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.

Taught me so much
I worked with Dr. Gable when I first became a physician assistant. I learned so much from her and absolutely loved her sense of humor. She is a true gem.

Wonderful
Dr. Gable is old school, but she was so thorough and was able to help me in the most difficult time of my life. If I ever need to return to the ED at St Mary, I would hope to have her again. After reading some of these other comments, it just goes to show that reviews are only filled out by those who had bad experiences. It happens, but St. Mary is not 1 doctor and cannot be based off 1 experience.
What went well
  • I felt respected
  • Listened & answered questions
  • Explained conditions well
  • Staff friendliness
  • Appointment wasn't rushed

Dr. Gable has a poor bedside manner to both patients and family members. She is condensending and displays rudeness.

She was abrasive, demeaning, condescending and just plain HORRIBLE to deal with. I presented with extreme abdominal pain and she told me I had a virus..."Haven't you ever heard of a virus?" she says...after a month of pain and suffering. Gave me fluids and benadryl to sleep (said I had anxiety) @St Mary Medical. Discharged after 4 hours with NO TESTS run except blood work. Turns out I NEEDED a CT SCAN because I had a massive cancerous tumor blocking 99% of my upper colon! DO NOT go to ST MARY

Saw Dr Gable at St Mary ER. If I could give 0 stars I would. Shes old, mean, belligerent and condescending. Told me to eat a cracker for a virus, when I had a large tumor in my colon and stage 3 colon cancer. She should be fired for negligence.
