Love him. Great doctor.
7/5/2025
He seemed like a very good doctor, but it is hard to really know him from a one-time video visit. I much prefer in-person office visits.

This does not apply to Dr.G., but the nursing care I received after the hemi-colectomy was sub standard. The room was cold, and I was not told there was a thermostat in the room; I was not informed that I had to make a phone call to the kitchen to receive a meal.
