Gopal Harsha V, MD

I’m 64 and have suffered from sinus problems for over 50 years, I also have asthma. I was referred to Dr. Gopal because I was considered a high risk patient. Dr. Gopal was professional and answered all my questions. His was confident that the surgery would change my life and he delivered. The endoscopic surgery was incredible with no bruising and little discomfort that I had experience in the past. Waking up naturally without a alarm and feeling rested and breathing out of my nose was life changing. Because my sinuses are under control my asthma has improved and I haven’t had the flu in years. Special thanks to his staff that go out of there way to book a appointment for me so I won’t run into heavy traffic coming from NH. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Gopal for giving me back a normal life.

Dr Harsha Gopal is a wonderful ENT professional. I have been under his care for a number of years now. I not only see him onaregular basis to monitor my physical well being, but has also performed throat surgery for vocal chord polyps. He is a fantastic, caring physician. Extremely knowledgeable, caring, kind with a wonderful bedside manner. I recommend Dr. Gopal very highly to anyone seeking a ENT professional. Would give him and his staff a 10+ rating if available.

I just finished my sinus surgery with Dr. Gopal. He is by far the best surgeon I could’ve chosen for my procedure. I had major sinus surgery and he took his time with me before the operation and checked in with me immediately after it. I got a terrific result and now can breathe on my right side. I haven’t gotten a sinus infection since the surgery. His office staff is terrific and he always spends plenty of time in the office to answer all my questions.
The nurses at Beth Israel Hospital had great things to say about Dr. Gopal. Of course it doesn’t hurt that he did many of their sinus surgeries as well. That’s about the best endorsement a surgeon can get!

Dr. Gopal has been my ENT for 10+years. He performed endoscopic sinus surgery during my first year as his patient. The surgery and post op treatments have effectively limited my sinus infections which I had endured constantly for 20+ years prior to my surgery. His innovative and timely care has allowed me to limit my use of antibiotics. He is a thought leader and creative problem solver.
Dr. Gopal truly LISTENS to his patients and WORKS with them. He has diagnosed me earlier and more effectively than other specialists with common and rare disorders. Given his knowledge and experience, he does not need to rely on tests to make an accurate and timely diagnosis.
The office has always been and continues to be the most efficiently run physicians’ office that I have had the pleasure to work with. For example, you are given a printed summary of your office visit which details the physical exam, his assessment and care plan.
I would give Dr. Gopal more than 5 stars if I could!

Saw Dr. Gopal after what I thought was 3 month sinus infection that I thought would be with me forever. He examined nose, mouth and throat, then spayed lidocaine in sinus and carefully examined sinus with fiberoptics. His diagnosis. Not sinus infection but infection in my nose membranes that was causing the problems and driving me crazy. Script for antibiotic cream and instructions how to apply it. Much better already second day. Staff and Dr. Gopal were uniformly kind and friendly. He was extremely knowledgeable including about the dilute essential oils i was using to keep problem at bay. Was also not difficult to get appointment pretty soon. Highest recommendation.

NO PATIENT SERVICES IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible office management, no patient services, and extremely racist staff who discriminate and harass patients for the mere fact of asking questions. OUTRAGEOUS!!! This Clinic neerds a major revamp in management ASAP in order to restore some civility and respect in the office atmosphere. Certain patients are verbally abused and berated by management and other patients who are friends with management and staff. In fact, management and other staff praise patients who harass and violate the civil rights of other patients. This clinic is the Wild West on steroids of medical offices. It is DISGUSTING how poorly some patients are treated because of RACISM and DISCRIMINATION! VERY DISGUSTING is the only description that can accurately describe this clinic. STAY AWAY if you know what is good for you.

I had a septoplasty done by Dr. Gopal and I couldn’t ask for better work. Surgery was quick, and effective. Have had the splints out for 1 week now and there is very minor bleeding and none really during the day, after the first week, I continued my job just fine. I highly recommend this Dr. to perform surgeries. Surgery took only an hour, I was in and out so quick. And my breathing is excellent now. I also give thanks to the Lord Jesus for guiding the surgery !

5+ stars for Dr. Gopal’s knowledge and experience in diagnosing a complicated deep sinus infection. As well as gentleness when exploring the depths of sinuses within your head. Not a pleasant thing to have done, but Dr. Gopal took extra care in easing this uncomfortable procedure.
5+ stars for recognizing the severity of this nasty infection and putting treatment on the fast track to surgery. Making sure that the surgery was indeed on the fast track, Dr. Gopal personally scheduled the surgery, rearranging patients and closely monitoring the sorry looking nasal passages for further signs of deterioration. (Other distinguished ENT physicians, with the exception of Dr. Vernik, who is Dr Gopal’s partner, did not recognize the intensity of this infection and thus did not get any little Unilocal red stars).
5+ stars for excellent bedside manners, and for the ability to convey trust that patients need to see before counting backwards from 100 to 99. Knowing that your doctor has done this same surgery, hundreds of times, and has taught many other physicians, is reassuring. And when the surgery in only a thin bone away from your brain, you need to have trust.
5+ stars for a smooth surgery and as smooth as can be expected recovery, while zapping the daylights out of those nasty bacteria who set up home in little cranial cubby holes. Sinus surgery recovery can be rough, with packing, nasal breathing tubes, and trapped gunk. Dr. Gopal avoids nasal packing when possible. Most doctors we met still do packing, and thus, sadly, receive no little red stars.
5+ stars for an excellent office staff. This is a private practice and therefore, patients get the surprise of longer visits, less bureaucratic rules (where patients can easily get frustrated) and more personal treatment. The office personnel are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, thus earning themselves a 5+ star rating.
5+ stars for Dr. Gopal’s and Dr. Vernick’s ability to balance private practice and faculty responsibilities at Harvard Medical School, and giving patients a better option than busy clinics, no matter how prestigious. According to Dr. Gopal and Vernik’s website, delivering faster and superior care was one reason that they formed a private practice.
Let me see…5 stars… multiplied by 6 equals…30 STARS! Finding solutions to provide better patient care deserves recognition, as well as delivering outstanding care Finding a way to give greater than 5 stars on Unilocal,easy.
