Patient Reviews
Jan 06, 2023
My son who is now 15 has been a patient of Dr. Gunas since he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at age 3. We trust him emphatically, and he has given us the best advice and healthcare we could wish for, and our son is thriving. if you’re looking for somebody with extensive knowledge, a bedside manner, and the ability to hear the patient side look no further!
