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.

Aneurysm Surgery
Almost 24 years ago Dr. Gunel performed a life saving brain surgery on my Mother and I thank him very much for everything he did. Her aneurysm had ruptured, he was very thorough explaining the procedure to me and my family. We will be forever grateful to him and his team.

Dr. Gunel made some very serious mistakes during my brain aneurysm surgery, and he did not even seem to realize it. Two doctors I followed up with, at NYU Langone and Columbia Presbyterian, could not believe it when they saw my scans post-surgery. Each one said I "would die within months" if my surgery was not re-done. A very scary time and low point in my life (as I had young children) until my aneurysm was repaired in a second surgery. Extremely disturbing that Dr. Gunel is practicing.

Dr. Gunel saved my life. Diagnosed with a brain abscess on the cerebral spinal fluid sac, I was in a life-threatening situation. With his expertise and skill and those he chose to assist with my care and surgery, I had the best outcome ever! It is has been almost 3 years and I am grateful to him to this day . He truly cares about his patients and their families.
