Real Success Stories
from Patients We’ve Helped

"I was going to another orthopedic and when they saw my CT scan they weren’t sure they could even help me with my shoulder or do surgery. A friend of mine suggested going to Dr. Goradia and when I saw Dr. Gordian he did a CT scan of both my shoulders and he felt that he could do a reverse total shoulder replacement. I had my right shoulder done first and was so impressed that I went back and had my left shoulder done. My left shoulder was one of the worst shoulders he had ever seen. I am now in recovery and will be going back to work. Dr. Goradia is the best Orthopedic doctor that I have ever seen. He very caring and understanding G2 Orthopedic and doctor Gordadia help me get my life back . I’m able to move my shoulders and sleep without pain. Thank you G2 and Dr. Goradia for all you have done for me."

"After a sports related knee injury, I went to the first doctor I could get an appointment with in Richmond. Upon finding out that I had torn my ACL, I scheduled surgery for two weeks out. During those two weeks I learned of Dr. Goradia (who was not my original doctor) and the newer treatment he is able to provide for ACL tears called ACL Preservation surgery. I called Dr. Goadia’s office thinking there would be no chance for him to fit me in prior to my scheduled surgery to see if I was a candidate. Not only did he fit me in, but he spent time going over my MRI in detail and laid out all of the surgery options to me so I could understand them and feel comfortable with my decision. Fortunately, I was a candidate for the ACL Preservation surgery and he was able to make room for me in his schedule the following week to do the procedure (1 day PRIOR to my original surgery date!). I have since been back for all of my follow up appointments and all of the staff at G2 are friendly, helpful, timely and knowledgeable. I would recommend G2 Ortho and Dr. Goradia to anyone!"
