    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.

    Dr. G is truly the best doctor I have ever seen. She is incredibly compassionate, kind-hearted, and…read morecompletely dedicated to helping her patients. During my visit, she took extra time to review all my data, thoroughly evaluating my MRIs and EEGs to build a personalized treatment plan. She listened patiently to all my concerns and explained my complex test results clearly so I could understand them. She is a deeply knowledgeable, responsible, and caring neurologist who goes out of her way to solve her patients' problems. Her entire office is fantastic--scheduling is easy, appointments run right on time, and the front desk staff, nurses, and assistants are all very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. G and her practice to anyone looking for a top-tier neurologist!

    While I appreciate how quickly I was able to get an appointment in with this office, Dr. Ruwani…read moreGunawardane definitely gives off the vibes that she is solely there for the money, and doesn't truly care for her patients. I did appreciate the friendly staff, and all of the testing Dr. Ruwani Gunawardane ordered to be thorough, but that is about it. Dr. Ruwani Gunawardane forced me to go to a specific radiology office (Charter Radiology), which was a horrible experience, and far from home for me. I was also forced to go to a specific pharmacy by her, which she claimed would make the medicine cheaper than going to the pharmacy my insurance actually covers, but it ended up being $10 more. She overbooks then rushes through appointments to compensate for that. She talks really fast, then gets annoyed when you don't understand something that was said, which is odd, as with this being a neurologist office, you would think she would have more patience with patients experiencing issues like brain fog. She also did not seem to actually listen to what I, the patient, was saying. I had to repeat the points I was trying to make multiple times, because she was more worried about rushing me out of there than actually listening to my concerns, and therefore wasn't understanding what I was saying. Even during the physical evaluation, where she had me tandem walking, she was too busy looking at and talking to her associate to even watch, until I lost balance and fell. Many things se wrote in her visit notes were completely inaccurate from what I said, and even from what she said during the appointments. The patient portal is also extremely outdated, and they don't post your test results on there, like they claim they do. This place is definitely a money grab for her, as they will find any opportunity to make you pay fees, even for simple things every other doctors office does for free, like prior authorization or printing prescriptions. My final straw with this doctor was when I had a 12:00 noon telehealth appointment set for during my lunch break at work. I was given zero instruction on how to join this telehealth, so I called the office at 11:30am, and they informed me that usually they call to check you in, then the doctor calls when she is ready. They said that since I called, they would check me in then, but the doctor was running just a little behind, however, she would call me by 12:15pm. At 12:25pm, I still had not received a call from the doctor, and had to be back at work at 12:45pm. I called the office for an update, and their phones were off. So, I sent a message in the patient portal (screenshot provided), stating that if I did not receive a call from the doctor by 12:35, I will not be able to do the appointment, and requesting that they not charge me, as it was not my fault. I spent my entire lunch break sitting in my car waiting for a call that I never even received. At 12:47pm, after I had started back at work, I received a call from the receptionist, who asked about the message I sent in the portal. When I reiterated everything to the receptionist and said that I was back at work, and could not talk anymore so we would have to reschedule, Dr. Ruwani Gunawardane snatched the phone from the receptionist and started coming up with excuses about her staff being late this morning and some nonsense about phone issues. I told her that was fine, but either way, I do not have time for this at this moment. She then tried to do the appointment anyway, forcing me to reiterate that I am back at work and cannot talk anymore. I told her that if she truly needed me to do a follow up, that's fine, I'll call and reschedule later, but as for right now, please do not charge me any fees or anything, and please do not charge my insurance for this visit, as it didn't happen. She started talking about how she has to charge my insurance bc that's how it works, which is odd, because how can you charge for a visit that didn't happen? I have notified my insurance of the situation, so hopefully she does not attempt to charge them.
