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.

Refused to listen, refused to diagnose me, 13 years later I am permanently disabled because of him. My condition back then was treatable, now it no longer is. He treats every woman as a mental case, even when coming in with a high fever, throat swelling, chest pain, and full body rash. Made fun of me for taking medications I was prescribed by him. Made fun of my swollen face during a severe allergic reaction. I am happy he is retired and no longer 'treating' patients.

At the time of this review Dr. Gaskill is a home care doctor for Onsite Health. From the beginning I provided him with my official diagnostic records. I have a unique invisible collagen disorder verified by genetic tests. Dr. Gaskill suggested that my illness was psychiatric. The only advice I got was to call 911 or go to the ER. I have chronic pain, severe fatigue, and suffer from dysautonomia, Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome, neurogenic bowel disease, adrenal fatigue, and PTSD.

Dr G has not only been my doctor since birth.. But he's been a friend too. He's also gone out of his way on multiple occasions for me. From stitching my finger back together on my 10th birthday... To putting my clumsy self back together... More times then I can count. You are the best doctor around... All of your patients are lucky to have you as their doctor! Wish you were here in Alabama! I give you a ???????????????????? (10)star rating

He was unfriendly from the start, he was unprofessional in many ways. He couldn't even say how he to wanted to exam me, made me choose to the point of ridiculousness. He didn't even ask what meds I've already used for the condition, before he told me what to use. And he complained about me not listening to him when he was the one not listening to me or addressing my concerns. He was totally uncompassionate and unconcerned about my feelings. And he had a know it all attitude. Nurse was ok.

As the others have stated. How is this man a doctor? He is one of the most rude and dismissive individuals I have ever met. There are no words to describe how awful this man is. I would be on my death bed before having to interact with this man again. He treats you like you are the scum of the earth.

Why is this man a doctor? I came to him because I had a fever over 100 degrees & a healing abscess that I wanted him to check out. He is rude. He didn't bother to listen to what I had to say and actually cringed when I told him I was on my period. He spent about 3 minutes with me total and didn't address my fever or my abscess. This man is not worthy of your time. I spent 3 hours at the office because they made a lab mistake. What a joke. Do not bother to come here.I don't know how he's a doctor

He made me feel very uncomfortable. Not friendly at all, won't smile or greet so it makes you feel as if he is angry at you. Both times I felt very rushed. First time I was little late so he walked in and said he only got 7 minutes to go over. I was late by 5 minutes, But anyways so even though it was my first visit with him and I needed a full medical he said to just go over main issue which I told him so he asked to do blood and stool exam and without further asking if I had any other problem.

I brought my 1 year old into Dr. Gaskill for her 12 month and 15 month checkup. The wait time was very long and he is EXTREMELY rude. Not patient with young kids either. He almost knocked my daughter over and did not apologize or say anything at all. The office is unorganized and did not inform us that they no longer offered vaccinations. I will NEVER be bringing my daughter back to him again. Not a nice man nor a caring doctor.
