Dr. Carl Gilbert, MD

I accompanied my sister, the patient, to a consultation at Dr Gilbert’s office, and to his surgery center 2 days later for surgery . Since we’re currently battling the COVID-19 virus, you would think a doctor’s surgery center, as well as his medical office would be adhering to recommended practices, however they were NOT. The offices/waiting areas were not arranged 6 feet apart. Strangers could sit beside you, although myself and another patient never sat down because of the conditions. There were no signs of chairs or countertops being sanitized or cleaned in any fashion. To top things off, my sister was not given any written aftercare instructions when we left the surgery center! I was too upset to ask about instructions before we left, but we shouldn’t have had to ask! I had to call after we arrived home and inquire how to care for her incision and stitches. Extremely unprofessional and unclean.

Unsatisfactory. His office called and asked to change my appointment time late in the afternoon the day prior. I rearranged my schedule to accommodate his office. I showed up fifteen minutes early and waited nearly an hour without being seen, and without a word from the office staff, before I got fed up and left. The Jerry Springer Show was on blast in the waiting room the entire time, much to the delight of the hoodrats and other pearls of society who were waiting to be seen. Maybe he's a good doctor, I don't know...but I will be going elsewhere.

Dr Gilbert did well on my gallbladder surgery. Then I started to hurt really bad on my top incision and I called his office to try and get my schedule moved up because I could hardly move. They said they would call back but never did so I've been sitting in pain most of the week.

Dr Carl Gilbert cares for his patience honestly after going over the reasons why I had to have surgery I had one question. He is very thorough and ask questions to make sure he is doing right by his patience. For outpatient surgery he made sure I did not leave the hospital without having my pain managed. I love him you are in good hands with Dr Gilbert.

I am happy that other patients have had good experiences with Dr. Gilbert, however I am not one of them. I was admitted to the hospital with a significant wound on my left foot that had become septic. It took 3 different Nurses multiple calls over the period of 2 days to 'force' Dr. Gilbert to assess my wound. When he finally arrived, his bedside manner was gruff at best . I walked out of the follow-up appointment after waiting over 1 hour with no explanation for the delay.
