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.

Never again. Careless- didn’t know what was wrong with me besides a number that “didn’t matter”- it was so high no one had ever seen it that high where I ended up. Refused to refer me to an endo- ended up out of state paying out of pocket for care, surgery and cancer. Thanks for the carelessness- maybe you should just admit you don’t understand things rather than tons of tests blood draws etc then ignore the number that comes back alarming. You are not an endo. Guess what that anxiety you wrote all over my records at Vandy and tried to give me a psych referral was all indeed endo and CANCER YOU MISSED. Glad I listened to myself and left your care. Could have been dead.

Dr. Gainer asked health history questions I’ve never been asked before to properly evaluate my situation. He listened to my layman questions and answered each one to the best of his ability. I believe he genuinely cares about his patients and I have complete confidence in him as my doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Gainer.

He is a great dr. My first vist with him was great. He spent all the time need with me and answer any questions as best as he could and even told me step by step on what we will be doing or what will happen and what he is thinking is the problem. Setting up appts with him is so easy and his staff are wounderful
