Dr. Gopurala is a wonderful doctor. Seems very concerned about his patients. I do not enjoy calling him on his cell phone though. That would be my only negative.

I have been with Dr. G for around 12 years now. He has always been very informative and helpful with my condition. I am so thankful that he was able to find out and treat my hemochromatosis soon enough. He has always been just a phone call away. I appreciate all that he has done for me. Thanks, Ricky Seale

- Flora
I like Dr. Gopurala and that why is come to see him and he keeps me well. Dr. Gopurala has done a very good job. His staff is excellent.
- George
Dr. G is family. He's a remarkably learned and personable physician who has always shown genuine concern for my well-being, in stark contrast to so many physicians who look at their patients and only see a faceless series of cash registers. He has invested time and ingenuity in understanding my very complicated health and continues, after years of treating my chronic condition, to strive to make things better for me. I cannot commend him more highly, and I recommend him and his practice to anyone in need of specialized attention. Regardless of the intricacy of your condition, I would be shocked if he can't have a dramatic and immediate impact on your health. The man, to put it simply, gives a damn, and does not stop giving a damn. Don't expect a fancy office. He has instead invested everything in his profession and craft.
- Tammy
Dr. Gopurala listens very well with his patients including me. He explains very this he does very well. I am very satisfied with his care.
