George F Geils Jr, MD

I received a formal notice to seek follow-up specialty care elsewhere due to cancelled appointments and failed to show for visits with improper notice. I've never seen this doctor,only the nurse practitioner. I was under the care of his father until his father retired. On two occasions, I've received calls from the staff that they needed to cancel my appt due to the physician being out of the office. Yes, I've canceled 2 appointments due to me being ill and having a procedure the same day. In reference to the letter, I spoke to the Office Manager(Zack). He was rude about the situation and also fail to look into the matter before sending out a certify letter. Also stated that he wasn't aware of some of the calls I receive in reference to the physican not being able to see me. Who does this? But everything happens for a reason. That was my sign that I needed to seek medical care someplace else.

Very quick to leave the room when seeing my husband in the hospital. does not take the time to explain anything!

My mom was diagnosed with stage IV Colon Cancer that had spread to her liver back in April. Dr. Geils and staff did everything possible to help my mom. She was responding well to the therapy and doing fine, but 2 weeks ago passed away due to unrelated causes. I am most appreciative of Dr. Geils and his staff and would recommend him to anyone.

My father was diagnosed with very advanced stage IV melanoma early this year. My husband is an oncologist, but we lived several states away from my parents so my parents asked Dr. Geils to speak to him. Dr. Geils *repeatedly* told my father and mother that he would call my husband to discuss my father's illness and planned treatment as they requested. He NEVER called him, not when the diagnosis was made as they requested, not before starting the chemotherapy as they requested, nor after my fathers death just *days* after starting a chemotherapy regimen. He started my dad on very expensive course of treatment that was not appropriate (standard of care)for his illness and his condition (he was very weak and his performance status should have precluded this therapy). He led my mom and dad to believe my father's illness had a 1 in 3 chance of cure -- my mother wrote this in her notes -- a complete falsehood. He also did not contact my father's primary care doctor during my dad treatment. My father's illness was terrible and quick to take him from us, but Dr. Geils made the horrific experience even worse and I would not recommend him to anyone!!

My husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer back in October of '08. While it was a terrifying diagnosis, our surgeon, Dr. Hank West, and Dr. Geils never gave us any concern that they weren't going to do their best to help Joe beat the cancer. Their positive attitude always reflected back to Joe. He's fought the devil to get through this, and Dr. Geils hasn't once backed down on the attack. After almost 3 years, the cancer looks to be finally out of Joe's liver... The radiologist has found two other small lesions. We see Doctor G next Thursday. I have no doubt he'll get right on the attack. Dr. Geils is a most awesome doctor all 'round. We don't just like him, we've come to genuinely care about him, as we feel he does us also. He doesn't just treat the cancer, he treats the whole patient and family too.
