The office staff are not at all qualified. They were very rude, and unprofessional. Would not recommend, nor will I be going back.

Dr Gains is hit and miss with how well he listens. The care that you get will depend on what type of day he is having. He is friendly and talks about everything but treatment. I had to ask him to treat high blood pressure after numerous visits with my blood pressure being 168 over 124. High blood pressure is a serious issue and would of been missed had I not requested treatment for it. Also, good luck getting a return call. After getting injured in a work accident, I could not even get a phone call back to answer questions I had about treatment. I gave a two star rating because he has great office staff. Some of the best around.
