Dr. Gornish is caring and knowledgeable. He spends time talking with you about everything and following up. He saved my life with a radical mastectomy and lymph node removal. He will follow me for life to continue to monitor me. Any questions he is happy to answer. I would recommend him to anyone needing surgery.

Dr Parker said to call the office with any problems. Dr Gornish was on call and was rude and nasty. No manners.

Several years ago Dr Gornish saved my life. The surgery took 7 hours. Afterward I was in the hospital for several weeks during which I could not have asked for a more concerned and gentle doctor. Several months later he performed another surgery on me and the same was true. He is a fantastic physician with a caring gentle style. He is much in demand but spent as much time with me as I needed.
