Patient Reviews
Mar 16, 2024
Dr Gurskis cared for my mother in 1992. She was suffering from severe osteoporosis with multiple fractures: would break a rib with a cough. He consulted and got her pain controled well for over two years until her death. He saw her at Long Beach Memorial and set up a treatment plan that we took to her long term nursing home in Reno, Nevada. She had a good life even with her pain and I believe his assessment and care plan extended her life for over a year! She was able see her many students that she had taught for six decades and her friends as well. I recently had an urgent spinal surgery and he consulted in my post operative pain management. He still is one of the best and takes a sincere interest in managing your pain. It has been almost 22 years and he is the top of his field. I recommend him absolutely!
