Dr. Christos Gabriel, MD

I took my 3 year son after 3 weeks of rash, joint pain, fever, low appetite, and headache. Basic tests done at PCP were all negative. They referred us to a pediatric rheumatologist. Dr. Gabriel was the closest at 2.5 hours away! His office staff were nice but failed to check us in properly. I never filled out any medical history information, they didn't even obtain the correct PCP information to share records. Dr. Gabriel was very dismissive of my son's condition saying it was no need for concern. He got very limited history, did an exam, and said we didn't need to do any labs but could if I wanted. I of course requested the labs because I know something is wrong, don't know what, but I know it's not right. I requested access to the online portal so I can easily print his labs to share with his PCP but no success in getting that. Office staff said because they forgot to have me sign up in person at registration I now can't. Overall I would not reccomend Dr. Gabriel or CHKD.

Dr. Christos Gabriel has gone above and beyond. He has provided outstanding medical care. Finding the right doctor can make a world of difference in how a patient fares, especially when managing a chronic illness that can be controlled, but not cured. Good communication skills, empathy and compassion is what Dr. Gabriel has given us. He monitors my son's treatment and progress, and is truly happy when he does well. An outstanding medical professional who values his relationship with his patients

There is a benefit to this Drs. approach. He does not jump to conclusions or medicate to see what happens. He does not rush to bogus a diagnosis and make you chase your tail to find out what is really going on. This is frustrating in a world where we demand answers NOW. But, it is not good medicine to give pushy parents bad answers and pills to make them happy. Dr. Gabriel does not do this. Its not always convenient but smart.

I can't believe he is listed as only having a 3.2...I am baffled. If it wasn't for Dr. Gabriel my daughter would not be here. At the age of 13 1/2 she became very ill. We were sent to him via our pediatrician. He tested and retested her, sent her to many other specialists to ensure his diagnosis accuracy. She got so sick we almost lost her. I love this man with all my heart and he is a magnificent doctor and human being. Thank you Dr. Gabriel we could never thank you enough....you are a blessing

We brought our 7 year to CHKD after 2 weeks of her having chronic fever and rashes and a few other docs telling us they were stumped. CHKD assigned Dr Gabriel to us. He was very dismissive at first but we just took it as another really smart guy with poor bedside manners. Man he has been horrible! He needs to retire or another doc needs to set up shop in the area. He may be smart. He may have helped a lot of people. But don't count on him caring about you or digging a little to find out.
