Dr. Guru is awesome. The surgery was great and follow up was even better. Shinu, his Assistant is incredible. They had to cut my incision over a tattoo and took the time to sew it back up so it would heal like new!

Dr. Guru is a very compassionate and caring physcian. He has always gone above and beyond to make sure I fully understood everything and always checked up on me after my surgeries to make sure everything was going okay. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic dr. He is the best by far.

Dr. Guru is a fantastic surgeon! He diagnosed me within thirty seconds with a torn meniscus. A follow-up MRI revealed that his diagnosis was spot on!!! He performed an outpatient surgery on my left knee, and within six weeks my knee was like new! He is an excellent surgeon who also has a great bedside manner! I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone experiencing knee pain! Thank you, Dr. Guru, for giving me my life back!
