“I am grateful that Dr. Gungor was referred to me. From the first moment of meeting him I felt at ease because he took his time to ask the right questions, to listen, to evaluate and provide sound recommendations. He transcribed the information accurately in my chart which told me was really listening. Nothing got lost in translation. He won my confidence. He has an excellent administrative staff in Eladia and Lillian who are timely, prompt and professional. A pleasure to work with. My experience at HSS with Dr. Gungor and the team who took care of me was a model of dignified care from the first moment of entering the unit until I left. Dr. Gungor's expertise during the procedure and his nurse Maricris Anic were really a star team against the backdrop of beautiful Latin music! I don't know every name but Gina and Deborah and everyone who touched my care including Jordan the nurse who called me the next day makes this a ten star experience.”

“Where do I begin? After finding Dr. Gungor, your search will have ended. I have never met a more compassionate, caring, knowledgeable doctor for pain management. My journey with Dr. Gungor began in 2013 when I had a pain that wrapped around from my back, on my side to my abdomen. I was misdiagnosed by numerous doctors for about 3 months. Dr. Gungor realized it was an "intercostal nerve" that was causing my pain. I had an RFD (Radio-Frequency Denervation) and the pain has NEVER returned. I have been treated by Dr. Gungor since then for different nerve pain, back pain and neck pain from a spine surgery I had in 2010. His experience as an Anesthesiologist before he decided to focus mainly on pain management, is legendary. One of the levels of my spine surgery did not fuse, but Dr. Gungor has kept me more than manageable with some neck and nerve pain instead of me agreeing to have another surgery about 2 years after the first one. Dr. Gungor walks you through every option and procedure and literally holds your hand and makes sure you are comfortable before and during any procedure I have with him, and it has been many from RFD's, epidurals, facet joint injections and trigger injections. Dr. Gungor's expertise is extraordinary and his bedside manner is off the charts, even to the point of him remembering everything I tell him about my family. He always asks how they are doing as well. I'm happy that one of the other doctors at HSS in the pain management department sent me to Dr. Gungor. I am grateful to have Dr. Gungor guiding me on a pain-free journey!!”
