Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Our baby boy was born at arrowhead hospital and I looked in my insurance coverage for Dr. Gunawardene and he was in-network. He didn’t visit the new born baby that day and when I asked nurses they said he forgot to visit and they sent some of his assistants. Next day he just came and looked casually and gave us the discharge. After a month they sent claim to my insurance and it was billed as out-network. Still working with them claim. Arrowhead hospital need to take care of this.

My daughter was born at Arrowhead Hospital in 2/2015. I'm assuming Dr. Gunawardene was a doctor that was on staff because I have no idea who he is. The doctor never submitted a claim to the insurance company and never sent me a bill. Almost 4 years later (11/2018) I received a notice from a collection agency for a $650.86 balance due. The doctor waited over 3 years to send it to collection agency and now it's too late for insurance to pay it. This is absolutely unacceptable.

I have no experience with this Doctor other than he was the Dr. on Staff at Arrowhead hospital who allowed the Pediatrix company to come in pretending to work for the hospital to give my son a non covered hearing test. $200 for a newborn hearing screening. Unnecessary. Deplorable.
