Dr Gopinath put my wings back on for God. Thank you Dr. Gopinath. I patiently waited for surgery. Pain was unbelievable. But After surgery aug,17 2021. I feel like brand new chevy. I don't know about others, but I feel great now. Still a little sore around cut area but I'm fine..I still TAKE IT EASY though... I KNOW he works for God. And God loves him. Because God chose him to work on his faithful son. Michael
