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.

One Star
Very rude and disorganized staff. Have no consideration for the patients. Doctor was condescending and insensitive.

Dr. Vajira Gunawardane was recommended to me by several in my health club as a name synonymous with successful diagnosis and treatment of spinal issues. I have found this to be true and wholeheartedly recommend him. He is up to date on the latest treatments for relief of back pain.

Dr Vajira Gunawardane is an absolutely excellent physician! I've been his patient for 11 years and I credit him with changing my life. When I met him I was wheel chair bound, but with his procedures I am able to enjoy un-aided mobility and freedom from pain. I am so proud to know him and so very glad he is MY physician.

I was experiencing severe lower back pain due to spine misalignment and severe decaying disc disease. The Dr Performed an RFA procedure on me between 6 and 10 years ago and I've been pain-free ever since. outstanding diagnosis and remedy. I hardly recommend him to anyone who is a candidate.
