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.

Bad BAD BAD DOCTOR – Mar 27, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gunadeva?
inpatient and irresponsible
My experience with Dr. G was more than disappointing. I was fairly new to her clinic and went in for a sick visit to ask for some medical advices. She appeared impatient, interrupted me when I was just starting to explain my conditions. Without taking any form of exam, I was sent out with a referral, in less than five minutes. I have never had such a bad experience with any of my past PCPs over the years. She seemed to think talking to patient is a waste of her time - time that I paid for - which to be frank is quite irresponsible.

Less than 1 star would be appropriate.
After dealing with a progressively worsening shoulder injury I made a last minute appointment to see any doctor who could fit me in. When Doctor Gunadeva enters the room the first thing she does is try to belittle me because I missed a physical appointment with my primary doctor the year before. After some incoherent rambling she randomly mentions that she’s not sure if I have diabetes, which was completely out of left field, and proceeded to half listen to my issues. On top of her being rude her English is not her strong suit making communication quite difficult and me leaving confused and wondering if she understood any of my problems. This really sucked because it was a complete 180 from my normal primary health care Doctor I usually see there. I’ve never written a review like this but this appointment rubbed me the wrong way.

She is rude
If she’s unsure of an issue, she just prescribes antibiotics…even when it is not standard protocol. I discovered thru my endocrinologist that I should simply have had an ultrasound for swelling in my neck that turned out to be thyroid nodules. The strong antibiotics she prescribed resulted in a horrible case of medication induced gerd.

She cares
Even though I've changed my insurance 4 times in the last 15 years , I've always used Dr G as my primary care physician because she cares about her patients. I don't understand the negative reviews on this site at all as I've been in that office 40 plus times and have never had a bad experience. I would highly recommend both Dr G and her staff.

A Dr. that listens and actually cares, yes please!
I've read some of these older negative reviews and I can't for the life of me understand how these people had such a negative experience. I was treated with such kindness and compassion from Dr. G. and her entire staff. She took her time in the exam room and listened to every concern I had. After talking through my concerns, I specifically remember her asking me what else is going on, to be sure that we discussed everything. She 100% cares for her patients, she listens intently, and wants to help people. I'm not sure how anyone could ask for a better doctor than someone with these qualities and natural character traits. I really believe that she must be misunderstood by some likely because she is so passionate and is a natural nurturer. I can tell you from my experience that Dr. Gunadeva really cares about her patients. If there were 6 stars I would have given that rating. I'm blessed to have found Dr. G. and this practice, and you will be too. Be well.

Very thorough, helpful and professional.
I don’t have insurance and she take the time out to source the best care for me at an affordable cost. I got all my examinations done at affordable cost and it is just because of her help. She is very detail in her work which I really appreciate.

I visited on July 7, 2021. I needed to have ear wax flushed out of my ears because I could only hear out of one ear. She examined them and LIED to me by saying I had no ear wax clogging my ears. I went to another clinic the next day and they told me both were full and needed to be flushed. I have had this procedure many times. The reason she lied to me is because it was free for me to receive the treatment because I am a USMC veteran and the clinic wasn't going to make any money. I still have the script paper she gave me as proof I visited. DO NOT VISIT HER CLINIC!

Reviews are spot on. Go somewhere else. She does not listen to you at all and become very upset when you mention that you are not being heard. She needs to retire or have her licence to practice revoked.
