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.

I have been seeing Dr. Gandola since the last part of 2019. I really like him so much. He is very patient, understanding. He listens and is willing to talk things through with you and explain things. He will send you for tests to find what is wrong in a timely manner and will personally call you to discuss the results. Whenever, I've had an appointment, I'm usually taken back on time. I'm very pleased to have him as my doctor.

TLDR: DR GANDOLA IS THE SH*T *mic drop* When we needed a new family doctor after moving and becoming “grown ups” we were terrified picking blankly out of a hat. We looked at some reviews and did just that and boy did we hit the jackpot. We’ve seen Dr. Gandola three times now and I think my fear of going to the doctor *might* be over for good. Some doctors can be pushy and cold. Dr. Gandola did his best to be prepared and get to know us before he even met us! I LOVE THAT. Each time he knows wh

Always available and very thorough in his follow up to our appointments. I can ask him a question online and can expect a response same day. I never feel rushed when I have an appointment. He also does a great job of laying our my options, giving his own professional opinion but not forcing me into anything and letting me make my own decision.

I left his practice because he refused to refill prescriptions from previous Drs while diagnosing me out side of his qualified specialties, and adding those diagnosis to my history. He's not competent in my opinion, and I'm not the only one to leave his practice because of his actions. After I left his practice, he sent me a certified letter saying, "He is withdrawing from my care. What a joke, he needs to be reminded of the sworn ethics because he doesn't use them in his practice as a Dr.
