Lamia L Gabal-Shehab, MD

Dr. Gabal diagnosed me with Interstitial Cystiti, which was very scary for me. She guided me through the whole process, and made a scary situation comfortable in her professional and warm manner. She is extremely knowledgeable, and is always there for her patients with patience. I have recommended her to a couple friends as well as my gyn who was looking for a female urologist in this area. I can honestly say she is the best!

She is my heroe! I have had dozens of. Isits with her in the last 4 years I have known her. I was on antibiotics for years had seen other urologist and had changed my PCP- by the time I got to her I was broken felt wrecked and depressed. Through carefully planned research we were able to figure out a process to get more answers develop a diagnosis and establish a treatment options. I was a part of this planning every step of the way. She has helped me progress and achieve periods of remission in my illness. Her staff responds within 24 hours and they will schedule same day appointments when I am in a flare. The disease I live with is cruel and at times unrelenting. I am always grateful that Dr. Gabal is at my side to help support me and present me with theatest treatment options. It's tough to find a good Dr. And she is a great one!

I never participate in the whole doctor review thing. My chronic illness, family, work, and trying to keep functioning as a contributing member of society consumes my life and I somehow allow my selfish way to justify that I dont have time or energy for this review &%#*. Although, I read the reviews ... go figure. I always thought if I were to write a review I would right a great review for my urologist Dr. Gabal. I see an enormous amount of doctors and specialist to help with treating my symptoms and believe me; I know a good knowledgeable attentive doctor from the sales driven, inexperienced, arrogant, impatient, overworked, uninformed by choice or just burnt-out doctors. When I read some of the reviews here, I read one by Skywalker wrote Sep 2, 2010 and I am compelled to write that their words seem further than the truth. Its like this person is getting this office and doctor mixed up with another?? Sure absolutely! You should write about your experience with your doctor, but I feel like maybe skywalker doesnt see many doctors. Possibly the doctor or they were just having a bad day them self. I wish all my doctors had Dr. Gabals qualities and her qualities are: patience, attentive, knowledgeable, fair and informed with much of the current medicals advances and drugs and not just within her own specialty field. I am never treated differently or feel rushed along although her compensation for being one of my insurance network providers is very little. Anyway Great doctor!

Fantastic experience over 3 visits. Very understanding and thorough explanation.

very friendly office, and dr.is great.

Dr. Gabal took her time with me, she listened to all of my concerns and, while reassuring me, made me feel that they were all valid, which doctors in the past have not neccessarily done. We made a plan for treatment and, in general, I left feeling that I'd found a great doctor.

She was very friendly and made you feel at ease. Did not rush you "in and out". This was my first visit with her and first impression was definitely a good one. :)

Dr Gabal is a wonderful physician. She spent so much time with me, explaining my diagnosis and she really seemed to care about what I was going through. She is the 4th urologist that I've seen and the first to make an accurate diagnosis and help me to feel better. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who needs an excellent urologist!

I met Dr Gabal in taking my mother to appts due to issues with bladder control. I found Dr Gabal to be extremely caring and attentive to my mother's needs and concerns. My mother was also very happy with her visits at Dr Gabal's office. Excellent physician and her staff is very pleasant and helpful.

On first visit she was charming, has a great smile, and said that I needed to have some procedure - that her office was then inexplicably unable to schedule for 3 months (the doctor is busy). On 2nd visit, she was rushed and told me to go on antibiotics for 1/2 year. When I expressed concerns about side effects she said "I do this all day long." Problem is, my other doctors completely disagree with her diagnosis and treatment order. Her office is a dark mess; dusty ancient equipment (that she says she needs to get rid of some day) and clutter everywhere. Her staff reflect her leadership: unfriendly and unhelpful. They don't even greet you.

Qualified physician,well-trained and skillful.Dr, Gabal should discuss the technical issues more fully with patients and provide practical information for follow-ups.The office support staff are below standard, seems officious.
