Patient Reviews
Apr 11, 2024
My husband asked me to write this review. He had symptoms that other doctors could not diagnose and would not take the time to investigate. Other doctors wouldn't even allow him to make an appointment. Then he got an appointment with Dr. Gunawardane and life has greatly improved for him. My husband began waking in the night abruptly with what felt to him like a shot of epinephrine and was accompanied by claustrophobia and dread of returning to sleep. In a short time he was very sleep deprived and miserable. His doctor couldn't make sense of it and others would not even see him because they deemed the claustrophobia psychiatric. Then he say Dr. G and she assured him that she would figure it out. It took persistence but she determined that he was having seizures in his sleep, likely due to a head injury decades ago. He is now on anti-seizure medication. His symptoms are minimal. He is a new man and we are very thankful to have found Dr. G! She is a life saver.
