Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Kulkarni was very pleasant and told me what I should do to keep improving with my back pain. His procedure reduced my pain a great deal.

What about Kulkarni?
He was recommended to me by someone I trust very much. I find that he really knows what he is doing with regard to helping with chronic pain but he is very quiet, almost off putting because we want our doctors to have a decent bedside manner as well. Maybe he is just shy I really don't know but that would be my only criticism.

Thorough
Dr. Kulkarni was very professional. He listened to my issues and made a plan for me only after reviewing my previous testing. I felt confident in his recommendation. I most definitely will follow his advice and continue care with him.

Awesome Doctor
I have been a patient of Dr. Kulkarni for several years. With lots of back issues, and previous back surgery, I was lucky to have found such a great Doctor. He gave me my life back, and gave me quality of life again. Highly Recommend!
