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.

More pain now
I had partial knee replacement in 2022. The pain has gotten worse over time.

One of the Best, Knowledgeable & Skilled surgeon
Staff was easy to work with and very helpful. He is very, very busy, but when they found out how bad and painful my shoulder was, I was brought in asap. My shoulder was so torn up inside from 3 previous surgeries from the past, Dr. Guru got me in on his schedule, however I still had to wait close to a month because he had a large number of patients already scheduled. But he gave me some Rx and a wonder injection, LOL and it brought my pain down to a 1 or 2 instead of a 10. He operated on my shoulder on Oct. 31st. Halloween. He had to perform a Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement. I had an accident about 2 years ago with pain, I had gone to another Dr., but he said the Mencius was torn a little and would heal up. However, the pain got worse, and went to Dr. Guru. He performed a MRI and discovered the Mencius was torn so badly it was causing bone on bone and since it came from an accident, he could perform a robotic partial knee replacement. I'm walking 9 miles now at times.

From the first visit, Dr. Guru was pleasant and professional. He listened, and he cared--I liked and trusted him immediately! His demeanor was always so courteous and caring. He did not let me down, giving me a new "lease on life" in the form of a new "hip"; after years of pain and a terribly deformed gait, I am now able to walk upright without any pain. Thank you, Dr. Guru. You and your team are wonderful! I highly recommend him and his staff without reservations!

Dr. Guru is extraordinary as a physician and individual; very sweet, caring and honest. He has operated on me several times (I am like Humpty Dumpty) and unlike "all the king's horses....." Dr. Guru has put me back together. A stellar review is not enough for this gentleman. A star names after him is more appropriate! deb white, mt. dora.fl
