Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Smartest doctor I have been to. He saved my life.
He figured out that I had multiple sclerosis when several dozens of others didn't even think it as a possibility. I owe him my existence.

Dr. G is a good dr. Explain everything thoroughly. I will say if you are just going for your addiction or sell on the street. You will get caught guarantee. Staff is super nice. Did not have to wait long to get in from the lobby. Honesty to the dr and results come quicker.I finally found a good dr with magic in his hands for injections too. While I was away from Dr. G I saw many dr's and that's when I then noticed the difference of who the best dr was for me and now I'm back as his patient. Whoever reads this review please dont go by the all the negatives and give it a chance. Dr and staff are there for their honest patients that want to get better and have a quality of life. Thankyou to the doc and staff. God bless and keep safe. Remember the doc and staff have bad days too! They still care.

This Dr. had me taking medication that I didn’t need the last time I saw him he said my cholesterol was high but it wasn’t. He told me I had degenerative disk disease and I don’t. I went to him for years I trusted him and to find out that he didn’t give a damn about me. Had me coming to see him every month just so he could bill the insurance company I tell you to beware!!!!

Continuing me review, this doctor called me names that I was not comfortable with and when i told him this, he call me unreasonable and continued to use curse words with me and when I was on the verge on tears, saying I think I needed a new doctor, all he proceeded to say to me was, Have a blessed day and hung up on me. All the while I was explaining to him I was having suicidal feelings and thoughts and desperatly needed help with my sleeping and meds fixed. DO NOT visit this doctor.

100% YES! He was a miracle worker for our Alzheimer's family member. Dr Gatzimos honed in solved what was going on medically with her, incredibly tweaked and refined the exact regimen that brought our family member to health and a function level we never thought possible. He is always available. So impressed with his amazing insight and effective care management.. Takes time with the patient and family members as if they were his only patient. He did miracles for us!

I wouldn't recommend him or his office to my worst enemy. They are terrible people and nothing but bullies! His wife who is his practice manager has assault charges pending for her assaulting a staff member. What kind of a place does that?! Stay far, far away for these crazy people, and the ugly fat receptionist at the front desk is rude and should treat patients better.

I absolutely love it here. I've been going to him for almost 4 years and he has done more for me in 1 year than any other doctor has. I've had a total knee replacement, total hysterectomy, and my bladder pulled up into a sling. To me he is amazing! I have many more physical problems that he is and has taken care of. The staff is wonderful! The ladies in there are the kindest sweetest women and whoever wrote those horrible things about him and the staff is WRONG!

After suffering for more then 20 years with chronic back pain this Dr. is the only one of numerous Drs.that have ever diagonosed and treated my pain and I have been mostly pain free for over a year. He has always been very pleasant and ,answers my questions honestly. I am so thankful to be his patient. I hope to keep him as my pain management dr, for many years.
