John M Gilbert Jr, MD

I'AM AFRAID TO GO TO THIS DOCTOR IT MAY BE MAY LAST ONE I DON'T THINK HE CARES HIS MADE HIS MONEY SOME TIMES HE JUST DON'T SEEM LIKE HIS SELF. I FEEL HIS MIND IS SOME WHERE ELSE.AND HE LOOKS AT YOU BUT DON'T HEAR YOU. GOD HELP HIS PATIENCES.

This guy does not take any time to listen to you. He is mean, uncaring, and doesn't believe you when you aren't feeling well. He was incredibly rude to us. I won't be seeing him again.

I went to Dr Gilbert when my PA found a lump on my thyroid. After a needle biopsy came back normal Dr Gilbert says "If it continues to grow and gets ugly, we'll take it out." I said, " I want it out now" and Dr Gilbert agreed with this and got it through so my insurance paid. For this I will be forever grateful because it turned out to be papillary thyroid cancer! I was only 39 so my prognosis was and is excellent but bottom line people is do your research! I found out needle biopsy is only reliable if done with and ultra sound (ultra sound guided) which Dr Gilbert did not do! From there on out, although he is very personable, i felt rushed through my appointments. I tried to make my appointments the first one in the morning or first after lunch and he still made me wait one sometimes 2 hours! How does that happen if he's only spending 5 mins per pt? Once I went in there with a list of questions on a note pad and he left to take a phone call and didn't come back! The nurse wouldn't even go get him, she wanted me to leave her the questions and she would ask them and call me back! That was my last appointment, my regular MD/PA agreed to keep up my routine follow up appointments and write my Rx.

Wait times do seem to be long not only in the waiting room but waiting for Dr. Gilbert in the exam room.

To be fair, I haven't even seen him yet for my first appt, but wow, based on the comments that I've read so far, I'm not looking forward to my first appt. I'd change docs based just on these comments-they're not great. But of course I'm limited in choice of docs and my condition warrants an endo. I'll keep my fingers crossed that things are better than what I'm reading and will try to remember to report back.

I've been seeing Gilbert every 3-6 months for more than 6 years and thru 2 office moves. The newest move seems to have improved the overall waiting time - which was ALWAYS at least an hour in the waiting room and about 45 minutes in the exam room, for your 5 minutes of time with him. He has left my visits MANY times for a sudden phone call. Actually, the phone calls and drug reps seem to take precedence over the patients who are there in person. The office staff leaves a lot to be desired. None of them seem to enjoy what they are doing and it shows. They are all very somber, some of them are down right un-friendly. They are probably stressed to the max by trying to get the backed up line of patients through. Again, that seems to have improved some with the newest office move (mid to late 2010). But none of them could be accused of having a bubbly personality. As a person, he is enjoyable and friendly, easy to engage in conversation, a bit too casual at times. BUT as a doctor, I am always left wondering. My condition is very likely to lead to, if not already be, cancerous and his casual approach to that unnerves me at times. I really feel like 50% of the time he looks at my chart and remembers what we were doing about it. The other 50% of the time it's as if I'm a new patient and having to remind him that my case is not just routine. I would guess that if I just had a straight forward diagnosis of diabetes, all would be fine. For routine thyroid disorders he's probably fine too. But for thyroid CANCER, I'm not all that confident that my developing cancer won't be missed/ignored until the next 6 month check...or two or three or FOUR. Proceed with caution.

He is very knowledgeable as a doctor. He's been at this a long time, and he definitely knows what he's talking about. But I've been in to see him three times now, and only once was the wait to see him actually shorter than an hour. Once I waited 1 hr and 40 min... for an appointment that turned out to be less than 5 min long once I actually got in there! I don't know how things get so backed up in his office. But, beyond that, I didn't really feel like he took time to listen. Just hurry up and get out the door. Now, maybe he recognized that, because I'm only 30 years of age and in relatively good health overall, he needed to speed through to "more pressing" patients. Sort of a triage thing. I can't fault that. Now, all this being said, of the two endocrinology docs there at St. Jude Bastanchury, Gilbert is definitely the better of the two. But I can't say I'm quite pleased objectively.

My auntie and my mom love this guy.He is an endocrinologist.They make their appointments months ahead of time.I know his lobby well.It is a hallway, actually. A lobby hallway shared with other…

Hes very nice yet seems to brush you off a bit.. rushes the appointment.

My husband's doctor is arrogant, habitually VERY late, and seems dismissive of a patient.
