Gopi Kasturi's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Kasturi and his office couldn't even get MRI approved due to multiple mistakes and upon trying to discuss the fact that I was getting no help he told me to find another doctor and walked out

I have medium to severe sciatica due to bulging discs and degenerative discs. I waited two hours for this doctor and when he finally arrived he was dressed casually like he just stopped in for a bit during his day off. He never made eye contact, he disregarded the list of medications I brought with me, and just stared at the computer the whole visit. I don’t remember being asked any questions about my needs, my concerns or pain. I asked him if I would be a candidate for a spine injection. He said no because he didn’t feel that I would be happy with the outcome because I was heavy and it wouldn’t work the way I hoped. And that was it; he stood to go, shook my hand and said he hoped he hadn’t hurt my feelings and left without offering any substitutions or options. I went to another doctor, got the injection and I’m greatly improved. I’m really glad now that he didn’t treat me & I went on to find the other doctor who knew what to do and did it.

Yes, the Dr helped relieve my back pain. But, I will never ever visit him again. I don't understand how a dr can be so rude, talk down to patients and demean them for asking questions. I was threatened with procedure cancellation for trying to ask about a procedure I did not have before. He told me I was disrespectful to ask him questions and referenced a plane capt. And would I ask him how to fly the plane: just wow. Don't expect any time to ask questions during an appt either. 3-4 min and he's done with you. I know we all have busy schedules but if you sit on a pedestal and think you are better than all and don't respect your patients needs or concerns then you deserve this low rating and are on my do not recommend list.

The front-desk referred me to Gobi Kasturi, MD. On my office visit day, I waited 1.5 hours in the waiting room before being seen. During the office visit, Kasturi, MD explained that I had nerve problem coming from spine, and that I also needed SI joint injections. He said I would have a spinal nerve block and SI injections. He did not explain either procedure. He said that on the day of the procedure, he does not speak to patients because he does "40 a day". On the day of the procedure, I checked in. I was called back to the back within 15 minutes. The nurse asked what procedures I was having. I explained spinal nerve block and SI joint injections. She said that wasn't what was on the sheet. She showed me that he put in for SI joint injections and hip injections. She asked if I wanted to speak to him. I said yes. She walked to the nurse's station, which is feet away from where I was sitting. She said that I didn't want the hip injections (I didn't say that; rather, I said that I was told I was having a spinal nerve block and SI injection and asked why I was having a hip injection) and that she knew what would happen if he spoke to me. She also confirmed that he only had 4 procedures that day. She returned and said that if he talked to me, he would cancel the procedure. I was able to get the SI joint injections that day. However, I was left feeling that his failure to communicate the exact procedures during our office visit and his refusal to speak to patients on the day of the procedure was somehow my fault. When I shared this with the nurse, she said, "I know, we don't like it either (the fact that he refuses to speak to patients)." I spoke to his office manager about his lack of professionalism. I do not recommend this provider. I strongly suggest that if you see him, you ask many questions during the office visit. If he does not provide you with adequate responses, I recommend you see a different provider.

Great service and everyone is so nice. Very professional and accommodating every step of the way. Love this doctor and his staff!🙏❤️

SPOC has always helped me out with my health problems. A great full service group of Doctors.

Staff is always friendly. I’m always seen in a timely manner. My appointments are usually quick, but any questions I have are always answered to my level of understanding

Waited for over an hour in his exam room before he I saw him. Once he finally comes in the room he spends no more than 5 minutes with me telling me how my back isn’t in “harmony” and then walked out without answering any of my questions. His bed side manor was horrible. Waste of my time.

Chronic Pain is often difficult to control, and can be daunting when searching for a provider. Dr Kasturi is professional, compassionate and very educating from the first appointment. I never feel rushed or hushed. I have had steroid injections in my back and neck as well as trigger point injections. He also recommended physical therapy. I must admit that I was unimpressed with the referral until I arrived at SPOC PT. The process has been handled with precise continuity. For the first time I feel the left hand KNOWS what the right hand is doing. Having my care in one spot is a gift. Not to mention that I’ve finally received some pain relief! This commendation doesn’t just apply to dr and Jenna in PT. Kayla, the MA who assists dr, is an excellent rep for her field and the dr. Sometimes we forget the support staff. Shout out to the office staff for their punctuality, knowledge and genuine interest when checking in and out! CHEERS DARLING!

I have been a patient of Dr Kasturi for almost 3 years. Excellent Dr in my opinion. I have received 5 rounds of injections and every procedure has been easy and fairly painless. The staff at summit surgical are the nicest people and very professional.
