I don’t know that I have the ability to convey in words just how amazing Dr. Gunnala and his team are, but I will try my best. Our journey together was almost 4 years long and will probably continue once we are ready for Baby #2. We had struggled with infertility for years and when we finally decided to seek medical advice, we had the pleasure and luck of working with Dr. Gunnala.
As a physician myself, I cannot praise his bedside manner and genuine compassion for his patients enough. I think I will always remember how he literally wiped the tears from my eyes on multiple occasions, from being terrified of not waking up before receiving anesthesia for the first time to almost not wanting to wake up before a D&C. We went through 6 unfortunate and gut wrenching losses but always felt so supported throughout them all. He was even willing to collaborate with another physician upon my request, as I wanted to add treatment for potential autoimmune issues to his protocol.
There were multiple times where I wondered how it was possible to feel as though I was one of his only patients, when he clearly has a busy practice, as evidenced by his constantly packed parking lot! He even checked in on me regularly after I “graduated” from the clinic with my last pregnancy and was one of the first to congratulate us on our 6x over rainbow baby. His NP, Shelly, also deserves special recognition, as she was always trying to work me in to the 7am ultrasound appointment slots and was tolerant of (and even laughed at) the slew of profanities that were hurled in her general direction during various procedures. In the world of infertility, the only guarantee is that there are no guarantees. But there is some comfort in knowing that you are receiving the best of care with Dr. Gunnala and his team.
