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.

always cancels appointments
I used to have this doctor but I changed her because she had canceled appointments on me due to 'emergencies' at least 5-10 times. Very unprofessional.

Her nurse is horrible. She tries to push the patients off to urgent care and the emergency room instead of seeing that their health needs are addressed in a timely manner. My wife almost died a week ago in the ER and her nurse tried to schedule her to be seen in four weeks and told us to go back to the ER if need be. I’ve never had such and awful experience. Her nurse needs to be fired. She should not be in the industry

It took 3 weeks to get an appointment and I have now been sitting here for 2 1/2 hours and still have not seen her. It is beyond ridiculous! I will be changing my promary doctor first thing tomorrow.

I understand that doctors need to make a living. However this doctor allows her staff to make multiple appointments for the same time. I write this as I sit in the waiting room for a 2 o'clock appointment with 6 other people. Keep in mind that they close for lunch and dont open till 2. Last time for me, I'm switching.

Dr. Gabbita is good at what she does and listening to your needs and concerns. Some (basic checkup) you seemed to be rushed in and out the room with her. No real conversation. The wait time is horrible I have been waiting in just the wait room before for at least an hour that doesn't include once I am back in the room. I now have to plan on missing a days work whenever I have an appointment with her because of the wait time. It's also hard to make an appointment when you're sick to be seen.

She has been my doctor for over 25 years. She is personable, attentive, listens, will spend as much as needed with you to discuss and explain. In turn turn that may cause yoo to have to wait longer as the next patient . worth it, I prefer that than a doctor that is in and out or seeing P.A. Instead of a doctor. She doesnt hesitate to refer to specialist-as needed. Very thorough. Her asst Letty is great. Office reception needs improvment.
