Saw him for a three-month, brutal bout with whooping cough, and he ensured the conversation always came back to true CAUSE of the illness and other previous bouts of bronchitis, etc. - my asthma. I have never really looked to "treat" my asthma, instead dismissing and allowing it to instead become the underlying breeding ground for many of the other ailments I had contracted and suffered through. Now, Dr. Chanales has me on a lifetime treatment plan, and I am looking forward to - as he called it - "feeling even better than I did when I 'thought' I felt great." Five stars, for sure.

This idiot (doctor!)should not be allowed to practice and have his license revoked! I found out through reviews that I am not the first person he did a wrong diagnosis on. Dumb guy has no clue whatsoever and gave me wrong medicine for which I suffered for months. If my situation gets even worse and other doctors (unlike him) find out that his stupidity caused me any major issue to health, I WILL BE taking him court before he wrong diagnoses anyone else. Imagine a pregnant person or a kid going to him and suffer like this! He's out there to kill people not to treat people.

I have been a very happy patient of Dr. Ruani Gunawardane since 2009. Following a stroke in 2009,…read moreI was referred to "Dr. G" by my primary care physician, I was away in Florida when the stroke occurred, so I was amazed when Dr. G. assured me that she would find the cause of the stroke (I had doubts, after all, 8 days had passed already)! Dr. G. ordered a TEE test and determined the stroke was to to a PFO (a small bypass hole in my heart that had not closed since birth and allowed a small clot to enter my brain). Following her direction, I was sent to a surgeon who was able to close the PFO with a device, called an Amplatzer, in order to prevent a clot from causing another stroke. Since that time, I have had routine follow-up appointments to monitor my progress to recovery. Dr.G is very popular, but her time and advice has made my life to recovery very happy.

I chose this practice based on great reviews, which made my actual experience even more…read moredisappointing. I was a patient here for several weeks of neurological follow-up care and would not recommend this practice. Appointments felt rushed and impersonal, more like being moved through a checklist of tests than receiving actual medical review. It didn't feel like my records or imaging were reviewed closely before visits. On more than one occasion, I was told things about my results and condition that simply weren't accurate compared to what the actual reports showed -- whether that came from guessing, not reviewing the records, or something else, I can't say, but it wasn't reliable information. One report's clinical interpretation section was also left completely blank. Equipment issues added to the frustration -- testing machines broke down or malfunctioned during my visits, requiring restarts and delays without much explanation, which left me questioning the reliability of some of my results. If you ask questions or disagree with the assessment you're given, be prepared to be met with frustration and fear-based responses rather than an actual conversation. It didn't feel like I was allowed to think critically about or understand my own health -- it felt more like being dictated to than partnered with. Communication was frequently alarming and delivered without much nuance or context, which added unnecessary fear to an already difficult time, rather than the clear, evidence-based guidance I was hoping for. There was also a heavy presence of interns/students in and out of exam rooms, and the office itself felt disorganized and cluttered -- food left out in patient areas, unrelated promotional materials in the waiting area, and a general sense of a high-volume operation rather than a place built around careful, individualized care. Maybe this approach works for some patients, and if it does, I'm genuinely glad. But I've been fortunate to have excellent physicians throughout my life who actually cared, listened, and practiced in the spirit of the Hippocratic oath -- and this was not that. What I needed was a doctor who genuinely understood my situation and treated me with real care, not one who seemed to rely on fear to keep patients coming back. I ultimately sought a second opinion elsewhere and would encourage anyone considering this practice to do the same before committing to ongoing care here.

Doctor Afrooz was the first doctor who truly took my symptoms to heart and went out of her way to explore all possible causes.

The inflammation markers in my bloodwork have improved dramatically, my energy is double what it was before, and even my memory is getting back to where it used to be!
