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.

As long as I can remember I was a mouth breather (cue negative connotations from Stranger Things) and was always too scared to have my nose looked at because surgery terrified me. I finally mustered the courage and went to see Dr. Gampper because he is qualified in complicated nose reconstructions. I am so glad I did! I had multiple deviations in my septum that needed to be repaired; I also needed splints put in my nostrils to widen them so I could finally breathe. I was terrified this would cause my nose to look too wide. Dr. Gampper was patient through all my checkups, addressing all my questions with sincere care and I cannot speak highly enough of him. I also appreciated that he asked questions about me/my life as well, so it really felt like he cared about me as a person, not just a patient. Thank you Dr. Gampper (and Amy, his scheduler, is super prompt in responding too, so thank you Amy)!

This Doctor will use unnecessary high cost procedures that your insurance company will not pay for, and you end up with large bills. His staff does not respond to your calls and he does not follow thru on things that he tells you he will do on your behalf in working with the hospital or insurance company. Stay away from him and his staff!

During my one visit with Dr. Gampper, he asked what my husband did for a living and other information not related to my skin issue I was seeing him for. I was very surprised to learn he scheduled me for the OR under general anesthesia for this issue. I was told by my dermatologist that this was a routine procedure that could be easily be completed in the office. I was stunned. I cancelled the operation and had my skin issue taken care of in 10 minutes in my regular dermatologist's office.
