I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS after ankle surgery (not at HSS). Unable to stand or walk for longer than five minutes, I was suffering on many levels. I could not put on shoes or socks. The pain was excruciating a 9 out of 10. From the research I did, I wasn't optimistic that I would ever have relief. People are debilitated by this disease. My painful blue foot and I were fortunate to find Dr. Gungor! I was given an appointment right away. He immediately knew what would be most effective and took the time to explain all the details. After some diagnostic testing I underwent six Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks with Dr. Gungor.

I cannot say enough about the superb team. From my first encounter with office staff to the nurses, technicians and of course Dr. Gungor I felt like I was the only patient in the hospital!

The result is I am in almost complete remission. I am able to walk, work and take care of my daughter. Dr. Gungor gave me my life back. To others suffering with RSD/CRPS please know you can conquer this. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Gungor and HSS.
