When I arrived in Dr. Gungor’s office in October 2023 I had unrelenting sharp lower back and bilateral leg pain. With an upcoming trip I needed a short term pain relief plan so I can enjoy my trip with ease and without interruption. I knew a longer term pain management plan was needed. After a thorough evaluation and review of my films on day 1, Dr. Gungor provided in detail the short and long term plan and assured me that my pain would be managed in time for my trip. This is exactly what he did and this photograph spells RELIEF! I moved through my Riviera Maya family trip with ease and comfort. Dr. Gungor is an exceptional, smart and caring physician. He is very gentle in his approach and he does not rush you. As I continue my pain management journey I know I am in good hands. My experience with him, his admin team Eliada and Lillian and all the staff in the Special Procedures Unit are the best of the best.
