    I went to Dr. Vijay Katukuri, MD on the recommendation of my neurologist. She sends all of her…read morepatients seeking relief without the use of narcotics (which make me sick and I don't like). After several visits, Dr. Katakuri thought I would be a good candidate for an epidural. None of my other doctors suggested this but I decided to try it and I am glad I did. My pain went from excruciating to tolerable and it lasts for about 3 months. Chronic pain was depressing me so this has helped me in more ways than one! Also, the staff is really nice and professional and they have a new state-of-the-art facility located off I-95 TIP: Even if you have seen other doctors and didn't get results - this doctor might offer new ways of finding you relief.

I only expected this to be a standard first visit, but I found some immediate relief for most of my pain almost immediately (even if only for a couple of hours). We repeated the procedure on my second visit and same results so it was on to the next step. On the day of my procedure, the insurer had failed to authorize the rfa ablation and I had to cancel the procedure. After a tug of war with insurer, and trying to get them to approve the procedure in time for a 12/23/24 date, it was still too late and the office was scheduled to be closed on 12/24/2024. After the end of business on 12/23/2024, the office called me that they had approval for the procedure and instead of waiting to the third date that was set for on 01/09/2025, the doctor opened his office on the 24th to do my procedure. What else is there to say, from closed to open for me? I am so grateful. This should be 7 stars!!!

    My experience working at Dr. Giordano's office was ultimately disappointing and concerning. At…read morefirst, the environment appeared welcoming and organized, particularly during the time when Jordan Cappella Lawlis was present. However, over time, I observed a number of workplace issues that made the environment toxic and unsustainable for long-term employment. It's important to note that although Florida is an 'at-will' employment state, this company requires new hires to sign an arbitration agreement during onboarding, which effectively waives your right to bring certain legal claims--such as workplace retaliation, intimidation, or discrimination--before a jury. In hindsight, this should have been a red flag. The treatment I experienced and witnessed from management, particularly involving Maddison, and Nicole reflects a workplace culture where employee rights are NOT respected. If you are considering employment here, I strongly recommend consulting with a labor or employment attorney before signing any documents, as the onboarding process includes clauses that may limit your ability to seek legal recourse if issues arise. THIS IS EXTREMLY IMPORTANT! DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY! WITH THAT BEING SAID - There appears to be a pattern of favoritism within the leadership structure, particularly involving Nicole Farace, Maddison Gaede, Heather Warwick, and Dr. Giordano himself. These individuals have close personal relationships that seem to influence managerial decisions and staff treatment. THERE IS NO FORMAL HR DEPARTMENT, and as a result, many staff concerns go unaddressed or are dismissed entirely. Conflict resolution is minimal, and certain team members, particularly Nicole and Maddison, are OFTEN at the center of WORKPLACE DRAMA rather than resolving it. The environment lacks professionalism and objectivity, which has contributed to HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER (do your own research as you will) . Allegations and interpersonal conflicts are sometimes weaponized, and I witnessed multiple situations where individuals were terminated under QUESTIONABLE circumstances--especially when they voiced concerns or did not align socially with management. Additionally, I observed behavior that raised serious concerns regarding inclusivity and fairness. Employees from underrepresented backgrounds, including Black staff members, were disproportionately affected by these dynamics. Comments and actions that suggested bias were neither addressed nor acknowledged by management, further contributing to a hostile work culture. This office may work for those seeking short-term employment or limited engagement, but I would not recommend it for professionals looking for growth, support, or a healthy work environment. STRUCTURAL ISSUES WITHIN MANAGEMENT AND A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY MAKE LONG-TERM SUCCESS HERE DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE ESTABLISHED INNER CIRCLE. If I were to rate this company using the standard 1-to-5-star scale, my experience here wouldn't even warrant a 1-star rating. Within the 3 months of my experience,this is exactly what I endored, the workplace culture at this company raises serious concerns regarding inclusivity and racial equity. While Black employees are hired, there appears to be a pattern of differential treatment that suggests the diversity may be more performative than genuinely supported. I personally observed that Black staff were often not given the same opportunities for respect, growth, or conflict resolution. Additionally, with individuals in leadership Nicole (Team Lead) Being Best Friends with Jordan(Office Manager) Heather (office manager) and Dr Giordano (owner) very close - they go to strip clubs together - and Maddison (had sexual relations with Dr Giordano Cousin) created a challenging environment for those who did not conform to their personal dynamics, often leading to tension and isolation
