Spent less than 5 minutes in the room with us, hardly looked at my child. It was very obvious we were just one of many patients for the day. Would not recommend for orthopedic needs.
Dr. GOURINENI is always professional and will give us the information we need to hear good or bad!!!! And a very pleasant personality 5 stars for him... even during our daughter's surgery.
Wonderful bedside manner. Very patient and thorough.
