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.

Dr Gesme is a superb doctor and good human.
excellentI feel that I receive very good care. My Doctor cares for me. He is bright, informed and caring. I am nearly 3 years out from my surgery and he follows me closely.

Very Good doctor – Nov 19, 2024

LIED on my official medical records! While doing ultrasound on my breast, (and without giving a reason) stopped & said: "Can I stick a needle in it?" I said 'no'. I later asked for a copy of my records- and within them he had stated that "he had given me a long reason for 'the needle', and that I acknowledged the possible risk to my health by denying it".
What went well
  • Staff friendliness
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions

Dr. Gesme followed his gut instinct about me and had me get an MRI of my breasts after I had received a negative mammogram. The MRI showed a cancerous tumor that had not shown on the mammogram. Without his good judgment and instinct I would have had a much different outcome. Thank you, Dr. Gesme
