In 2017, I visited Dr. Gayan Poovendran, M.D. at Meli Orthopedics. I explained that when the lower lumbar disc(s) in my vertebrae slip and its bones are pinching my nerves, I am totally disabled with severe pain. At those times, and only at those times, I take opioid medicine for the pain. I related to him my understanding of the tragic and unfortunate opioid epidemic. I am an addiction professional with twenty (20) years of experience at counseling persons struggling with addiction. I probed him in order to find out if he w... read more

Dr. Gayan Poovendran, a traitor from the country America and to its citizens. Dr. Gayan Poovendran is a disgrace to the entire medical profession and is a DOMESTIC TERRORIST. I was denied medical care by Dr. Gayan Poovendran in The United States of America. I had made an appointment and showed up for medical care, only to be told by Dr. Gayan Poovendran that he would not do anything and denied medical care. I was crying in pain. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR, HE IS A DANGER TO AMERICA, ITS CITIZENS AND A DOMESTIC TERRORIST!!! I ... read more

Dr. Poovendran has a great bedside manner. He’s a genius. He listens to you and works with you. He has helped me with my knees, my shoulders, and my arms. Because of him, I am mobile, I can get around and I can wash my hair and pet my dog. I am healing all the time. He suggested I do my shoulder PT exercises in the pool and now I have more mobility. He acts like you’re his only patient and I recommend him highly. You will not be disappointed.

Trying to get a refill of a pain medicine for more that a week and a half. Called several times and left a message. CVS has contacted them several times. No response! This doesn't not reflect well on the Doctor! Office needs to be more responsive to the patient. Also, I did speak to 2 people in the office and they said they would call the pharmacy and DID NOT!

I am still chasing the office and Dr Poovendran's assistant to fax over my physical therapy order to Holy Cross Outpatient physical therapy since they dont accept the hard copy of the order. I tried emailing, phone calls numerous times, the order is still not faxed over while I'm suffering and in desperate need of the therapy. I have never met a more incompetent, unfriendly bunch of people! All that, after they refused to see me last time when I had a $40 unpaid balance on my account and did not have my wallet with me to pay... read more

Today for the first time I met Dr. Poovendran and I felt that he rushed too much when consulting me. I was left with questions. I had to ask the nurse to run after and get the answers. The clinic was full of patients. I did not have to wait. Having acute pain, I found the staff not so much friendly/helpful/considerate as expected when I asked to lend the walker.
