Dr. Gourineni is a wonderful spirit, his professionalism, bedside manner and knowledge is superb. It was a pleasure to see him again, Dr. Gourineni did my son with extreme care and a firm
This was a six month follow up visit. Our first visit was great but I was disappointed this time. He walked in, looked at the X-ray, shared his findings and was done. Not once did he look at my daughter, the patient, until I asked him if he needed to check her for anything. Also in this appointment we received feedback that things go worse, I was hoping for a little more empathy or advice on what to do before we go to a brace.
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.
Dr Gourineni has taken wonderful care of my daughter since her accident back in September. I would recommend him to anyone I know.
Thank you so much
Dr. Gourineni is a great doctor and surgeon. We are lucky to have him as our doctor.
Very kind smart answered all my questions
Super nice and made my 10 year old feel less anxious. Great
