treat complex neurological disorders. Physicians and neurologists across the state frequently refer challenging cases to him for a definitive opinion.

Dr. Joe James, a neurologist, and the only epileptologist in Kerala with an epilepsy fellowship from Cleveland Clinic, USA, one of the top hospitals in the United States, brings extensive experience in managing complex adult and pediatric neurology and epilepsy cases. He specializes in evaluating drug-resistant epilepsy for surgical intervention and is among the few epileptologists in India trained in stereoencephalography (SEEG).

Dr. Jinu Johnson is a sleep medicine specialist with a fellowship from Cleveland Clinic, USA, a distinction few in India hold, as sleep medicine fellowships are not available in India. She manages both adult and pediatric sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, CPAP titration and therapy, and insomnia, with a special focus on excessive daytime sleepiness and narcolepsy.

In addition, our institute is equipped with a state-of-the-art neurophysiology lab, featuring the latest technology for video EEG and polysomnography (sleep study). With our highly skilled team and advanced facilities, we aim to provide the highest standard of care to our community.
